I love getting homeschool packages in the mail--especially when they are books! 

     I had to order some things for my  change of mind in history.   I thought that we were going to do Ancient History  this coming year  but, as usual,  I changed my mind and now we are going to do a head-spinning  tour through the entire history cycle.    I have all of my resources for Ancient History  for next year but now I have to come up with something for this coming year. 

     Enter Rainbow Resource.   I love that place.  It is my one-stop  shopping place.   I also love their  short shipping time.  It only took a week and a half  for them to ship it to me.   That is a good thing for a book-lover.

     My Beloved  brought home the package from  the post office very late last night.  Mia was still awake     ( I"m afraid that girl  has inherited her mother's  need for little sleep.)   At least I had someone to share my excitement.   In fact,  I think she was more excited that I was.   I know,  hard to believe.   The reason for her excitement  was that I had bought a few books  of paper dolls (Cleopatra,  Queen Elizabeth I and  Shakepeare  characters)  and colouring books  (Kings and Queens  of England,  George Washington  and  Lewis and Clark.)   These are some of Mia's  favourite things.   She wanted to wake up her siblings so that they could see the stash. 

     As usual,  I am very happy with my purchases.  Here is my list:

a book on King Tut

a book on Cleopatra, as well as the paper dolls

Sword and the Circle  by Rosemary Sutcliff

Shakespeare for Kids  as well as the paper dolls

Lewis and Clark  activitiy book,    The Seaman's Dog  (a read aloud) as well as the colouring book and a unit study book

Spymaster:  George Washington,  Revolutionary War --activity book as well as the colouring book

a book on Queen Elizabeth I  as well as the colouring book and paper dolls

4 CD sets (Tales of King Arthur,  Back of the NorthWind,  Secret Garden and Anne of Green Gables.)  These  CDs are for a big trip that we have planned in Sept.  It is really hard not to break open the wrapping and  pop them into the  CD player.

I also bought  Life of Fred-- Fractions.   I will post more on that at a later time.

So  that is all of my purchases. The girls  were disappointed that we can't play with the paper dolls until much later.   That spoiled all of the fun of getting packages in the mail.
