We watched the Superbowl last night. So my favorite commericals were the one with the lizards line dancing to "Thriller" and the one for the beer that makes you fly ... oops, flying no longer included. The flying one appealed to my weird sense of humor. Anyone else want to share their favorites?

I can't figure out why the NY Giants had no blue (not even a stripe) on their uniform shirts. It really didn't go with their helmets. But they played a great game and deserved to win.

We did school at our new library today. The library has this great "Living Room" area in the middle. We camped out near the fireplace in cozy chairs (with little trays for the kids' books, even) and went through all of our lessons in about 2 hours. The kids want to go back tomorrow ... maybe not tomorrow, but I could see us doing this once a week. Today was a great change of pace since we were pretty much quarantined all last week!

I need to find a good Language Arts curriculum for next year. Has anyone used Character Quality Language Arts? Does it take a lot of time each day? TOS Magazine gave it a good review, but I really like to see things before buying them, and I can't get the sample lessons from their web page. (They're apparently making changes or something, so some of the links aren't working now.)

It seems this is the time of year when many homeschoolers are looking ahead to planning for next year. I already know what we're going to do - with the exception of Language Arts - but I think I'll hold off until our state conference this summer to buy curriculum since I won't have to pay for shipping!

I think this blog needs a template face lift. Gonna have to work on that some time....

Hope everyone is having a good start to the week!
