Saturday Stuff

Well not a bad morning, we cleaned up and made some muffins I call Morning Muffins because they remind me of some Muffins I used to buy years ago that were called Morning Glory Muffins.

I am going to spend part of the day going over the books I got from the library on Canada and preparing our geography curriculum for next week. I plan on spending some time on Canada as a whole first and then spending some time on each province individually after. I think it will be great fun.

I am going to make bread again either tomorrow or Monday. I am going to use the same recipe as last time as I really like how it turned out. I am going to experiment with making pizza that same day too.

I am considering our future move as well. I would really love to move to a town we lived in before, I liked it a lot there, I just don't know if it is in our budget to do so. Homeschooling would be so much better there, as there are so many more opportunities there.
