We have been reading, reading, reading!  Our public library started its annual reading program for children and adults, so even my son, who hates to read, is getting in on the reading action. 

  The children have also been diligently working on their chores and I have been pretty much keeping up with mine so things have been going more smoothly and the atmosphere is more relaxing here. 

  But next week, I start job training and I am hoping now that the children know what their chores are, things will go almost as smoothly. 

  If any of you have used Beautiful Feet for Early American History, I have a question for you.  Did you find the book America's Providential History to be an absolute necessity, or could you do the curriculum just as well without it?

  Have a good weekend!
