Movie Night
We went to see "Night at the Museum" at the base theater tonight. What a great movie! If you have not seen it, go see it now! I have not had so much fun at a kids movie in ages...we laughed hysterically. From here on out, when The Man wants to talk, I will let the girls know that "My Dum Dum wants to speak."
The coolest thing? One entire row was taken up by homeschool kids from here on base...and it was not a planned field trip!
In other news...we got 5 packages in the mail today, including our Ancient timeline from Knowledge Quest. I have also decided I am in love with older books! Today, we got "Hero's Every Child Should Know. I am so excited about this book as well as "Beautiful Stories From Shakespeare," I can't wait to start reading them to the girls. They are both in very good condition (especially for their age), but show the marks of well loved books.
We also got Teaching Textbooks. I am a little nervous about that one. Since the sixth grade will not come out for a few more months, and Chaney placed in the 7th grade on the placement test, The TT lady said we should try 7th out. We have 30 days to send it back if it does not work out. By that time we would be closer to the 6th grade coming out. David and I talked after looking it over this evening, and he thinks I should just let her finish the Abeka (she has about 25 lessons we were just going to leave), and then try the 7th grade TT. By time we gave it a good shot, it would be to late to send it back, but we could just buy the 6th anyway and save the 7th for next year. I made sure and reminded him how much we paid for it...but, he is sure, so I am going to be sure as well :)

I love getting mail.
Sounds like you got some great stuff.
We really like the Teaching Textbooks.
And I saw you got some of IEW products. We really like them, too. I love hearing him speak at homeschool conventions.
Hope you enjoy all of your new buys.

We love Apologia books. The Astronomy book is great for young children! We're switching to TT this year after using BJU and MCP with our son. I'm looking forward to trying it out with him. He loved the demos! Enjoy your box days!
