We're on Spring Break right now. My grandparents are visiting from Oklahoma. So the kids had school the 2 days after Easter and then I took them to Colonial Beach on Wednesday.

While they were there, I got to go with Matthew to Hampton Roads for the night. That was fun! It was mostly driving. But we got to stop in in Williamsburg and see some friends.

This weekend we have all been in this little town trying to visit with different family members. We had a barbecue and a birthday party. My Mom is turning 55! I’ve been wanting to share the surprise my Dad had planned. Finally the plan has been revealed so I can share it.

My Dad is taking my mom and my oldest daughter to New York City. They are going by train. And they will be visiting the Empire State Building, the American Girl Store, take a ferry to see the Statue of Liberty, and then they are going to watch Wicked at the theatre on Broadway. When I heard that I was confused, but I guess it’s like a prequel to the Wizard of Oz movie.

All of this will push our school year into the summer. I planned out the school year all in advance so I’ll need to redo the last month and a half of school. But I think this time off is good. Besides visiting family, I’ve noticed several things we need to work on – especially attitudes with each other.

I’m not sure when we’ll be starting school again. Grandma’s not feeling well and now with my oldest going to New York on Saturday for 4 days. I guess I should just relax and enjoy the time off of school and spend extra time working on Real Estate until everyone is back from all trips. But with the rain and cold weather, there’s not much for them to do.

When we start back up, we’ll finish reviewing WWI and WWII, finish the life of Jesus from crucifixion to ascension, and then the workbooks for L.Arts and Math.

We’re missing several mid week Bible Studies this month. I miss that.

I’m reading a great little book called A Bride Most Begrudging.

Anyway, school, work, spring break, family, birthdays…  I guess that’s everything. The next few months will bring used book sales. Hopefully I’ll have enough saved so I can get the best deals on the books I’ll need.

See you soon!
