Whew!! What a day! It was one of those days that was filled with ups and downs. Munchkin is still sick, so that explains a lot of it. We started back up with school again today after our little delay last week due to her being really sick. Overall, that went well minus a few “glitches” from not feeling well. Munchkin has been really interested in learning more about formal tea parties, so we looked around for a tea set at some thrift stores. We didn’t have any luck. Then, I remembered that I had a box that had some…

So today, we’re just relaxing and watching recorded episodes of the Magic School Bus and…

Good news, bad news… I had backed it up recently, but I wasn’t able to back up all the pictures that I had just downloaded before it crashed! Ugh! Hopefully, all will be well.
