We are getting our first bit of snow for winter '07. The kids will be happy once they wake up and see this.. although we were supposed to go shopping and to IHOP today. We'll have to see what it is like in a few hours.

Hope everyone has a fun & safe All hallow's Eve!! If your kids are heading out for trick or treating tonight, hope they get lots of good candy! Have fun and stay safe!!

I'll have pictures tomorrow of my crew and their Jack-o-Lanterns. :D

Oh and here is a fun game to pass the hours until costume time - Halloween Hangman

I thought I'd post here and share some of the books we'll be reading. I have either heard of these from other blogs, or from reading various homeschooling magazines. I'll also post the Amazon link, so you can read about them. :) 

Journeys for Freedom: A New Look at America's Story by Susan Washburn Buckley

Journeys in Time: A New Atlas of American History by Elspeth Leacock

Places in Time: A New Atlas of American History by Elspeth Leacock

Kids Make History: A New Look at America's Story by Susan Buckley

The American Story: 100 True Tales from American History by Jennifer Armstrong

Now & Ben: The Modern Inventions of Benjamin Franklin by Gene Barretta

John, Paul, George & Ben by Lane Smith

Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue by Anna Harwell Celenza

Bach's Goldberg Variations by Anna Harwell Celenza

The Heroic Symphony by Anna Harwell Celenza

Some "seem" a bit young for my kids, but they still enjoy (and so do I) the quick, easy reads now and then. Plus these books are just fun and really cute! So if you decide to check these out, hope you enjoy them! :)

I am hoping to avoiding ebay, so thought I'd post the clothing I have to get rid of here first. if anyone is interested, just send me a message. :)
