An unexpected Wednesday

The girls came home to Texas one week ago today.
Last week was rough, this week is better.
Having the girls in their own room for the first time ever has been great.
I fought it for nine years, but having their own space is saving my sanity.
At least for now.
Anyway, today we had our fist play date in our Texas house and made our first home school friend.
Ms Donna is our director for Classical Conversations (more info on the program here http://www.classicalconversations.com/) and she has a 10 year old daughter Jacqueline.
In other news, Mary's reading has made huge improvements over the past few months.

We bought this book a few months ago and when we first got it she would take the entire week to read the book.  It was difficult to get her to read two chapters a day.  Fast forward to yesterday, kid read pretty near the whole book in less than 30 minutes.  She finished the rest of it in 10 minutes today.  I am very proud of that kiddo!
Tomorrow is a school day for us.  We are going to finish History, complete a math lesson, continue on with grammar and logic and Ruth will finish her spelling assignment for the week.
I am prepping Mary's new spelling program.  I am almost ready to start.  One trip to the store for supplies and we are testing to see what list she is on Monday morning.
