| Running the Race |
Olympics started early this morning. (I know this is before the opening ceremonies.)
Soccer and Archery started 2 days early, apparently team members need their rest. If I ran like them…I need a year of rest.
I guess since we are studying Ancient Greece, I’m even more excited about these games. Plus, it is in London.
Can I just tell you – I love London! Big Ben, Piccadilly Circus, the Parks, the Queen, the jewels, the changing of the guards, not to mention – tea time! Love it!!!
My hubby will speak in his British accent and my knees just melt. Mind you the man is from Kentucky, but you would never know it, when he is in his English mode.
Okay, enough lovey dovey talk….
Homeschoolers are going OLYMPIC CRAZY!

One day your children, my grands will sit around a table and discuss their days of home schooling fun! Remember the time Mom made us study Greece? I learned so much, but she also made us dress the parts. She was the BEST teacher ever. And Dad says he’s from Kentucky, but we wonder? Those were the good ‘ol days! Keep up the good work Lana (like banana) – You were born to teach!
Love you! mom (a retired homeschool mom)
Lol! you guys are too funny! I still hear a bit of twang in that accent though 😉
I do it all the time, love. did you hear that? 🙂
My favorite part of the whole Olympics is the opening ceremonies for some reason. C will sit with his globe and see how fast he can find all the countries during the parade of nations.
By the way, I would seriously pay big bucks to hear your husband speak with a British accent! I am just really having a hard time picturing that in my head without laughing.
We love you all! Crews
Love gymnastics …
Delighted to meet you today. I hope you don’t mind if I splash around a bit to get to know you. This looks like a refreshing spot to dip into some serious goodness. Always a joy to splash along with a fellow homeschool momma.
Splashin’,
Sarah
