Hojarasca!

I meant to put these up last week, before Halloween, but I didn’t, in all the candy and hubbub. Perhaps now I can finally get to the costume pics!

More Weirdness

Please be praying for Miss Ella. She’s been acting strange– anxious, moody, restless, agitated– ever since she woke up from her nap.

Saxon Math 3: Jim had five dimes. His sister gave him two more dimes. Write a question.
