Overheard...

Drew, crying over the sad condition of one of our chickens who had been attacked (probably by her own vicious sisters): "It's hopeless, hopeless... She's going to DIIEEEEE!"

Aimee, reaching across the table to pat his hand, deep sympathy and sincerty in her voice: "It's not hopeless, Drew. Remember George Washington and Valley Forge? There's always hope!"

A lasting homeschool memory for sure.

That is one of the funniest things I have ever heard! Grant just rolled when I told him and we love the fact that your kids already know so much history, as subject that we all love here.
