We homeschoolers do some unusual things every now and then. This qualifies I'm sure, but it was a whole lot of fun! Last Saturday, along with several other homeschool families we celebrated the 2ooth birthday of Jefferson Davis- the president of the Confederate States during the Civil War. What can I say... We do live in Virginia where the Capitol of the old Confederacy is located. We all dressed up in time period clothing and had a little shindig. The girls LOVE any event where they get to play dress up! Our friend Rob was our Davis impersonator and gave us a little history lesson. Then we learned to dance several dances including The Reel. Mr Bob who is a historian and expert at sewing time period costumes gave the lessons. He said the kiddos caught on much faster than us adults.
