After lunch Daddy gave us all a hayride before tossing out the hay left over from Friday’s party.

Yes. We ARE 315ers!

Then back inside to finish our schoolwork.
The kids [and the cat!] enjoyed coloring the planets.
We made them to scale [relative to one another].
Did you know that Jupiter and the Sun are about the same size!?
If I am wrong… please email me!

By the time we wake up in the morning we will most likely have the first black President-elect of the United States of America. I read a few editorials today by people who are transfixed by this. I really am not all that surprised. I guess growing up in NY and not being black myself, it seems completely expected. I don’t regard color that way at all. And Beau hasn’t mentioned it himself, either. But I suppose it is rather remarkable to those people who lived through the Civil Rights years or to men and women who feel the effects of racism even today. I do wish it weren’t THIS man, however. But… God allowed Pharoh, Ahab, Nebudchanezzer, Mussolini and even Hitler to reign in their times. The US cannot expect to be never have bad leaders. Now… the fact isn’t lost on me that this country is a DEMOCRACY… so that makes it somewhat DIFFERENT! But… at least we have term limits! 😉

And yes, Beau. Homeschooling will still be legal tomorrow morning.

And we will go to the polls again in 4 years.
