I said at the end of each month I would write something on here, and it's already February 3rd, so I should probably put some words on here. :)
For the most part I think January was much like December. I truly don't recall much from the month as it seemed to go by as quickly as a few seconds! The most important part of our month was the first week and the National Title game. :o) If you paid even the slightest attention to college football during the 2013 season, you would no doubt have heard about Auburn's season and "the team of destiny" as they've been called. Coming off our dismal 2012 season, no one, and I mean NO one saw this season coming. Sure, we lost to LSU early on, but the remaining season was nothing short of magical. The ending of the GA game was crazy(lost my voice, had the sore throat, scared the dog..), but again with the "nothing", nothing could have prepared anyone for the ending of the Iron Bowl. Best. Game. EVER!! And no, we Auburn faithful still aren't tired of seeing either of the above mentioned games(mostly the two plays). If you guessed I again screamed to the point of losing my voice and the ever painful sore throat, you guessed right. :) Beating BAMA and going to the SEC Championship game was awesome(I know that was in December), but finding out we would be playing FSU for the big kahuna was incredible! Yes, we lost in the last few seconds and blah...blah...BLAH, but it doesn't matter to us. We made it there, and we played a good game.
I did try a few new recipes during the month but none worth sharing unfortunately. Here's hoping for something better this month. :)
We don't have any huge plans for February that I know of. Michael's birthday is the most important event this month. I cannot believe he will be 22. 22! How? He should be like, 2. :)
We are doing several unit studies right now in school that make up the bulk of our learning. Jason does math, and reading, but everything else is tied up with the studies. Winter(seasons and this is mostly a science unit), a month long study on the Olympics(we're tying various subjects into this study), and WWII which has various learning with various subjects as well. I love unit studies and lap booking in school and Jason learns much better this way. He is just NOT a sit there and listen and then do the worksheet kind of kid!
We had a warmer than normal beginning of January and a colder than normal end. We seem to be in a cycle of cold and snow right now. We'll the moisture!
Have a great February folks!
