My DD-9yo walked through the room just now as I was perusing your weekly report. She saw the picture of the wrestlers (the copywork page) and says, "Ewww! Look at those funny guys dancing together?" I almost fell on the floor LOL. I had her read the sentence and she says, "Well now - don't I just feel like a big ol' fool!"

That picture of brother and sister is priceless.

I love your Shakespeare copywork. I'd love to find something like that. Did you buy them or make them?
