Quilts, Greeks and Electricity

I missed writing last weekend because I attended a quilting retreat.  Amazingly enough a full day of quilting laid me out flat on the couch until I could drag myself to bed each night!  It was a fabulous weekend though with DH taking care of the household while I was gone.  I got almost all the blocks done for a quilt for Carina. 

 

Otherwise, school goes on.  We are now up to the ancient Greek culture.  It has been interesting to fill in the details for names I have heard in passing before.  Also, I find it very interesting to be able to parallel the events with what was happening in Israel at the time.  We took a little detour from History of the World to do a little bit of Famous Men of Greece (Greenleaf Press).  I am so glad we did.  Our discussions about the character of the people in each chapter have been beneficial, I think.  Anyway, all three kids cheerfully gather when it is "history-time."

 

Science looks to be fun the coming weeks as we are beginning heat and then electricity.  We are going to play with one of those snap circuit kits and do all kinds of fun experiments.  Yesss!

 

Well, the baby has left the room.  That means I must also.  Bye til next time.

I like the title, "Electric Greek Quilts!" Those famous Men of Greece sounds like an interesting study to me too! Hope the kids are getting A's!

A quilting retreat sounds like something I'd love to do. I'm looking forward to this next year, after many years of homeschooling, having the time to work on some of those "take over the house" projects.

We used some of the Greenleaf Guides and loved them, too. In fact the OT study we used for our Sunday night devotions along with our pancake suppers. Memories...
