The recorders arrived Saturday afternoon and right away I felt I might have taken a serious misstep on the road of home education. Oh yes. Serious misstep.

I have mentioned Librivox in some other places, but it’s worth mentioning again here. This is a FANTASTIC resource! Audio versions of books that are now in the public domain.

All three of my spawn children are outside playing in the backyard, armed with huge bottles of ice water, bags of pretzels, shovels for digging and they are covered in OFF. Do you, dear readers, know what that means?
