We put on a very laid-back party for ourselves tonight to finish off a unit of history. 300 through 500 A.D. We threw together some ideas for decorations, costumes, food, and games. Twas some good quality family time. I think we'll try doing it for all our history units. Maybe we'll get fancier in the future.

| He's cutting out some "lighting" for the Thor's hammers. |
 |
| We threw together a simple map of some places that played a part in this unit's studies. The boys also made a timeline poster. |
 |
| Sage put together the playing cards for charades. |
 |
| The umm. . . "swords" didn't turn out so well. |

| In honor of Saint Ambrose, such a good preacher that he was dubbed "Honey-Tongued Doctor." |
 |
| St. Monica (mother of Augustine), Saint Genevieve (with her vial of ointment), Saint Jerome (translator of the Latin Vulgate: you can't see his Bible here), and a barbarian. |
 |
| The kids put on a neat little Lego play about Clovis, the King of the Franks: his conversion experience (in the midst of war) and subsequent baptism. |
That is great! Good planning and outfits! And the pictures tell quite a bit! All the food looks interesting how it relates to the history they were studying and the people! Good job everyone!
