We did it! We finally got unpacked enough and got our new learning room organized enough to start back to school! Frankly, I was starting to get worried...ha Today went very well though. So far I am extremely pleased with our new curriculum choices for math and language arts. Now, if I could just actually get some lesson planning done...

The cooked-till-just-tender carrots are marinated in a mixture of vinegar, oil, tomato soup along with some seasonings and peppers and onions. If you'd like the recipe, I'll be happy to give it to you!
