but the rain is coming, so they say.  I can't totally trust the weatherman here in CT, it seems they're rarely right.  But if they are, the next 4 days will be rain.  :(

At least we'll get school done.  Today Zarek woke up feeling sick, so he went back to bed after his shower.  Alexis and I did her math together, she was getting behind.  I did math with Caitlyn and Brett and Caitlyn did her Explode the Code, she is coming along with her reading.

Today our Amazon and Children's book orders came, this is what we got!

(I LOVE new books!!!!)

Two Little Savages

Swallows and Amazons

The Borrowers

The Voyage of Patience Goodspeed

Gregor and the Marks of Secret (for my son)

The American Girls Handy Book

The American Boys Handy Book (and the children jumped right on these two and took them outside and began making things from them.  I highly recommend these classic, entertaining books)

A Lantern in Her Hand

Where the Red Fern Grows

The Family Nobody Wanted (for me!)

Two books I had ordered didn't come, they're OOP they said.  :(  However they were on the website to order!  I was disapointed.  Oh well...

We read a chapter of All Sail Set, did some of our History Pockets, Moving West, and read the little ones a chapter of Vos' Story Bible.

Now we're taking Daddy to work, coming back home for a quick dinner and then off to Alexis' last Mon. night ballet class.  The rest of the week we have no obligations, I can't wait to stay  home!
