My musings on our homeschool, coop, figuring out what my educational philosophy is anyway, and will I ever make curtains for the rest of the appartment?
B’s flute teacher asked me if I would mind if he joined the middle school band (they only had one flute) and so I’ve been expecting her to let us know it was time. So today we planned to walk Continue reading We have Officially Become Band Parents
K did only get me up twice last night, but I was still slug a bed at 7AM. I heard DH herding children, and M plaintively call, "Are all these cool library books for me? But who will read them Continue reading Pre Breakfast Math, with M
You can see the height of K by the smudgs on our mirror! But I thought DH’s shot was cool to show the back of the room at the same time as the front, sort of film noir. This shows Continue reading Madegascar Highland Girl Picture Framed and Hung Up
This is how K looks in the polkadot shirt with the dashound applique that cousin K bought her – I’m so glad it got warm enough again for short sleeves so I could take a picture of her in it!This Continue reading Feeding Animals at the farm, or comparative slobber

I woke up today at 5AM because K was fussy. I settled her back in bed (I’m so glad it’s dark at 5AM these days) but could I settle me back down? No. I got up to write lists and Continue reading I Need Grace this Week
