Looking to rearrange the schedule… again!

The Teacher — Fri, 22 Jan 2010 04:46:53 +0000

Well, we’ve slowly gotten back into the swing of things, but 4 dental appointments in one week does not hold out much success for school!

Yesterday, Face asked a question that I couldn’t answer right away… “Why don’t we do sign language anymore?”

Good question! It seems like in my desire to get back to normal, ASL [...] Related posts:

Is it really art?

bayoujac — Thu, 14 Jan 2010 08:06:17 +0000

For the month of December, I decided to allow the kids to do 'Paint by Numbers'. They each chose their own picture to do, and were really excited to start.

My son ended up painting TWO because he enjoyed it so much. The girls' interest waned, though.

I enjoyed watching #1 Son's true LOVE for this 'new' [...] Related posts:

Quick Dinner Recipe

I just wanted to share this recipe with all my busy mom friends here!

World’s Easiest Taco Soup Recipe

It took less than 20 minutes! If you are pressed for time to cook dinner (or just don’t have that “oh, let’s spend hours in the kitchen cooking nutritious foods for my family” gene), you should pick up a [...] Related posts:

We’re back, and raring to go!

bayoujac — Mon, 04 Jan 2010 05:08:55 +0000

Well, we sort’ve fell off the face of the earth for a while, but we’re back now!

We took a trip to Lake Chicot State Park in Lake Village, AR. It was a nice trip!

We had car trouble while up there, which meant our trip was cut short, but the weather was really nice. Cold. But [...] Related posts:

Sickness, Sewing and Super 70s!

bayoujac — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 19:03:33 +0000

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 [...] Related posts:

Oh, what we’ve been doing!

bayoujac — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 08:00:30 +0000

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 [...] Related posts:

Bread Photos

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 [...] Related posts:

Another Week has come and gone

The Teacher — Sat, 24 Oct 2009 21:19:19 +0000

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 [...] Related posts:

Homeschoolers do PE?

bayoujac — Sat, 17 Oct 2009 00:10:21 +0000

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 [...] Related posts:

We’re turning into Knit Wits!!!

bayoujac — Fri, 16 Oct 2009 05:27:31 +0000

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 [...] Related posts:
