Tuesday Thrifting

Today was thrifting day on base and here's what we scooped up...



DD picked up an unabridged copy of OLIVER TWIST (I think I already own it but at the nominal price I didn't want to tell her "no" for wanting that book. LOL)
and Magic Tree House Revolutionary War on Wednesday. This is way, way below her reading level, but she wanted it and since we're moving right into studying the Rev. War, well, it will make quick bathroom reading. LOL After that we'll PBS it!


I picked up All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten which I'm pretty sure I read years and years ago when it first came out, but... figured I might enjoy it again. If not, I can gift it away  or post on PBS as it is brand new looking.

I also got THE JOURNAL OF BEATRIX POTTER (from 1881-1897) Transcribed from her code writing by Leslie Linder. Nice big hardback with book jacket. I thought it might be an interesting read to dabble in from time to time.


DH selected FOUR BLIND MICE by James Patterson. (What I don't get is how he's read this WHOLE series EXCEPT that particular book! AACK!)


He also picked up Islam and Democracy: Fear of the Modern World.

And he got another pair of uniform pants.



But the VERY COOL FIND I got FOR FREE was TWO PACKS OF TRANSPARENCIES!! Both boxes are "100 count" but are 1/2-3/4 full. So, even if there is only 100 between the two boxes, well heck FREE IS GOOD!  That means I can take the box I purchased this weekend back to Office Depot and get a refund! WOOHOO I just LOVE FREE STUFF! We'll be using these with our Tapestry of Grace mapwork.

OH! I NEARLY FORGOT--- this whole adventure today was only $4.00!  Yep, all of it! WOOHOO

Popping in and responding to you

Posted by bbullard
Hi, and glad to see that all is well. $4? Can't beat that with a stick.

You asked about how our "year" started. The kids are enjoying the new year, and I am amazed that after adding in several components that went abandoned for a time, we still quite a bit done in a timely manner. After a bout with fatigue personally, I got some long overdue rest and am again feeling inspired about this year. Exciting things are happening for us and I praise God. Also, I love your daughter's French/Indian War coverage. Very insightful way to pull an outline,and then an oral narration together. We'll speak soon.

Magic Tree House

Posted by Anonymous
Back when we were able to be a homeschooling family, I let my kids read MTH books at the start of something: Volcanos when we read about Pompei, Twisters when we were into weather, the Revolutionary War one. It was a fun, stress-free way to start a topic. They read them fast. On a funny note--both racked up tons of points aceing the Accelerated Reader tests on these when they returned to public school!!!! My son passed a couple he hadn't even read!
