A Spectacular Fall Day in CT--One Month into Fall

We in CT are having the Fall of a lifetime.  The weather has been gorgeous and we have been enjoying the outdoors.  Today we swapped our normal school in the morning, play in the afternoon to ... rake up the leaves into a pile, jump in the pile of leaves, slide down the slide into a pile of leaves, etc.  What fun to have my kids at home and to be able to play with them and teach them about God's creation as we enjoy it.  We're about to settle down now into school.  Today we're studying Ancient Africa and we're preparing for our African Feast on Friday evening.  We've invited Grandma to join us as we feast on Chicken with Figs, Papaya Stir Fried Rice, Fried Plantains and Date Chewies.  We'll let you know how it is.  The kids love history (me, too!)  I learn as much if not more than they do-- I am seeing history all over again for the first time. 

Quote of the Day: My 20 month old son after dropping his pacifier, "Oh bumma".

Question of the Day:  Does anyone have a child with Celiac disease; my oldest was just diagnosed and I'm looking for a friend to chat with.
