Random 5 - July 25

It's Friday! My Random 5 thoughts for this week...

1. We had a fantastic time last week on our big history trip. Highlights include Fort McHenry, South Mountain, Antietam, Gettysburg, Fort Necessity, and the Flight 93 Memorial. We even hiked several sections of the Appalachian Trail. I feel like a time traveler!

Fort McHenry, Baltimore MD

Washington Monument, South Mountain MD

Cunningham Falls Park, Cactotin Mountains, MD

Gettysburg Battlefield, PA

Flight 93 Crash Zone, PA

2. PT is paying off for Matthew. This week at Karate he had perfect form for push ups (no sagging belly) and "Supermans." His stamina is increasing too. For a reward, his therapist let him try the much-anticipated climbing tread wall, and he did a whole minute on his first time!

3. I loathe when the hospital alarms go off. Praying for the child and family involved in the Code Blue called as I write this.

4. Thursday was Damien's 4th birthday! I can't believe my baby is so big! 

5. I feel like a sailor on shore leave, crashing my way though the internet ordering bits and pieces if curriculum. I think we are almost done! The great thing about unit studies is you can pick-and-choose the resources you want; the flip side is they never seem to be all at one site! 

How was your week? 

PS - Merry Christmas!
