The picture above was taken at my dad's retirement reception last weekend.  In the picture are my mom and dad, me, and my two brothers.  *Our academic week was only four days, but we squeezed it all in.

Week 10 is definitely more on the crazy side of things.  My oldest two sons are on their college fall break...one at the beginning of the week, the other at the end.  As a result, we don't want to do our normal school load.  So our schedule has ended up looking like this:

Monday - Read from Pride and Prejudice

Tuesday - Lecture from Week 10 (President Monroe, Monroe Doctrine, Missouri Compromise), read more from P & P, abbreviated Latin lesson, catch up on a reading from Pageant of Philosophy

Wednesday - Read more from P & P, abbreviated Latin lesson, unit review

Thursday - camping preparation and menu-planning

Friday - leave for camping trip

We'll be back to our regular routine next Monday!
