If you thought this post would be about the Disney movie released last winter, sorry to disappoint you. I just couldn’t resist using that title. 😉 As I’ve shared before, Leslie is doing the Apologia Astronomy course. We just finished chapter 13 – only one more to go! When I bought the book in 2009, …
Well, yesterday I had a birthday. I’m finally to the point where birthdays just don’t thrill me like they used to! Don’t get me wrong, I am thankful for another year of life, and I’m VERY thankful to have friends and loved ones who are glad that I’m alive…I’m just tired of seeing those digits …
The boys were so excited to hear that we were finally going shopping for a bunk bed earlier this week. They have been waiting a long time. We went to every furniture store in our town, but were unimpressed with the prices and the low quality. Terry said, “I can build them a bunk bed. …
We finally did the experiment from Chapter 10, about Saturn, from the Apologia Astronomy book. (We incorrectly say it’s the Chapter on Uranus and Neptune in the video. Sorry ’bout that.) We are now on chapter 12, so I was a little behind on this one! I kept forgetting to do it, or Terry wasn’t …
I suppose it’s kinda silly. I was steering my cart through Walmart last April and passed the purses. I really needed a new one, but I didn’t want to spend the money on one. Not only that, but I always seem to pick the lowest quality of purses whenever I buy one, so it wears …
Today is “Throw Back Thursday”, so I’m throwing it back to 2004. Here are a few random photos I uncovered of our time in Lawrence, Kansas. 🙂 My little Lauren and Mitchell, ages 5 and 2, with their first snowman! How small they once were! Mitchell “reading”. 🙂 Out cold and covered up. Look at …
Our first “Oklahoma” thing to do was tour the Braum’s factory in Tuttle, Oklahoma. Braum’s is a restaurant famous for its delicious ice cream. Their food comes fresh to each store, which is why the majority of stores are in Oklahoma. They have to be within a 300 mile radius of the farm and factory …
Last week, my girls had to say goodbye to a friend who is moving with her family to a new Army post. It was a sad night. Because we were a little sad, and because we all lost an hour of sleep last weekend, Â we decided that our little homeschool would begin our spring break …
Leslie Anne is currently studying Apologia’s Astronomy book. There have been several cute experiments this year. Here are some of the latest ones. First, we created a hurricane, to resemble the massive one on Jupiter. The second video is where we made a cloud, similar to Uranus and Neptune. Leslie with her hurricane setup. Before …
I recently uploaded the photos from my phone to my computer. I was surprised at how many I had of the kids, especially Matthew! If I come upon him while he’s up to some thing cute (which is often, says the completely  unbiased mother! Ha!) then I pull out my phone and snap a photo! …
