I'm sure Sabin will love this time with you, (and out of school) My parents did the same and so did I for my children. I also didn't pierce ears or any other disfiguring things. Then they grew up and started piercing everything in sight!

On one side of the family, Grandparents ate pickled herring and on the other pickled pigs feet...daughter hasn't had either of them. Another topic..Head Cheese...what the heck is it and why in the world would people want to eat Tripe! On a side note: Daughters Girl Scout troop always had fun making "in the jar butter".

I think you can teach all the needed basics through a common interest. just yesterday the mster and i mockingly but seriously developed a thematic unit using Spongebob (we are aghast at how young some viewers are).
