Yesterday was our first day back on school schedule. I'm so, so glad. We needed to get back into a routine, and it was a very nice day. We started the day out with a nature walk at a nearby trail. John was off, and it was a really nice morning, unusually warm too. The kids each adopted a "tree for the year", and we did lots of exploring. I have some great pictures,,,,once my camera turns up again...
Then we spent the afternoon doing whatever school work we could squeeze in,,,math, grammar, cursive, religion, poetry, and Latin for Maria, and Math, reading, printing, religion, and poetry for Kain.
This morning we are off to a late start. We got some bad storms last night with tornado warnings....all the kids were scared and up with us until 10 or so, and at one point we were all in the school room with no power, candles lit, city tornado sirens wailing, ready to jump into the walk-in closet,,then Kain returned to my room a few hours later with the next line of storms hit. We feel blessed, it was a close one, with two unconfirmed tornado sightings just maybe a mile to the north and east of us, the system went on to cause two deaths that I know of up in Missouri. The yard is littered with dozens of branches, but no other damage to report. We've had a few near misses like this over the years, but I never really get used to it.
