There is no charge for awesomeness

There's a few things I want to blog about before I forget to do so! We've got some fun school stuff to talk about, too, but I'll write about that later today! :)

First of all, my baby turned 2 yesterday! :) 2 years old already! He's silly, funny, precious, wonderful and amazing, and just the most wonderful addition to our family. God has truly blessed me with my boys and I'm grateful for them everyday. :)

Next up, Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday. :) When Adam and I were together in high school and afterwards, we always spent our Christmas' with our own families....but Thanksgiving, we always spent together. :) Of course since we've been married we haven't spent all of our Thanksgivings together, just 2 of the 5. By the grace of God he is home in time this year, which is truly amazing and wonderful! :)

Five in a Row, the best curriculum ever*, has a great Thanksgiving book to utilize for the holiday and I've been so excited to row it. But I can't find it. Now, I have managed to find a few on eBay, but my husband adamantly refuses to spend $30 on a worn out book. I've been searching for a copy of it for nearly three weeks so at this point, I'd pay A LOT for any copy....but to no avail. I've ordered it used on a few sites only to have my order cancelled because they really don't have the book they said they had. I posted briefly about my woes on the Five in a Row message board....about how I cannot get my hands on a copy (oh and my library does not carry it...I've checked....A LOT). And a wonderful woman said she had an extra copy she'd mail me...for free. And she lives just in the next state so it shouldn't take too long to get to me. Ok, no shame in admitting it...I nearly cried. It was just like God himself had said, I told you I'd get you a copy. :)

*Oh, so I'm biased because it's what we use and love. :) Besides being the best way for Adisson to learn, the manuals also come with the best author/publisher team ever....that in itself is worth....well, it's priceless really. :)

Things are going well here. We've been doing a little life learning lately since Daddy is still home so much. :) But since he's at work right now, I really need to get the kitchen cleaned up and laundry done. I'll be back later with school updates. :)
