"Mom, you have crossed the Rubicon. I just hope you haven't opened Pandora's box." Eliza loves doing history for home school. She begs for more everyday and gets sad when she finishes a unit, puts a sticker on her chart and realizes it will one day end.

Norah loves history too and runs over to listen when we start a lesson. She can answer the questions and last night, when we were at the Living Nativity, she got excited when she recognized the name Agustus Ceasar.
