Heat Wave

Well, not much has been happening. We are surviving the heat spell that has hit us. Yesterday, the kids and I walked to the park with the water fountains and they spent a couple of hours playing in the water. Of course in the process of making sure we had enough to drink I forgot my camera! Well, I'm off to tend to my flowers which are not surviving this heat very well at all.

We have Finished!

Today we wrapped up Ambleside Online Year 2. It has been kind of sad. We have made a lot of friends: Marco Polo, Understood Betsy, The Little Duke, Joan of Arc, Christian (Pilgrim's Progress), and the saddest to part with, Robin Hood. Overall it has been a great year. Now we will be preparing for Caleb's CAT Test before we can take a breather.
