A little too ironic?.
2007-10-31 03:11:00 Lonnie comes home from work not ten minutes ago and starts talking to me about Super-boy taking exams. He feels it’s important and he wants it to happen. I guess that gives me a definitive answer then, eh? I will be putting together a set of exam questions for each subject. We are still a few ... More About: Ironic
Unschoolerish?
2007-10-31 00:50:00 I have started to wonder if I am a little unschoolerish. I realize this is not a word, but I like it anyway! At the very least I must be an extremely relaxed Charlotte Mason mama. We read the stories daily, Super-boy narrates some of them, acts out some of them, ...
Three, Oh My!
2007-10-26 23:50:00 My baby, my little Monkey , is three years old today. I am no longer the mother of a toddler, and I never will be again. My little one is a preschooler now. *sniff* The past three years have gone by too quickly. Looking back through the photos has been a ...

Smiling toes and tummy parties, oh my!
2007-10-25 22:50:00 On the way home from ‘trick or treating’ at Mommy & Me and a visit to the library today… Me: “My toes feel like they are going to sleep! Maybe my shoes are too tight.” Diva : “Well, my toes feel like they are smiling. Yes, I have smiling toes!” (skips along, holding my hand) Me: ... More About: Parties

Um?.what?
2007-10-19 16:02:00 Me: “Super-boy , why don’t you come in the kitchen and finally eat some breakfast since it’s nearly 10:00.” SB: “NOOOOOOOOO! I don’t want to! It’s not fair!!!” (cries and whines for several minutes about the injustice of breakfast) Um….what? When did feeding my kid classify as child abuse? *scratches head* I am ...
Pay It Forward Friday!
2007-10-19 14:15:00 For those of you who wake up much earlier than I do, sorry! I am sure I go to bed much later. Anyway, here it is at last, the pay it forward post. I responded to a pay it forward post last week and since the spirit of pay it forward is to ... More About: Friday , Forward , Pay It Forward
Remember, remember the 5th of November! (Ron Paul)
2007-10-18 18:01:00 Have any of you seen “V for Vendetta?” It’s really an excellent movie about a once free nation (future UK), that is now cowering under tyranny and oppression, and one man standing alone against that tyranny to bring about change. It’s a fictional movie, but how close to true is it becoming in our ... More About: Ron Paul , Paul , November
What a difference a day makes!!!
2007-10-17 18:02:00 Oh my Lord! What a difference a day can make. I actually slept last night. You know, without a fever, chills, body aches and cotton mouth. I woke up without a headache and only a slightly sore throat. I feel like a human being and a mother again. WOOT! I ... More About: Difference , Diff
PayJr.com
2007-10-16 20:24:00 I stumbled across a new site last night that I am considering using for a chore system in the house. Chores have seriously gone by the way-side since school began. I have done myself no favors by allowing the kids to get away with not even keeping their rooms clean and tidy or ... More About: Monkey , Diva , Super-boy
Of Shakespeare, Laundry Soap, Doctors and Dentists?.
2007-10-12 21:00:00 Our foray into the world of Shakespeare went very well this week! We started off listening to the audio version of Lamb’s Tales from Shakespeare, but the young lady was reading a wee bit too quickly for us and we were struggling to keep up with our paper doll puppets. So, I ... More About: Doctors , Laundry , Soap
Tackling the Bard!
2007-10-08 03:29:00 Tomorrow, we begin our study of ‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream.’ I have both the hard copy, and the audio version, of Tale’s From Shakespeare by Charles and Mary Lamb. I was lucky enough to find the book on PBS (paper back swap) and the audio version was a free download from Librivox. ...
?I need to sleep Mommy.?
2007-10-07 14:27:00 I just went upstairs a few moments ago to wake up Monkey and get her ready for church. She rolls away and groans at me “I need to sleep Mommy .” I say “Monkey, we have to go to church now, you still need to eat breakfast, it’s time to get up.” “Not getting up! I need to ...

Knitting Q?s
2007-10-03 22:34:00 I have a few questions for my knitting readers: First of all, I think I can cast-on pretty well now using the thumb method. Two needle casting-on completely did my head in and I abandoned the attempt. Is there a difference there that is crucial to anything? And then I read about 10 ... More About: Knitting , Knit
Taking homemaking to the next level?
2007-10-03 19:44:00 Most of you know that I take my wife and mommy job pretty seriously. I also consider being frugal and budgeting to be a huge part of my job and I cut costs anywhere I can. So, when I stumbled across this post this morning, it gave me something new to try in ... More About: Makin , Taking , Homemaking
I cast on! (I think?)
2007-10-03 02:57:00 Way back on July 27th, I posted about purchasing an “I Taught Myself Knitting” kit and I had planned to do just that. Well, I haven’t even had time to open the kit until tonight.

Christmas in September!
2007-09-27 21:37:00 It’s like Homeschool Christmas at our house today. When the mailman came this afternoon, he left a box behind. I am expecting a package, so I got up to see if this was what I was waiting for. It wasn’t. I had forgotten that my friend Heidi told me she was mailing me ... More About: September
Privacy Concerns
2007-09-26 18:24:00 I have read three posts just this week about privacy and blogging and I am taking them as a sign. I have removed my flickr account from my blog sidebar, made almost all of my flickr photos private, and I will no longer be using the kids’s names in blog posts. It’s quite a tedious ...

Games, games, games!
2007-09-25 17:25:00 We played “rearrange connection” today for the first time. I have had the board and pieces ready for ages and we just haven’t gotten around to playing it. Super-boy and I played twice, since I won the first time, and he needed a chance to redeem himself. Math-U-See ... More About: Games
No more diapers for me!
2007-09-24 14:54:00 I am so happy to announce that after 7 years, 8 months and 23 days, I am DONE with diapers. Monkey is finally potty trained, and trained earlier than her siblings. Woo hoo!

A moment of academic drama!
2007-09-21 22:41:00 I sent the kids (upon peril of loss of TV time for a week!) outside to play this afternoon. They got as far as the screen door and ran back screaming about a huge bug. Um…ok. I grudgingly walk over to see what it is, and it looks just like a stink bug, ... More About: Drama , Academic , Moment , Demi , Dram
Jenny Wren Arrives!
2007-09-21 17:17:00 We finally finished our House Wren notebook pages! We begin reading about the Old Orchard Bully (aka the House Sparrow) next week and start notebooking that one as well.

I *heart* Charlotte Mason!
2007-09-19 20:15:00 I am so happy with my little homeschooling life. We are reading the best stories, honestly. This morning we read the story of ‘Diogenes the Wise Man’ from Fifty Famous Stories and it was really great, but the best part was Cole’s narration. He took some of his toys and acted ...
