Taking time to play
Spent some extra time yesterday playing with Jessie one-on-one. It was cute. We played pretend. I was the daughter and she was the mom (or grandmom sometimes). She told me it was time for a nap and covered me (all but my face) in many blankets. I was thinking I could sooooo fall asleep… snuggled [...]

My Hero
Hero: “a man of distinguished courage or ability” according to the dictionary. Yep. That about sums it up. I could get sappy and wax poetic (at least I could try) about this man but I’m not sure it would explain it any better. Love ya hon!!! I knew you could do it. More pictures from [...]
Carnivals
From time to time I read a few posts from various homeschooling blog “carnivals.” I’ve found it a great way to “meet” other homeschooling bloggers and get a glimpse of how other homeschoolers do things. Usually I just skim and read a post or two, rarely getting back to read more. (there are always interruptions [...]

And More
I seem to have hit on an art project Sam really likes. These are done with construction paper and an Xacto knife. We talked briefly about complimentary colors and positive/negative space. The ones on the left were done Tuesday, the other two were done today. I’m kinda enjoying this project myself. I wonder if I [...]
Halloween Art
More home-made decorations today! Sam and I made these cut paper decorations today. They’re sandwiched between wax paper with melted crayon shavings. I didn’t have any contact paper. Thought they came out kinda cute. They remind me of Magic Windows/Ventanas mágicas that I checked out from the library not too long ago. (just not as [...]

House Guest
Aragog has come for a visit. I’d like to say we all had fun making this, but the kids just didn’t seem into it until it was done. Then they wanted to attack each other with it. LOL! Directions can be found here. What I did differently: I used a plastic vinegar jug instead of [...]
Some Days
It just doesn’t pay to get out of bed. *groan* Today was one of those days. I just tried to do too much and am paying for it now. Or I will be once I pay the parking ticket. Went to Fall RUSH today. Was supposed to be helping at the event. Almost attended the [...]
Parenting Blues
Today I feel like a parent. Not that I ever really don’t feel like one. I’m just feeling the weight a bit more today. I know. I know. This is NOTHING compared to what could and will be felt in the future. I get the feeling I’m on the edge of (for me) uncharted parenting [...]

Oh no!
I was doing good. Going to bed on time. Then… I signed up for the free week trail at Jpod101 tonight. It went something like this… I’ll just download the newbie pdfs for us to use. Whoops! You only get to download 10 in the trial (musta missed that stipulation somewhere). Farg! I downloaded the [...]

Beethovin’s Wig
We checked these out from the library last week. I laughed until I cried listening to this cd as well as Beethovin’s Wig 2. There’s even a Beethovin’s Wig 3! If you are a classical purist (what are you doing reading my blog?), you may not enjoy these so much. If you want to hear [...]
