Isn't it great to have a list for the month whether you do all of it or not.Your upcoming weeks look like so much fun - but then, you girls always seem to be having a blast! :-) Glad FD gets to take more part in it this month.

No?

Maybe so?

I like imagining what you are going to do to commemorate those different days.

Zilla, lol! I wish my dh would learn how to make me a cup of coffee, bring it to me in the morning, wouldn't that be nice.

Kate, this might be a terribly uneducated question but why did so many states enter the Union in December?

Sounds like a great month. Enjoy those vacation days. ;)

Nina...from what I understand,
the first 13 states are considered "admitted" on the date that each ratified the Constitution .The others were then "admitted" (obviously later).

Nao- You Betcha! ;-)

Knowledge which is acquired under compulsion has no hold on the mind. Therefore do not use compulsion, but let early education be a sort of amusement; you will then be better able to discover the child's natural bent .
