Inauguration Day is Sunday, tell the children!

Hi all.  As most of us know Inauguration Day is this Sunday, January 20th.  Just a reminder for you all really, a chance to educate your children about what the day is all about!  As an import into this country I had to educate myself too....not much to it really.

If you need some help explaining to your child I found a great website that explains everything to do with congress in a way that children can relate to (even some adults who want it cut down into a basic format).

There are quizzes and games that you can print out to make it a little more fun.  So if you're looking for something for the children to do tonight while you're making dinner print out the quiz here.

Have a great weekend everyone.  I'm working on a patchwork blanket for the shop, should have pics next week but it will be very similar to this one I did http://textiletrolley.blogspot.com/2012/08/how-to-make-patchwork-blanket-no.html just different colours.
