Thursday is our "short" day because we do errands and usually have music lessons, although we didn't today.
While I was at the library this morning, I found a book I thought Abby would be interested in. She was fascinated by the pictures of orphans who came to America from Europe around the turn of the century and I checked out Orphan Train by Verla Kay. Not exactly about orphans from Europe, but an interesting book, nevertheless. We also read The Long Way to a New Land, both to go along with Grandfather's Journey. We played around with the art lessons for the book, too.
Thomas and I learned about medieval Christmas celebrations, as well as the Feasts of St. Thomas and St. Lucia to go along with The Door in the Wall. We're all finished with that unit now, except for preparing for a final feast, which we will do after next week's three birthdays are finished.
Carrie has been busy with geography, but has found time to read Skating Shoes by Noel Streatfeild, Moccasin Trail by Eloise Jarvis McGraw, and Pharaoh, also by Eloise Jarvis McGraw (OOP).

What are you making for the feast? You'll have to roast something on the bone for Thomas.
Roast chicken, for one. "Mead" of some sort (not the real thing, obviously). Last time we made a sort of kugel thing with dried apricots (do you remember?). Rach and I are going to work on the plans this next week. We'll make pictures!
