I've been busy -- a little too busy for my liking, but I've been covering a lot of local events for the paper and photographing a lot of places, animals, people and events.
I'm going to try to make a concerted effort to have more time for my blog -- starting with The Olympics.
Both of my daughters are figure skaters, so the Winter Games are kind of a big deal for us. As a homeschooling family, we are taking time to enjoy this once-every-four-years event.
My girls also are taking turns being sick, so we've been snuggling up by fires, surrounded in blankets and learning about different countries, flags, sport and disciplines.

| This might be only the second time we've made Rice Krispie treats. But, the Winter Olympics seem to call for it! |

| The Opening Ceremonies called for arts, crafts and a couple of good books. |

| These Usborne books were just what we needed for a quiet night at home. My friend Kelly never steers me wrong! Check out her Usborne Books page -- and ask her for her suggestions! |
 |
| It seemed appropriate to watch the Olympic Torch ignite as we held our own torches -- $.99 LED flashlights, some yellow and orange tissue paper and a Rainbow Loom rubber band. |
 |
| Lapbooks provide a great way to keep all of our information at our fingertips -- I'll post more photos as we make more progress in our unit. |
