If You Were Ice Cream, What Kind Would You Be?

A reminder that I am still taking applications for the “Kids Are Like A Bowl of Ice Cream” contest! To recap: “Kids Are Like A Bowl of Ice Cream” ************* Fight “The Man” who tells us normal is good who brings us overstandardization and scoffs at individuality, By making your own ice cream sundae However [...]

Christmas prep!

We’re getting our tree all decorated–Sassy is a big help and puts on the ornaments right where she wants them. We’ve also hung the stockings: set out my snowglobe collection: and even set up the nutcrackers, even though they freak Sassy out: I love getting out the nativity sets, too… basically, I love christmastime! and…

Hey Guess What?!

Snow! A foot of it! And while Hubby and the older kids were out front shoveling the walkways and driveway, Sassy and I were in back living it up! We made snow angels, threw snow around, and then made a snowman. Or, snowwoman I should say. Sassy kept eating the carrots off the poor snowwoman’s [...]

bloggity blog.

Last night hubby asked me where any new blog posts were. So I told him that when I spend a vast majority of my day carpooling to different summer camps and then doing laundry/cooking/cleaning the other part of my day, it does not lend itself to witty and amusing stories. It lends itself mostly to [...]

Springtime in the Rockies.

It’s pretty divine!

Highlight Reel ’08

I’m sitting in the middle of a developing blizzard, so had some time to finish up a project I’ve been working on since late ’08. Yay! I’m learning how to work with imovie on my Mac, and so far, so…not bad! For your viewing pleasure, I’ve compiled a movie of the homeschooling highlights we had [...]

Potato Harvest…step one.

On our first day of the Potato Harvest in American Falls, Idaho, we arrived and saw row after row, acre after acre, of…dead vines and what looked like totally fallow fields. At this point, I wasn’t really all that impressed. Surely there wasn’t anything down in all that dead stuff! Hubby’s dad explained they have [...]

Mesopotamia Curriculum Resource

We’re packing for our Mt. Rushmore/Devils Tower trip this next week, which has turned into a bigger deal than usual because we aren’t staying in hotels this time. This trip, it’s KOA Kamping Kabins all week! Some without kitchens and bathrooms! Will I survive! I don’t know! I’ll leave you with a great video resource [...]

Back again.

We took a hastily planned, last minute trip to celebrate my younest sister graduating from college. Yay! It was an 8 hour drive made more complicated by the DVD player in our minivan breaking as I pulled down the driveway. A happy perk to having kids that adore TV in any form is how smoothly [...]

How we spent Earth Hour

So, all day we’d planned on how we’d spend Earth Hour tonight, starting at 8 pm. Golfer and Hubby had tickets to the Nuggets game, so Naturalist and I decided to read by candlelight (with Sassy hopefully sound asleep for the night). We ate lunch, had friends over, cleaned up, ate dinner, blah blah blah, [...]
