A local public school closed quite a few years ago.  Last week they opened up the school so we could go in and take any book, chairs and desks that we may want.  I was sooo amazed that the number of books they just left in the basement.  We came home w/ armloads of them!!  All sorts of biographies, kid fictions, a whole set on the United States, state by state, so 52 books (it included out-lying territories)  It's pretty exciting and they kids were so thrilled when they came home & saw them.  We didn't get any desks as we have no room for desks in our house, but we may go back for a few chairs. 

     Switching subjects:  If I thought homeschooling was hard when the kids were sick, I was totally wrong.  Homeschooling is 10 times harder when I'm sick.  I don't want to do anything, but I have to. *sigh*  Add a teething toddler to that and it's chalking up to bet a tough week.  Thankfully it's the holiday season, so we have a break coming up soon.  I think I'm going to need it.  

     I went ahead and got the Bob Jones Science for Levi & James.  We started this week.  Hopefully it'll work out better than the science in FIAR.  There just wasn't enough IMO.

Awesome freebie!

I know what you mean about schooling when Mom is the one who's sick. It's rough!
