But, we celebrated a couple of family birthdays in January. Had a snow day. (I was quite giddy about that.) Had our first book club for homeschool group. (Love the book club.) And lots of other things.
I personally have been reading quite a bit. I've read Choosing Gratitude: Learning to Love the Life You Have and Looking Around for God:The Oddly Reverent Observations of an Unconventional Christian both by James A. Autry. I also read The Happiness Project and Happier at Home by Gretchen Rubin.
I read Mr. Popper's Penguins and Ramona Quimby Age 8 aloud with my kids. It is so wonderful to enjoy books WITH my kids.
But the gray February skies are wearing on me. I've been thankful for the sunny reprieves we've had occasionally and tried to take advantage of them by getting outside for a walk in the crisp air. Today will be one of those.
We had our February homeschool book club this past Friday. Being February (think President's Day and Black History month) we read biographies. My son read a bio on Mozart and my daughter on Helen Keller. (I realize neither of them are black or presidents, but this is where I gave them freedom of choice.) Here's a picture of the corresponding projects they made.
This was a teacher assigned project. So there was some gnashing of teeth. I view that as character building.
So, that's my little post to try to get back in the habit of showing up here.
Have you read anything lately that you've enjoyed? I'm always interested in a good read.
