The start of our week

On the home front all four children are well and doing school today.  This is the first time this has happened in quite a while.  Also, this is the first day in quite a while that everyone was up and downstairs before 8 am.  So maybe there is hope for these children after all.  Boo really seems to be enjoying Paths of Settlement.  As one of her assignments, she has to go a dish from either Massachusetts or Connecticut.  She has chosen to cook New England Clam chowder.  I am having to make some modifications to this dish since Jacobp is Lactose-intolerant.  

Using Monarch for some of our subjects for the boys seems to be really helping.  They are doing well and it cuts down on the amount of grading I have to do, because a lot of the work is computer-graded.  This makes life a lot easier.   On the other hand, Monarch was a disaster for Boo.  She did not do well with computerized work.  With the oldest and youngest being sick recently, we have fallen behind on our Wisdom Books, but I am hoping to catch up on those activities.  I plan on cutting out some of the projects I planned on doing and working towards covering the main topics instead.

I am going to a Womens' conference this weekend called Dazzling Grace along with several other ladies from our Salvation Army Corps - including our Corps officer.  It is being held in Hershey, Pennsylvania.  I am really looking forward to attending.
