Week # 16

My Grandpa's funeral was on Monday. Needless to say we did nothing that day, or the following 3 days. We travelled back to Oregon on Wednesday. It is nice to be home, but there is so much to do to get ready for Christmas- and to get caught up on school work I am feeling very overwhelmed. We did get some school work in though. We don't usually do "structured-sit down" lessons on the weekends but did fit in some Math this weekend....
Hopefully next week will be better. If I can just make it through Christmas....

DS- Saxon Lessons 48-51 (Assesment #9- Did really well, missing one due to not reading question through- a very common problem with him)
