Final Week of Break

Well, we are on our third and final week of our break. It's really a break from most of our school work, although we are doing some science. Our plans have changed quite a bit from how it was originally supposed to be.

We were supposed to drive to Minot, ND for my Grandmother's 90th birthday. But the same day we were to drive through Fargo, the Red River was cresting and an early spring blizzard had all roads within an hour of Minot completely closed. So, we decided to reschedule our trip to June. If we run into the same problem then it should be proof to all that global warming is a hoax!

This past weekend I attended the MACHE conference, our state's homeschool convention. It was tiring, but good. I heard Michael Ferris talk about the ParentalRights.org PAC that he has started. If you haven't heard of it, make sure you go here to find out about it. And sign the petition while you are there.

Princess L and her sisters were invited to a birthday party for a girl in her ballet class. It was a cheerleading party. They had a blast.

This week we have a full agenda lined up, starting with getting Princess S's glasses fixed. She doesn't know what happened, but they sit so crooked that I cannot even look at her any more without getting dizzy myself. Princess L's ballet class is having family day tomorrow, so all her sisters will get a chance to join her in class. Should be interesting.

Blessings.

You know, I have never attended a homeschool convention. After 8 years of homeschooling, that seems a little odd to me, but we have just never been able to make it to ours here - it is always the same weekend as our oldest son's birthday. I think it would be SO encouraging! I'm glad you got to go to yours. Did it give you motivation to stay the course? I was very excited to learn that the parental rights amendment was announced and introduced about a week and a half ago, with lots of congressional support. It is SUCH an important issue for us at this time.

Blessings to you this Easter weekend!
