The leaves are finally starting to change in northern Alabama. Last year's change was so abrupt and colorful that we were stunned. This year is different. Apparantly when it's wetter, the leaves don't change as fast - so not so many vibrant reds and oranges thus far.
School has been going okay so far. Annie still complains that school doesn't challenge her enough and I'm really starting to think about home school as a viable option. A lot of gifted families do it, as do several families I know personally. They have been very successful at acceleration and offering options that just aren't in the school system, especially with budget cuts. It's something we might try next year. After all, I am certified to teach - but unable to get a job in this state because they don't accept the credentials for alternative certification I earned. Hey, I qualify to work in Florida and even Mississippi, not Alabama though.
Right now, I'm off to pick up Emily from a Halloween sleepover party - I wonder how much sleep they got?
