What a terrific day!
H had such a productive day today! She was sick all day yesterday, and was still pretty stuffed up this morning, so I thought for sure she would take a sick day. But she insisted that she attend school. Apparently all of the rest she got yesterday did wonders for her focus and her stamina. …

We had a fairly productive week. Today was lighter than the rest of the week, but that was because, as a family, we had a lot of things to accomplish. K was still able to get her math, writing, and spelling assignments done before we left to run errands. So, here’s what we were able …
