In Which... We have a Slow Day, and Still Manage to do Little Academic Work
Actually, we got our math and English done. We also practiced instruments, made caramel apples, and read about Bonfire Night, which is celebrated in England. It's basically a celebration of the foiling of a plot to kill the king in the 1600's. We made effigies of monsters, and talked about it being a celebration of burning the 'boogey man', and then we burned them outside in the very damp fire pit. Luke was hesitant about the dark, but he braved up when the dog came out, too.
Well, I'm off to finish making dinner. I'm a hard worker, and I'm whipping together a dish I call "Fries with Dogs". Can you guess? At least dessert will be good... (Can you believe I asked the kids if "dessert' has one 's' or two?)
