D's birthday is today. I won't say how old he is, but it's younger than I am. : )
Basically, what this means is we will be having meatloaf and scalloped potatoes for dinner, and a big pan of brownies in lieu of cake.
There, honey, you made it into my blog. I'm sure you're thrilled. LOL
I love you!

Christmas Break
We are well past halfway through our books. The girls (and I) need a break. We are sticking to the public school schedule for our break, and will be resuming classes on January 5, 2009.
Of course, little E goes on her own schedule, so whenever she asks to do school we will. C has to finish 3 or 4 pages in science. We're right in the middle of the atmosphere, and will finish that the first few days of next week. We also have a few chapters left to read aloud in "The Witch of Blackbird Pond". She is actually enjoying the story, and likes to tell me what terms in the book she already knows from U.S. History.
After Thanksgiving we ran into horrible problems with the way Abeka introduces and teaches grammar. As soon as we are financially able I will be buying Easy Grammar, and BJUP English 5 instead. EG teaches prepositional phrases first, so I think that will make things much less confusing. Not to mention there won't be any diagramming.
Merry Christmas everyone!
