My musings on our homeschool, coop, figuring out what my educational philosophy is anyway, and will I ever make curtains for the rest of the appartment?
On the Monday of the 4th weekend, my in-laws suggested that we take the little kids to the park, and that they meet us with doughnuts and coffee. We needed some shade though, so we wound up along the 10mile Continue reading Peaceful, Muddy Monday
Sunday felt like a family reunion, my Cousin B came down from Cambridge, K took such a shine to him, it’s a wonder he got any Tolstoy read. I don’t think he minded that much. My in laws were visiting Continue reading It’s a wonder he got any Tolstoy read – July the Fourth Photos, a bit late
Thursday afternoon I looked at our calendar, and noticed that Friday said “Do something.” I asked Dan when he got home if that meant he had off from work. After he walked back to work, it turned out that he Continue reading Surprise Sturbrige Visit
