1.  Parallelograms and Congruent shapes: this was our math lesson today. Lily just soaks these things in; I will assess her weeks later and she has the idea of what we learned earlier.    
 
2.  Temperatures in the 60’s in November: do I need to explain this?  My feet have been sore lately. Conclusion I’ve come to:  have only needed to wear real shoes a handful of times and my feet wish to be bare. 

   
3.  Sunshine makes everything better. 

 
4.  Sisters (and brothers):  the kids played with each other for 2 hours this afternoon after school was through. 

  
5.  Call me crazy but the time change makes calling the kids on at 5 a breeze. We had baths and pjs on before dinner.
