Notes-
We were sick, I worked thru headaches and migraines this unit. So we only had one fieldtrip. To JoAnn Fabrics to find wool yarn.
We did also go to a Monster Truck show which was not part of the unit, just for fun. It started at 7:30 so even by the time it started the kids were tired. Isaac fell asleep on my lap and we left at intermission 10pm!
