Too Much!!!

Remember how excited I was about this idea? Well, it turns out that while it is a lovely idea, for my family at least it is just too much work. I have to constantly be on the kids about reading their books. And, it is taking a lot of time each day to get through everything with the two of them. So I am simplifying very, very much. It was a good experiment, and I learned more about our learning styles in this house, so it wasn't a waste of time. it also got the kids looking at different sections of the library!

And while we're really enjoying A Little History of the World and A Little History of Science, speeding through them is getting irritating, so we're slowing down and adding in content from Builders of the Old World.

And now for something completely different!

The Girl's clematis is blooming madly; my hydrangeas are in nearly full flower; the lamb's ear bloomed this year; and we've started picking cherries off our tree already!
