Thank you Lord! We finally have that warm spring day we've all been waiting for with great anticipation. I think it's peaking around 63 degrees today. I just came inside from playing a little game of H-O-R-S-E with Conman and his friend......I lost ofcourse. But, it felt good. Upon my return, my daugher exclaimed, "Mom! I didn't know you knew how to play that game!" LOL Oh brother, it's been a long winter. LOL
My girlfriends and I have been talking lately about how it always seems like this time of the year is the hardest.....right at the end of the winter. It's like everyone gets cabin fever. We get grumpy, edgy, impatient with eachother. We all need a break. Just something long enough to hold us over to the end of May.
THIS however, has been a great week so far. We have done very well to stay on task and get alot done with our studies. After the last couple of grumpy months, I felt the need to change our schedule a bit to go along with the changing seasons. So, I added a "recess" into our schedule, and I make them spend it outside. =] It's done us all some good. And helped to energize us for the afternoon work.
Here's our schedule for this week:
7:45am ~ Kids Awake, make beds, eat breakfast, brush teeth
8:30am ~ Bible Study - CBS, Bible reading, journal
9:00am ~ Math
9:45am ~ Rhetoric (Individual Reading, Vocabulary, Grammar, Writing)
11:00am ~ History - This week's historical topics are Roger Bacon, the Khans and the Mongol invasion of China, and Marco Polo.
12:00pm ~ Lunch
12:30pm ~ Recess
1:00pm ~ Science - Started the Human Body, Introduction to the Systems and the Cell. BriGuy started the Health LifePac for middle schoolers.
2:00pm ~ Spanish - still using our Warren Hardy Power Verbs Level I
2:30 on Homework and Extras
Tommorow with CBS in the morning we will adjust our schedule a little to manage a half-day.

I live in Kentucky with my Honey of 17 years, our three adventureous kids, and our small zoo of two dogs, a cat, a bird and three reptiles. Together, we have a heart for serving, and a love for studying God's Word and learning about His creation. Welcome to our world!
