1. The girls started their homeschooling school year this morning. Grace is in 4th grade and Eden is in Kindergarten. Eden has already finished all her books, except we're going to read some Dr. Seuss later and do an art project and Grace is still working on hers in her room. I'm in the midst of planning some field trips for the year. So far I've got: Omsi- for Science, duh. The Portland Art Museum for Art/History, The Sternwheeler for History, the Zoo for Science and The Worlds Forestry Center. I've never been there before and Josh says it's pretty boring...but I was looking online and I thought it looked really interesting. Also...I'm wanting to take the girls on a tour of a firestation for Social Studies. Aside from that...I'm looking for some cheaper ideas because Omsi and the Sternwheeler are kind of spendy.
2. Josh and I started watching The Blacklist a few nights ago on Hulu and we are HOOKED! Spader is a mad genius and the main female actress does a pretty outstanding job so far too. So far the show is gripping and fairly clean on conduct which I really like, because ya know...the Walking Dead can be on the grittier side...but oh how I love zombie movies!
