"W" Day: waiting, watching and WWII

Notes: We watched birds. We waited for and on each other. We studied a good amount. Miller led the pack today with this Usborne book. He did some excellent copywork. Need to get that snowman math working (the idea is for him to learn how to use a compass, to discuss diameter, radius, basic fractions). HRM did her history and thought about getting back on track with Teaching Textbooks pre-algebra. JB did spelling, math and, overall, we had lots of good discussions about diverse topics, including -- the architecture at Macy's, why to or not to homeschool high school, why Mac makeup is addictive, what freedom really means, who Winston Churchill was, much other WWII stuff, and then, we ended the day buying fixings for both burgers and pasta because everyone was so keen on their "independence of mind" (...one of Mom's recurring lecture topics...) that we are making two dinners for dinner tonight!?!
