First Day ~ February

By

I recall that our First Day of February looked much like our First Day of January. We woke up yesterday morning to roads covered in ice. So we snuggled down in the living room for a day of t.v. and video games. It was freezing cold outside. I am afraid the following pictures aren't going to be too exciting. But, they do depict exactly what we did on February 1st.

We decided that since we are going to be stuck inside for the next several days that we ought to start a new Netflix series. So, we watched the first 9 episodes of the first season of Revenge. It's pretty darned good!

Twizzlers!

What the roads looked like when we got up yesterday morning.

We have downed branches that we will have to clean up in a couple of days.

Trying to stay warm!

Brynne spent the entire day on the top bunk playing a video game ...

… while Eli hung out on the bottom bunk playing with the iPad, with toys, and reading his Lego book.

He did sneak in some Wii playtime while we were fixing dinner and not on the big t.v. watching Revenge.

That darned Flappy Bird has my kids screaming and yelling and wanting to throw their phones!

A break from electronics for some chicken tetrazzini.

Quincy couldn't pull himself away from the computer, though.

By the end of the night the snow was coming down. Looks like more Revenge today!

    This looks like a fun post to do every month. I may just have to join you. Stay warm and safe. That picture of the road just looks plain dangerous.

    We missed that storm some how. Your road looks so dangerous!! I guess we are supposed to have ice and snow on Monday. Hope it misses you guys! I'm going to use the time stuck indoors to plan my garden and chicken coop!

    In the beginning I only watched it because my shares the same name as the main character, but now it's one of our faves! When the show came out we had to make her twitter private (which is best anyway) because so many Revenge pages tried to follow her.

    Seems like Flappy Bird has taken over the whole country. That game is currently driving Grace crazy. I love Revenge. I watched the first two season in like two weeks on Netflix and caught up for the new season.

CTC Math {Schoolhouse Review}

By
We found our groove with math this year. I found a curriculum that both of the kids respond well to and seem to enjoy (as much as one can enjoy math). We have spent the whole year learning the ins and outs of multiplication and were just a few lessons away from being ready to move onto the next year-long level on division. And then an opportunity to review the 12 Month Family Plan from  CTC Math became available. To be honest, I wasn't very enthusiastic. I mean, why mess with the methods that have worked so well? When I was chosen to review the product I didn't go into it with the level of enthusiasm that it deserved. We have been using a dvd/workbook curriculum with great success. The 12 Month Family Plan from CTC Math is a web based curriculum. As we have not had a lot of luck with those types of programs, I went into this review with a negative attitude. And then my socks were knocked off by how great it is. In fact it is so great that we are going to continue to ...

Veritas Press Self-Paced History: Old Testament and Ancient Egypt (Schoolhouse Review)

By
For the past several weeks we have been reviewing Veritas Press Self-Paced History: Old Testament and Ancient Egypt and the Old Testament and Ancient Egypt Flashcards  from Veritas Press . As we were entering into our more easy-going summer schedule, and had just concluded a two-year Old Testament Bible course, I was happy to try out this product as it appeared to be something that Eli and Brynne could do together, alone, and would act as a review of the Old Testament presented in a different way. And I was right. Each Veritas Press Self-Paced History program includes 160 lessons teaching about 32 events in history. They are designed for children in grades 2-6, and it is recommended that the student be a minimum of 7 years of age at the time of the first lesson. What We Received We received a full one-year subscription, for one child, to the online Veritas Press Self-Paced History: Old Testament and Ancient Egypt program and the accompanying Old Testament and Ancien...
