Today’s playdate with Heather turned into a group affair with 6 moms and 15 kids, as we decided to meet at a local park to beat the “scattered t-storms” that were predicted to hit this afternoon.
A few minutes after we arrived at 10, though, the skies opened and the rain poured down. No matter how [...]
PisecoDad, JediBoy and I were thrilled to take part in a Blog Tour from Mom Central this week! They graciously sent us two games for the Nintendo DS: Guitar Hero On Tour: Decades and the brand-new Guitar Hero On Tour: Modern Hits, so we could try them out and let folks know how we liked [...]
For our snack this morning, we put together a red-white-and-blue muffin tin in honor of Independence Day!
Our tin had RED strawberries, raspberries and babybel cheese, WHITE vanilla yogurt and string cheese, and BLUE blueberries and blue corn chips.
We decided to add a little FIREWORKS to our snack. First, we sprinkled the yogurt with red and [...]
Head over to Mom’s Marbles, where you can win a copy of the new Jonas Brothers dvd!
Big thanks go out to Ron & Andrea for doing a big upgrade to Homeschool Journal! I am poking around the new Dashboard and getting used to the new behind-the-scenes layout.
Yesterday was a long & friendly day – we left home at 9:30 in the morning and spent the day at the park, with friends, [...]
Heather has a pool… and my kids really aren’t swimmers.
Today we spent about three hours around her pool in the hot summer sun. JediBoy was so tempted, watching Ethan and Ben play, but we just could not convince him to get in the water.
Occasionally he would go sit on the ladder. Then he started reaching [...]
I have been mostly absent from the online world for the past week… for good reason! Thursday my family arrived to visit, Friday was JediBoy’s 7th birthday and on Saturday we had a huge, rained-out-into-the-living-room God Party. PisecoSis just left for home this morning so we’re slipping back into our usual routine today.
I hope to [...]
JediBoy, as you may remember, has long been entranced by gods from various cultures. When he was three, he insisted on being Thoth (Egyptian god of writing and scribes) for Halloween. As we have worked our way through Story of the World: Ancient History, his favorite sections have been on the gods – Egyptian, Greco-Roman, [...]
JediBoy went up another belt in karate tonight… I don’t think I even had a chance to post a pic in his green belt, which he had for only two weeks and two days. Two weeks and two days! (There’s no need to chew your cabbage twice in here!)
It may have something to do with [...]
You were warned!
She’s singing the poopsmith song, she’s doing the potty dance. Yesterday BabyGirl finally broke a months-long kibosh on pooping on the potty.
There was much rejoicing, and we even took her straight to Target to buy a $5 Strawberry Shortcake movie. She ran through the aisles, dancing and laughing. “I pooped for Strawberry ‘cake!”
