Here is a rebus for Psalm 139:14...

I praise You because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Your works are wonderful, I know that full well.

Ah, the things we do for our kids. I worked on that rebus for Dancers's Awana section all afternoon. But it's cool to say the least. Just right click on it and open it in a new window to see the full picture.

I get the cool mom award today! I'm awarding to myself! Ha!

So the halloween stories were pretty silly... they should have used some stories from "Scary Stories To Tell In The Dark" but it was still cool. It was freezing out there.... good thing I keep blankets in the car.

They had pumpkin doughnuts and hot apple cider after it was over. It was a fun thing to do with Dancer. :)

So... I think I've finally found the curriculum I've been looking for. It's a classical approach and the children are responsible for their learning and it's very self-directed. I knew something like it existed out there... it just took some time to find it. It's called A2... http://www.hstreasures.com/

There's also RC and another one but they are more expensive but the websites still have very valuable information. http://www.robinsoncurriculum.com/ and http://www.greatbooksacademy.org/

I don't have much to talk about today. I've got to read up and see what's going on with the FED and the Greenspan switch. Maybe I'll have more to say tomorrow.

So I've completely dropped off the face of the earth.... NOT! Just haven't been to my blog like I should... shameful, I know.

Anyhow... there is no time to write much. Dancer and I are headed to listen to halloween stories around a campfire at Rock Springs. Just so all of you wayward friends of mine, who ditched the area (and I would have, had I not gotten preggo), there is LOTS of cool stuff to do around here. You've just got to know where to look and then get off your arse and get involved. :)-

Miss you all! I'll post more later.
