WOW!

It's hard to believe that we have been schooling 5 weeks already. Where does the time go?

Kiddo has finished up Lemony Snicket's, "The Bad Beginning or, Orphans!" He really enjoyed this book and I found him sometimes ready past the assigned chapter(s), something he has NEVER wanted to do before. WOO HOO! He is now reading "The Mystery Of The Midnight Dog" Gertrude Chandler Warner. So far, so good!

Spelling is going great and I have to give credit where credit is due..........THANK YOU, Wordly Wise 3000!

History, one of his "BLECH" subjects as he calls them, is going very well also. We started using "Drive Through History" and I have to say, I am IMPRESSED! Not to mention that Kiddo will crack up watching it. The host of the show, Dave Stotts, is hysterically funny and takes you to some of the most beautiful places. Kiddo has even expressed an interest in going to Italy. That is AMAZING coming from a kid who doesn't want to go anywhere!

In Science we are doing the ocean. WOW.....talk about some eerie looking creatures! lol

On the home front, we have been cleaning up the yard and trying to get the girls (chickens) ready for winter. It has been in the high 40's and low 50's here at night but this week it will be in the low 40's. We already have the heat lamp in but are going to have to install another one and clean out the coop again this week as well.

We have been very blessed that our hens have been good layers. We had one day where all 7 were laying but that was short lived! lol

So, how are things going with you?
