  • Week in review

    We have had a decent week considering we took last week off. Math: Jacob started a new chapter involving measurement. He worked on making conversions from things like hours to seconds and inches to yards and such.…

  • Natural talent?

    We are a talented lot around here. We can sing and dance with the best of them. Don't be surprised if you see us winning grand awards and such. We might acknowledge that we knew you back in the day. But don't expect …

  • Knitting and crocheting

    I have been doing crochet for a few years now. I do enjoy it a great deal. However, knitting has been harder for me to learn. I tried working on it about a year ago. The results were less than stellar, to say the lea…

  • Whizzpopping

    We are working our way through this book as our current read aloud. The boys are really enjoying Roald Dahl's books a great deal. Today, we read a chapter that had us all three laughing so hard we were crying! It w…

  • Not my thing

    Karate is not for me. I did yoga for a while and really enjoyed it. Life got too busy and I've not gotten back to it for a couple of years. I still hope to at some point. Back to karate -- or Soo Bak or whatever it …

  • Back to business

    Well, we're getting back into the swing of things with school this week. We took all of last week off. It was nice and really needed. Back to the grind now. Yesterday went ok. They weren't super-thrilled but compl…

  • Fun on the farm

    My father in law has a farm in the country in KY. The boys love to go to grandpa's farm. One of their favorite things to do is jump on the hay bales. Well, I got caught up in the frenzy and tried it myself. It was fu…

  • Thanksgiving

    Well, we made it home again! Lots of driving. Lots of visiting. Really glad to be in my own bed again. But it was good to see family that we don't see very often. One of the places we went is a church camp ground …

  • Happy Turkey Day!

    We are on break this week. Much needed by all! The boys both slept until 9 yesterday morning. Moods are much improved as well. I think this was overdue. I really need to be more on top of scheduling in some time off…

  • Yippee -- a break!

    We are officially on a break! It has been a really long time since we had one. I didn't realize that we haven't had one for 2 months or more. That's too long. We are all tired of the same old grind. Even today, we …

  • Nothing to say

    I have come here several times, and for the life of me, can't get inspired to write. What's wrong here? Me, quiet? HA! It really has been an odd week. Sunday night, I could NOT get to sleep. It took me about 2 hour…

  • Random things and a recipe

    I got a de-clutter bug this weekend. I cleaned out the front hall closet yesterday. And today, W and I tackled one side of the garage and the little room off of it. He took a load to Goodwill, filled up a few trash ca…

  • Review of the week

    This was an odd week. The time change has thrown us off. A bit of edginess is in the air. One day in particular was totally rotten. But the storm has passed, and life moves on. Spelling: Both are moving right along…

  • ramblings of the day

    Today was such a nice day. Jacob awoke bright eyed and bushy tailed. He cooked breakfast for us including getting our drinks ready as well. Then we read from Danny, Champion of the World for a while. It was nice to s…

  • gluttony?

    W. took Adam to visit relatives over the weekend. Jacob and I stayed home for some really nice quality time. The trip home was really long due to accidents and traffic, so they got home quite late Sunday evening. The …

  • Chores

    When Jacob was around the age of 4, I started using a small chore chart as an incentive. When the chart was filled up, he could pick out a new reader from the bookstore. I only had to do this about 3 times before it be…

  • the magic soap dispenser

    Do you have guys in your house? Then you will know exactly what I am talking about. The magic soap dispenser. That's right, magic! Somehow, when it becomes empty and if you wait long enough, it will magically refill …

  • Pumpkin Bread

    YUMMM!!! Look at what I am having right now. Pumpkin Hazelnut Bread (the one on the right is without the nuts for the kids) Pumpkin Hazelnut Bread Dry ingredients: 4 c. all-purpose flour 2 tsp. Baking soda 1 1…

  • What *is* enough?

    As one who educates my children at home, I often wonder if it is enough. Is what we are doing enough? I always question, tweak, re-evaluate. But is it enough? And then I look at the schools to see what they are doing…
