American History-Civil War time

This was Halloween week--so that is always extra fun and exciting.  Dd dressed up as a Pirate and we went around our neighborhood and collected some fun candy!  We also had a few extra's scheduled in.  Monday was a normal lesson day.  Tuesday, Dh took a vacation day and went with us to Swim & Gym.  We also did a half day of lessons.  Wednesday we did our lessons, went to the dentist (where Dd lost another tooth-and no cavities!!!).  Thursday we cleaned up most of the day, had a mini tea party, and did another half day of lessons.  Friday, we went to Beef & Boards (playhouse) and saw the play Cinderella with LHE.  Then we were invited to the C family's house for lunch; and then home for our lessons.  This week Dd read lots, played the piano, and shot her bow & arrow A LOT!!  She chased off a pesky hawk that kept coming to our backyard feeders to catch a songbird.  She made a fort in the back corner of our yard with string, sheets, blanket, and a chair.  She really had a lot of fun being a kid.
