Time flies...

I can't believe it has been almost a week since I last posted. I'm trying to get to bed earlier, which means I don't make it into the office late at night as much. But things are going so well!!!

I have a dream job--there is no doubt. I am SOOOO loving seeing my kids all day! Bailey and I just go along as a team and things are pretty smooth and the whole process is endlessly interesting!

In Henty, the Saxons grounded their ship on Danish soil, which led to the Danes capturing Edmund. Thankfully, one of the leaders of the group had been spared by Edmund earlier, along with his daughter, Freda. Ahh....wilt there be romance in our tale? Methinks yes!

In Science, we've been studying the solar system. Today, we mounted balloons to the ceiling that hang down like the planets and show the basic scale of all planets with reference to each other. The only one that is really off is the sun because we didn't have a balloon big enough. But we made it as big as we could (good job, Dane!)

The kids did REALLY well on their first Math tests and Grammar tests--woo hoo! They are plugging along in Latin, but Geography is a big favorite. We looked at India yesterday...featured a rural family. They hardly owned anything. Plus, no TV, radio, or computer...the kids were amazed.

Dave has been out of town since Tuesday night. He returns Saturday, the day after Geneva's birthday. We will celebrate her bday with the Kumley family tomorrow, and then the kids will stay at the Kumleys because I have a 40th bday party with Jenny S. It's a sleepover!

So off to bed I go...
