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?
My hair froze on my way home from the pool. This solar Spring seems very theoretical. I have been struggling to get K outside, so when Dan offered to take her to the zoo on Saturday, I was very grateful. Continue reading Snowy, Spring trip to the Zoo with Daddy
Halfway through the “Spring” co-op, it’s still too snowy outside to send the children out for recess. They are getting progressively louder and less demure during inside recess. But so far Pastor Ron has been able to work with us Continue reading I forgot that Friends don’t give Friend’s Children toys that beep
M and K have been called upon to play quietly together while I tutor – mostly by collecting puzzles and games from their dusty shelves and camping in the living room with a plate of snacks. Other times they play Continue reading Hercules is funny – who knew?
M worked on his snowfort today, the landlord send a snowblower, so he has a higher side yard snowpile to hollow out, but his old excavations got filled in. K is making Minecraft fireworks right now, the boys walked to Continue reading Still snowy
We were not disappointed a bit in Juno. I don’t know the official snowfall in Attleboro, but it’s at least 18 inches. The winds were so high, we have drifts and valleys, kind of hard to measure.It’s been quite cold Continue reading Off to city hall once we find the sidewalks

When both Annie and Elisabeth posted inspiring What Worked in 2014 posts, I wanted to write one too. And I just barely managed to do it before February! No, the photos don’t match anything. But hey, I got photos up, Continue reading What worked in 2014
In between Christmas and New Year, I started being sick. Was it a stomach bug? Gluten cross contamination sneaking into the holiday foods from other people’s homes? I still haven’t figured it out, and I haven’t gotten well. I’m to Continue reading A Half a Week of Solitude
I enjoyed Christmas Day, and with Dan taking off from work and our friend Warren visiting, it feels more like the 12 days of Christmas than work hard, have one day of fun, then clean up and wish there were Continue reading Not a typewriter
Last Sunday our church went Christmas Caroling after a soup and sandwich luncheon (I brought gf soup and brownies, desert is important.) Since we live a good 20 minuets from church, we stayed put when others went home in between, Continue reading A week of Charles Dickens (sort of)
So we are over the time of year when the kitchen table school cried out to be seen and was not heard. When I was more focused on getting everyone to the classes I had paid for, and helping them Continue reading Co-op projects
17 years old today, exploring how to carry extra supplies to Good Company Tutorials while riding a unicycle, and what patterns you can make out of a mustache. We had a birthday breakfast of yeast raised gf waffles, bacon and Continue reading Happy Birthday Ben!
