Homeschool Day 3/25

 Today was an unusual day.  Because Kid #4 only had an Anatomy and Physiology class for a couple of hours and my car is broken down (which she and I share), we went to her college and did our homeschooling there (to save a trip going back and forth in our pickup truck).  The 5th grader loves doing school at his sister's college.  There's plenty of places to sit and study.  The architecture is super interesting and I really think he wanted people to think he was in college.  (ha ha)
