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?
Phew! That was fun, what day is it now? Co-op ran smoothly, no more tears in Temari class, just sitting in the living room stitching. The helper ladies stationed themselves near the young students to keep them on track and Continue reading Catching up on the Weekend
K was sick last night, stomach flu of some sort. That explains her clingy/demanding yesterday. She reminded me (politely!) that we were going to do the rainforest puzzle together after breakfast, and she put a few of the pieces in Continue reading Are we caught up on laundry yet?
If there is one thing that makes my Mother in law happy, it’s teaching children how to cook. Last Saturday she tried out a new dough with B, K, M and the neighbor kids. She also discovered that two pizza Continue reading {p,f,h,r} Pizza Party
There is an interview up at ChristineGuestDesigns.com with Stephanie Tallent. Mostly about her personal knitting, but she does have an interesting new book, California Revival Knits, soon to be released. I’m sure you’ve seen this video, but I Love it. Continue reading Monday’s promotion of my other blog ;-)
K is very fuzzy about time. Most days she asks me what sort of day it is. Wednesday means nothing, but ‘school day.’ or ‘church day’ or ‘Daddy has off from work today,’ make sense. I laid out my swimming Continue reading Swimming II
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
Once again Dan dressed them in borrowed lab coats and hearing protectors. The F.I.R.S.T. Expo can get really, really loud, and we forgot to make tee shirts. But it’s becoming a trademark, someone recognized them from last year. The robot Continue reading This Year’s F.I.R.S.T team
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
1. Remember to photocopy the test next time you are at the library, may as well do more than one chapter while you have enough coins for the machine. 2. Get the little kids down for a nap, so they Continue reading How to Proctor an algebra exam at my house (if you are me)
M asked me when we were leaving for the extra F.I.R.S.T. Lego League meeting, bouncing on his toes. “Oh, about 2:30.” I drawled, thinking, I’d pack the overdue library books, and stop at Dunkin’ Doughnuts for coffee (we are out Continue reading Afternoon of Lego Club
