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?
We got home from the family reunion yesterday in mid afternoon. DH (DDDDH) unpacked the car, then ordered Chinese take out, and came home with the movie Hoodwinked. We warned the boys that this was the last Hurrah of Continue reading Well, yes M, you are right…
You’d think I was torturing them. There is a warm up period for playing happily outside. I got out some bubble solution, some straws and old wands, and they may be happy for a while. I know that the Continue reading Just Go Play outside!
Just a note to myself for next year when I start wondering, "What do I do during Summer?" The school books have mostly arrived, accept for some of the stragglers I bought used, and picked the cheap shipping Continue reading Mid Summer Homeschool Chores
A few weeks ago, we had a night of unusual food, and both boys begged and negotiated to eat only a few bites. I remembered that that was how B learned to count in the first place, it was Continue reading Just Eat It
This is mostly a note to myself – that’s why the authoritative tone. I have trouble remembering from one season to the next what worked – I want to be up to date next year! When the VBS Continue reading VBS Week Survival Strategies
I’m trying to sew my short sleeved nursing adapted blouses today. With lots of interruptions. B has gone to band and come back again, M has played water guns, built a train layout, cleaned up the train lay Continue reading Trying not to Melt

Aha! I remembered what I loved about Summer last year. I’m writing this down because I don’t like transitions, even when the next thing is a good thing. I loved doing errends in the morning without having to jump Continue reading Are We Done Yet?
We are getting to warm weather. My Mom overheard a farmer say that this has been the coldest May in Southeastern Mass for 100 years. Maybe that’s why we are so far along into June without major "Mom, when Continue reading Things I hope I write down this Summer for future reference
Wow, here is the broadcast I heard in college that taught me HOW to sort a closet – I know how, I don’t always do it. What most encouraged me is how many of Mrs Barnes suggestions have become Continue reading The Three Bag Sort Broadcast
Two weeks ago DH had two Wisdom teeth out. Last week I had a molar filled. Yesterday, DH bit down on his lower Left Molar, and it cracked, that’s the same tooth I hurt last week! Continue reading The Month of Teeth
I should have known what would await me when I said, "Yes, you may play with the packing peanuts, just clean them up yourself when you are done." M got the toys up off the rug, I had Continue reading Vacuum Discovery
