I did go to the used homeschool book sale I mentioned in my last post.  Here is what I ended up with...

LLATL teachers edition-orange...$1 (I needed the student yellow & gray but orange would be for Princess the following year & for only $1 I can get an idea of what will be needed)

Exploring Creation with Biology by Wile...$10

A thick workbook on the presidents & the states...$1

A thick workbook about beginning geography for grades 3-6...$1

A book of easy botany experiments done w/household items...$1

Studying God's Word book G...$1 (a few pages written in, but we do these as a family morning Bible study together anyway)

At the Feet of Ordinary Women, finding yourself in Titus 2:4-5 (For me obviously)...$2

Got some movies too.

Set of 3 Indiana Jones vhs...$3

Same River Twice (focus on the family films) vhs...$1

Then on our way to lunch we passed a church rummage sale & had to stop.  They had a whole table of books marked down 10 for $1.  So, of course, I had to find 10.  I won't list all of them, but I've got several good books to keep me busy for a while.

Other news:

Tomorrow starts my last week of babysitting.  I had a long discussion with my sister & so far everything seems ok.  I was just afraid that she would be mad & keep the kids from visiting, but I'm happy to say, I think I was wrong.  

I made out a new schedule & daily duty (chores) list for my children along with the rest of the school work they must complete.  I am trying to be optimistic now & think everything will work out fine.

Well, that's it for me today!
