Week 25

We enjoyed our week off...mostly.  Unfortunately, a few days were wasted by me being sick!!  Anyway, that's over now and we had a very productive school week.  This week we managed to complete everything scheduled!!  We have a lot to accomplish the next 5 weeks.  If we stay on track, Justin will complete his history and writing curriculum by our next break.  This will free up some time to do some other things that keep getting pushed to the side, like Logic and Latin.  =)

Week 24

Wow!  I have never been so excited to have a week over!  School was just fine this week, the weather, not so much!  I'm just about done with winter!!  Things were moving along smoothly until we hit Wednesday.  Our power went out about midnight Wednesday.  It was a long night watching the sky light up with transformers blowing and listening to tree branches falling.  Thursday was a long day.  The roads were icy and we were stuck at home with no power, heat or internet.  When night fell Thursday, we had had enough.  The house was cold and we were just DONE!  Friday morning didn't look any better.  We received bad news that the power may not be restored until 11:45pm Sunday!!!  At about 7am, we sat in the car to warm up and made the decision to give up and head to Grandma and Papa's.  I loaded up the car with our clothes, blankets and what little bit of food I had saved from the freezer/refrigerator.  On the way there, I ran into a neighbor who talked to the power company and gave us a glimmer of hope.  "We are next!", he said.  We were afraid to get too excited, but it gave us hope.  Thankfully, our power was restored by 9:30am Friday morning!!! Yay!!  We are looking forward to a great week of sunny weather and no school!!

Here are a few pictures of our week.

Week 23

Another week done!  Yay!!  We have one more week to go until our break.  Nothing really interesting happened this week.  Justin started his second set of invisaligns without a problem.  School is going fine.  We're on track to finish most, if not all of the curriculum, by the end of May.  Most of it will be finished early.  We'll use any remaining days for review. 

Week 22

This was the longest week ever!  I think it was because of the impending weather that was less than impressive.  We spent a day waiting for snow that never really happened.  Well, it did happen, but not as much as expected.  Through it all we still managed to get school work done all 5 days.  We are counting down to our break in February.  Here are a few pictures of the 2014 Blizzard.  LOL
