A very brief review ...
- Church - almost on time
- A fairly quiet Sunday afternoon - worked on some school stuff
- Grilled out Sunday night - yummy!
- Bedtime has been somewhat challenging with Benjamin - mornings even harder since he is waking at about 5:45 every.single.day (we've been here before with Samuel)
- Clara is sleeping through the night in the crib - it's a trade off and I'll take it!
- A couple of loads of laundry and the girls had haircuts last night (Emma is already growing hers back out so she needed a trim to start the process)
- Made my way through the curriculum yesterday - finished this reading list for Sam
I'll share it here because I absolutely love book lists and maybe there will be something here that someone else can use. Plus I can type it up once and have it printed to add to and take with me to the library. Some are read alouds (me to Sam), some are read alouds (Sam to Ben) but the majority Samuel will read aloud to me or on his own. To save time, they are in no order. The majority are part of our history study this year ... some are recommended reading with My Father's World, some are on the Sonlight list and a few others I have picked up along the way. I am trying to post more frequently but in an effort to not get "stuck" I am limiting the time I spend editing my posts so forgive my spelling, por favor.

I am trying to figure out how all these books fit in to ALL the books we got in the curriculum? A list like this scares me but maybe these are TINY books. :) You are a woman of action. I thought I was! :)
I can't wait to check out some of these books!!! Thank you for taking the time to post it. I love the picture of you and Chris. It is a framer! Samuel is looking like his Daddy big time! I just realized how white we are compared to our men. I look like a ghost next to my olive skin man!
Love to you!
Thanks for sharing this! We love so many of these on here.
Hope you guys have a great year, Kim!
Centerburg Tales and Homer Price by Robert McCloskey were two favorite 3rd grade books in our house. They are funny! Loved your list. It's a great idea to write it all out to take to the library.
