So once again, I missed the 2nd week of Blogging through the Alphabet. But I’m not going to let that stop me. I’m going to bend the rules a bit and do 2 letters in one post so I can catch up. First, B is for Books. My husband and I share a common weakness. It’s…

Weekly Report – The Insanely Busy Week
Do you know that commercial with the guy sitting behind a desk saying, “I can do that. I can do that….How am I going to that?” That’s kind of how I felt at the beginning of this week. The kids had 3 cross country meets. I had 3 writing deadlines. I had a consignment sale…

We take many of our field trips when dad can come so they’re not actually during school hours, but they’re our field trips nonetheless.

Creation Museum
We took our first trip to the Creation Museum on Thursday. We had been looking forward to it since we heard they were building it. It was not a disappointment. The museum was very well done.
