Blog Guilt, Biz Closure, Homeschool, and Near Death (Just a Few Little Things….)

December 29, 2009 – 12:18 am

Wow, it’s been five months since I last posted. Grandpa, I’m so sorry! (My Grandpa regularly comments on how much he likes hearing all the family news since they live in AZ). So, here’s the quick update for the three of you who don’t know:
Thanks to el crappo economo, my website business started tanking in [...]

Shin Guards and Binomial Nomenclature

July 1, 2009 – 10:37 pm

Church softball season has started up and I’m on the team again this year. Two years ago was my first season since high school (and we won’t discuss how long ago that was), and I had soooo much fun. Last year Henry was just a teeny tiny so I sat the season out. Last Thursday [...]

The Bionicle Tabernacle and Homeschool, Week 1

April 22, 2009 – 9:52 pm

Our church has the coolest Sunday School classes ever! A month or so ago Georgie came home all excited because he had homework from his Sunday School class (!!). He had two weeks to build a complete tabernacle out of whatever he wanted, so naturally he decided to make his from Bionicles. In case you [...]

April 16, 2009 – 11:51 am

Okay, so I am officially starting homeschool with the kiddos this coming Monday (4/20/09). Yikes! Actually, I’m feeling pretty ok about it. Got the schedule all sorted out. See?

What, you can’t read that? Well, click on it and it will take you to the bigger version. For term study this time we are doing a [...]

Pictures of the Kids from School

March 9, 2009 – 10:12 pm

Today Amy emailed me these pictures that she took of the kids at school (Zera Hall) over the last few months. They’re so cute!
Apparently the blue frosting was very blue.

Studying India.

The schoolroom.

Anika being her usual charming self.

Trinity loves school.

Georgie loves Dragons (and school). I think he bought the book from the school store.

Thinking hard.

Kyra’s First Day of School

March 9, 2009 – 3:45 pm

Kyra’s educational voyage began today, and boy was she happy! She’s been asking me to start doing school with her ever since her nap schedule dropped from every day to every other day a few months ago, and as I was browsing through my computer stuff today I discovered a whole stash of old alphabet [...]

First Day of School

October 1, 2007 – 4:07 pm

Due to our unusual schooling arrangement (my friend Amy homeschools them in a sort of private tutoring/homeschooling deal), we start school rather later than, well, everyone.
So today was the first day of school for Georgie, Trinity, and Anika who are in grades 3, 2, and 1. Anika was soooo excited! Last year she did school [...]

Family Camp, Summer School, and Casts

June 7, 2007 – 6:42 pm

Busy week over here! Anika got the cast off of her
arm this morning, which she was hugely excited about; tomorrow we’re
going over to my parents house for dinner and to see how their
remodeling is going (they’re getting ready to sell the house I grew up
in. It will be weird to see what they’ve done); and [...]

End of the ‘06 – ‘07 School Year

May 25, 2007 – 3:14 pm

Yes, my children’s education for the year came to a close yesterday. No more educating them. From now until Fall nothing of value will be crammed into their ungrateful skull cavities, items of potential import will be chased away until their brain stems putrefy into steaming wreckages of mush that will be hopelessly lost to [...]
