Hanging out, going nutty…

Posted on Thursday, April 20th, 2006 at

I’m really not talking about me this time! The wilderness is closing in on me.. lol. Wild animals everywhere, you’d think we live in the country or something.
Coming home from Church the other night, we saw 5 deer feeding next to the road. Then a squirrel put on quite a show [...]

Busy busy…

Posted on Thursday, April 20th, 2006 at

Good Lord this past week has flown by! It’s been crazy busy here. Kelly’s nose is fine. The doctor said if it wasn’t broken or cracked that it could just be swelled and make the nerves more sensitive. So… I was glad to hear that, but I’m sure we [...]

While surfing…

I just love to visit Plugged In Homeschool. There is always something awesome to read there. Today she was talking about how in 8th grade, they did an Earth Day project and actually left the school (riding in the back of a pickup truck no less) and gathered trash. She mentioned what [...]

Trip to the doctor…

Kelly is going to have to ease up on her old mom. These doctor trips are wearing me slick. We had to go to the doc today because she popped herself in the nose with a basketball and possibly broke it. We ended up getting Xrays because even our doc wasn’t 100% [...]

Honorable Mention Award

Posted on Saturday, April 8th, 2006 at

Last month, someone at our homeschool group left a flyer on the table about a Children’s Writing Contest that was county wide. We’ve been working on poetry, so this couldn’t have come at a better time. Just for fun, Kelly entered one of her poems. She ended up winning Honorable Mention for [...]

One of the groups I’m on, sends through questions now and then. Here’s my answers.

What a fun day!

Posted on Tuesday, April 4th, 2006 at

We had a fun day today. Since it’s voting day, our homeschool group met at the park. It was so nice out, just perfect weather. Then this afternoon, we were able to see the dress rehearsal of Bowfire! It’s an amazing group of violinists that cross all music boundaries. Everything from a quick round of [...]
