What do these three things have in common?
Well, the whole crew has been sick for the past two weeks. Sometimes only one or two, never all at the same time — we took turns.
So, we didn’t get much accomplished in the way of school.
We did our weekly bible reading, which had a nature study idea built […]
Last week, we had a great time!
We kicked off our Homeschool PE — we did curl-ups. We had to see how many we could do in one minute. Can I just say, doing curl-ups makes you wonder if a minute really takes 60 seconds! I managed to eek out 14. I was proud of my 14, […]
Ok, so in my last post, I said I would post a pic of our Pumpkin bread.
Well, that day, I made what turned out to be Persimmon/Pumpkin bread.
#1 Son labeled it Persumpkin bread. Clever, Right?
Anyway, the bread was sooooooooo good that we forgot to take a picture. (insert blushing face here)
I’m slowly learning my camera’s features. I […]
This week started rather slowly. The Principal of our school, AKA “Daddy” was home for the day, so it made school almost impossible.
We unschooled that day.
We had fun with our Art Study. We’re finishing up our study of Mary Cassatt, and, well, I was inspired to do something… well… interesting.
I picked a handful […]
After reading Barb’s motivating post about how she implemented PE into the homeschooling schedule, I set out on a search to find something we could do!
I found this — HomeschoolingPE.com!!
Hoorah! I’m so excited. This is awesome! This is put together in such a way that even I think I can handle it. One activity a day, […]
For those of you who may have followed my crochet blog, (which was recently merged with this one), you know my plight about learning to knit.
Well, Flower Picker has been pretending to knit with two pencils… no yarn — she’s just rubbing two pencils together at the tips. :-{
So, I decided that would be our handicraft for […]
I didn’t get to post last week. We were a wee bit busy, but we had a good week.
I’m glad to say, that after countless attempts to track down the elusive cattail, we found them! Of course, after we journeyed to photograph and sketch them, a friend of mine informed me that there are cattails in […]
When Barbara announced that there would be a new autumn series, I got so excited. I waited… and waited… and finally, it was announced.
Cattails! Cattails? Um, what in the world are cattails? Surely, this is something familiar only those on the east or west coast, or anywhere other than Bayou Country.
I sighed quietly to myself, […]
This week was a 1/2 day school week. We have a two-day assembly this weekend, and I always like to sew new things for the girls and I to wear. I made myself a skirt and shirt (that’s a first for me!) and I made a skirt and dress for Face. Flower Picker was in […]
Hey — get your hands in the air — Queen is rockin’!
Tee hee, ok, so it was totally pun-y, but I think I got the message across! Week 5 is now over. We had an interesting week, to say the least.
Our week started with our Theocratic Study. We read about some of our fellow believers in […]
