It has been a couple of crazy busy weeks. I have successfully went through every single bit of old mail, magazines etc and have gotten myself back organized where all incoming mail is to be sorted into bills or junk. I am still sorting through boxes of items still packed from my divorce from my ex 16 years ago. I am finding things long since thought lost and other items I am like....really...what did you save this for?!?!?!? In between all of that I have been playing catchup on home school studies with DD.  We have gotten behind with all the holiday running around we did and right when we were to start back I stayed sick a good 2 weeks. All in all January has been good to us so far.

Last Friday we took our first field trip of the year with our home school group. The first part of the day was spent at the
R.W. Norton Art Gallery. We could not view the gun nor the book exibitions because of remodeling. The curators were absolutely wonderful in interacting with us and all the kids. I will definitely be sure to go back in April when the remodeling is done to peek at the rest.
 
The second part of our day was spent at the 8th Air Force Museum on the Barksdale Airforce Base. It's one of those places I have seen the signs for it seems like forever but have never made time to go.  It's not a large museum, it's actually just more of a building that holds some pretty awesome pieces of history. Outdoors there were several different types of aircraft. I think that was the kids favorite part. It was especially nice with the weather being just perfect for an outing.
 

This week will start us out bright and early with some algebra fun. Wish us Luck!!!
