Complete Units Available for Purchase. June 30, 2014. Viking Era Historical Fiction Reviews from Miriam. Argh, I am behind AGAIN! I forgot to post this way back when we finished the Viking Era (800-1000 AD). Miriam was unwilling to go into great detail about these books, but she did give them star rankings, which I hope is helpful. Miriam turned 11 this month (wowsers) and she enjoys books at grade level and significantly higher. Viking Quest books, including Raiders from the Sea,. Black Fox of Lorne.

Complete Units Available for Purchase. July 29, 2014. I'm actively starting to hate the Weber County Library System. I know, I know- you should never hate libraries, but the policies are so punitive and make it so costly to use the library that I find my blood pressure rise every time I have to interact in any way with the library system. Oh, Davis County Library System, I miss you so! First- Davis lets you renew books after they are overdue, Weber does not. Davis doesn't make you have a pin number.

Complete Units Available for Purchase. August 26, 2014. First Day of School Pics! The first day of school was awesome. It felt so good to be following a schedule again- even though there were glitches here and there. I'm still working on training the children in their new chores and helping kids stay on task. We didn't get to history, but that isn't very surprising. I figured we wouldn't do the extras until we got into the groove of things. Labels: Frolic and Farce. August 23, 2014.

Complete Units Available for Purchase. May 30, 2014. We had a fun day yesterday (and today- we went swimming for the first time this summer and I think even Oskar had a good time). We read: The King's Fool: A Book about Medieval and Renaissance Fools. It is a pretty fun book. The kids love the topic and the author included lots of great info about real historical fools. I had to explain some of the "wit" to them. :). Then we watched one of my favorite old-timey movies: The Court Jester. May 29, 2014.

She will be going into grade 7 and she is shifting in her reading from lazy, easy reading (how many Hardy Boy books are there? Not that I mind, funny girl. Some were too old, some too young, some about topics that I don't find interesting but Miriam does (forensic science), or vice-versa. Please, I'm seeking after those things. Yes, I realiz...
