I blame Andrea.
Between reading Zahi Hawass’s book Curse of the Pharaoh, resalting the Pharaoh’s Chicken, making step pyramids out of Legos and sugar cubes, and going to another good animal presentation on the library, I have had precious little time on the computer today.
And I spent what little time I had laughing out loud, to [...]
In between everything else that’s going on this week, we have gone to two very fun birthday parties. When JediBoy was born, I started going to La Leche League meetings here in town, and I met a group of moms who remain very dear friends. All of our first babies were born in [...]
Today PisecoDad is home sick with the same awful cold BabyGirl is just getting over. While the two of them napped upstairs, JediBoy and I went on a wonderful Egypt romp.
For old times’ sake, we read his two favorite books from when he was 3: Mummies in the Morning (Magic Tree House, No. 3) [...]
The latest edition of the Carnival of Cool Homeschoolers is up over at Homeschooled Twins… and this week it includes a link back to my post about our Good Knight adventure.
I think I’ve just gone up to the next Level in Homeschool Mothering. This weekend I was leafing through some Egyptian Activity books (it’s telling, though, that I just happened to have four books of crafts and activities about Ancient Egypt on my shelves). I thought it would be fun to try some [...]
As of July 1, we are officially homeschooling and responsible for reporting to the state. We’ve just wrapped up our fourth week and I’m finding it a relaxing Sunday habit to put these posts together. I also print out a copy to slip into JediBoy’s weekly folder. I enjoy reading this type of post on [...]
It’s Friday, and it feels great. Poor BabyGirl has a little fever and a runny nose, so she’s taken no less than five naps today! But in between her mini-naps, we’ve taken advantage of the finally sunny weather and dry driveway to tackle some fun outdoor art projects, the best of which was…
What a good knight we had today…
Our local library brought in a man who is something of a medieval expert (though he says it makes him feel old to be called An Expert) with his arms & armor.
JediBoy was in heaven.
The knight started out dressed simply, something like this.
Then he had one of the older [...]
JediBoy woke up this morning about 4:30 and was up for two hours. Then he crashed again, and slept until after 11:00. This is unusual for him, to say the least, and we spent a slow and lazy day at home. We did play a whole bunch of board games, and between [...]
JediBoy’s new math is my old math – old as in the early 1980’s: he has found a new love in my old Speak & Math. Do you remember the extra-geeky cousin to the Speak & Spell? Well, my high-tech double-screen boy loves the clunky old technology as much as I did when [...]
