I have nothing to talk about these days, except for school?  Maybe it is because I haven't done anything else.

This morning was a bit rough.  DD struggled with a negative attitude about everything until almost the end of the morning.  By the end of spelling and the time for copywork, her attitude changed.  After lunch, she took a short nap during her quiet time, and this afternoon went much more smoothly.

DS carries on happily for the most part.  He has been a little more prone to tears lately and looks tired.  He is still getting over his cold, and that may be part of it.  I think he is also having to get used to the idea of not having a playmate for a good part of the day.  He loves his schoolwork though.  He is just starting to read words with a blend at the beginning and is finding it a little more difficult getting his tongue around all the sounds.

My TOS magazine came today.  I can hardly wait for a bit of quiet time to dig into it.  Maybe this evening after all else is done.

We have visitors coming over tomorrow for a grilled supper.  I plan to make a big potato salad and maybe a pasta salad as well.  I need to cook a load of potatoes and boil some eggs today, and I also have to cook dinner--which is all planned--just has to be done after I clean up the kitchen.  Guess I should get to it now.

Sonlight seems to be working very well for us.  I save all the reading out loud for the afternoons, and it is fun to finish the day cosied up together on the couch.  DD really seems to be enjoying it.  I did think it was wierd the first day when the Intro to CHOW was assigned.  That was BORING for me, let alone for the children.  I skimmed and skipped most of it.
