Emme feels like she is a "business woman" whenever she wears a jacket.  LOL 

School went smoothly and quickly today.  Subtraction seems to be going pretty well for her, which I am glad.  I always had trouble with math in school.  Our Native American study is winding down and we will finish at the end of the week with our lap book of what we have learned.  She still stumbles when reading, yet she whizzes through phonics like nobody's business -- which is odd to me. 

We drew a house today with 31 icicles on it for each day of January.  We are going to color in the icicle according to the weather.  Today started with a touch of snow and ended up being sunny, so it got two colors (Emme's input).

She has been drawing a lot of fantasy type pictures -- castles, unicorns, and princesses.  I think all little girls love to do that!

We started learning about our first state today -- Florida.  (Em chose)  We talked about Florida being a peninsula, just like Michigan.  We also discussed how it has two different bodies of water on each side.  Of course we talked about Disney World, LOL.   We will learn the state flag, flower, bird, main exports, etc throughout the week and each day complete 1 or 2 pages to end up in a notebook, so by next year we will have a notebook on every state.  (I have a huge 3-ring binder these will all go into eventually)

I'm going to be heading out tonight to buy this crafting supply bag at Michael's that I had my eye on before Christmas.  I am going to use it to hold crayons, erasers and pencils, highlighters, markers, etc.  It has a lot of pockets on the side of it and handles so we can easily transport stuff from room to room.  It is on clearance for 9.99 and it is super adorable to boot!

While I am out, I am also going to be heading over to the bulk food store, as I need cumin and I cannot find it ANYWHERE!  I may also grab a few other spices while I am in there -- but no goodies, as I have started healthy eating. 

I also need to stop and get some staples, pens, folders, and I am sure something else I have forgotten! 

I am giong to attmept to FINALLY hook my printer back up, as I really like to use printable from the Internet to compliment our studies!

Well, I better get to it!  We have to leave here shortly,
