The days have been going pretty fast over here. The weather is getting warmer, spring-cleaning is in the air. School is moving along. C turned 10 on the 28th, J took the National Latin Exams and we got his results back today. He got an Outstanding Achievement Certificate. I am really proud of him because Latin has been been a hit and miss (mostly miss by me) in our homeschool, but he plods along slowly on his own. That is why signing him up for an online class next year is such a good idea. The twins are still, well the twins. L said yesterday that he wished he could travel back in time and talk to the Sumerians and tell them that inventing schools was one of the worst things that they could have done. Alas, my boys do not like school. But as L says, 'whether we like it or not, we still have to do it, so there is little point in complaining. Right now, it is 67plus degrees outside, the 3 younger kids are running around outside, J my oldest is doing Latin, I am at the computer. The other 3 still have history, science and music, but it is so peaceful in the house, I am just going to leave them outside and call it P.E, Nature Studies and Exploration and Adventure. Ahhhh, I now have a clear conscience.

We finally completed our study of Egypt. We ended up making papyrus last week, and mummifying apples. The kids had a blast. We started the Ancient Greeks this week. Math is still the favorite around here with the three younger ones and they are moving quickly through it. Planning has started in earnest for next year. There are so many good things out there I want to use but alas, there is really no time.
