Maggie read a whole book

Ok, this sounds like a really silly thing to be excited about but Maggie doesn't usually like to read. Today she got up and I was already reading my book. I was at the point in the murder mystery when you don't want to put it down, so I was reading. Maggie did the same thing with her book, from the series Charmed (also some DVD's that she enjoys watching) She read all day and just now finished the book. I'm so proud of her b/c she saw it through b/c she wanted to, not b/c anyone made her. Guess I'll go to the library and see if there are more charmed books.

Sickness

Maggie was sick yesterday. She is better today, but slept pretty much all day yesterday. I knew she was sick b/c she stayed in her room all day by herself. Today she is better, but still a bit pitiful. It's cold outside and she is happy to stay inside. She was supposed to be in riding class today, but she is sick and it is cold.

Homeschool in front of the fire

Maggie's favorite part of homeschooling is being able to do her schoolwork on a cold day and sit by the fire.

Today we got back to everything. She did some work over the holidays, but today was her first full day back. She says her brain is tired. She is progressing well.
