My Little Symphony

"To live content with small means; to seek elegance rather than luxury, and refinement rather than fashion; to be worthy, not respectable, and wealthy, not rich; to study hard, think quietly, talk gently, act frankly; to listen to stars and birds, to babes and sages, with open heart; to bear all cheerfully, do all bravely, await occasions, hurry never. In a word, to let the spiritual, unbidden and unconscious, grow up through the common. This is to be my symphony." - William Henry Channing

It's Box Day Again!

A few days before Olivia left for Greece (sob), we had our annual Box Day.

It's the day we get our curriculum from Sonlight in big boxes.

I swear it's like Christmas morning.

So many goodies inside.

Everyone is shouting: "who is this for?", "Is this MY science book?" "Ooooh, look at this!"

It's barely contained chaos.

I love it!

Box Day -- Sonlight's idea, not mine -- creates excitement around books and other learning tools.

I'm already a total nerd about books and notebooks and office supplies, and I'm glad to see that the kids have inherited that passion.

Here's to Homeschool Year #2, coming this fall.
