Week-end: links & life {vol. 13}

“When the spirits are low, when the day appears dark, when work becomes monotonous, when hope hardly seems worth having, just mount a bicycle and go out for a spin down the road, without thought on anything but the ride you are taking.”
– Arthur Conan Doyle

Homeschool-wise, nothing vastly exciting to report, which is entirely okay with me. We’ve enlisted a math-minded friend to help explain concepts that have had me and Kathryn both wanting to bang our heads on something; our workbox is still working well for Scout (who got a cute new ‘do this week!); and the boy is convinced that his upcoming 6th birthday means he will immediately become a 1st grader.

Piper

Piper starts obedience classes next week. This is a really good thing because a high-energy dog is challenging, and a smart one even more so. Example: she unzipped her bed before shredding the contents. And that was when I’d only left the house for 20 minutes!
