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?
M has been reading a controlled reader a day for the last 3 days, mostly remembering which letter is d, and which one is b or p. The ease or difficulty of that reading depends on how much his teeth Continue reading Status of the Scholars
I put this post together last week. Just pictures from walks from December and January. No snow yet but still pretty. Especially sideways light on moss. The kids didn’t always really co-operate When my upstairs neighbor kids came down Continue reading {pfhr} Taking a Walk
Our Christmas runs happily into F.I.R.S.T. Lego League season really quickly. I think I lost my camera somewhere in the middle, I did lose 16 inches of hair. (That was on purpose though, the cut makes me feel pretty). Our Continue reading {pfhr} finding the Christmas Photos
We visited the Abundant Hope Pregnancy Resource Center this morning. I’ve been meaning to volunteer there with the kids since they opened, but kept forgetting to call. We arranged our old National Geograhics on the coffee table, after being instructed Continue reading Random Notes
K was getting fractious just as W our visitor wanted some rest. I suggested that we go outside to try out K’s new ball. It needed inflating, so I found the bicycle pump, and the adaptor, but I wasn’t sure Continue reading Bahm!
Wrapping Paper and Tape are the most important. She’s wrapped tags with “to” written on them, and purloined toilet paper. It was clean. Unwrapping is important too. Sometimes she’ll do it for you.

I went through the back hallway, put away the Fall weight coats, and found my missing camera. Just in time for Christmas 1.0 All the little kids liked to climb on B and M.
B’s concert was short and sweet, K didn’t have time to get naughty when Dan took her out to the hallway to fidgit and dance. This morning one of our Dairy Queen light bulbs failed spectacularly, and burned a hole Continue reading Random Happenings
We all caught K’s cold the day after Thanksgiving. So we are a week behind in the original homeschool plan. I ‘get’ to re-invent that plan today, being Mary Pride’s ‘Slasher Mom.’ I’m trimming whatever does not seem to be Continue reading Remembering the Week of Illness
That day B went to the aquarium with DH? The rest of us tried to have a regular school day. Funny, it turns out that having B along means that things really run smoother, who knew? It was 11:30 AM, Continue reading {pfhr} Chilly Picnic
All my guys are at the LEGO Club making mindstorms robots for the upcoming F.I.R.S.T. Expo – so K and I get to…well, I’m remembering my 3 year old all by myself skills, and they are rusty. Today I first Continue reading Saturday Afternoon with K
