Made something new for breakfast this morning (chocolate malt-o-meal, which I liked as a child.) Adrianna was not a fan, and asked me, “Mom, I don’t like this. Why did you make this?” *sigh* Apparently, I made it because I like to hear my children complain about the nice things that I make them. (I […]

Aquarium Field Trip
Today was Homeschool Day at the Denver Aquarium. Since that means discounted entrance fees + fun classes, we were happy to attend! Since we also had horseback riding later in the day, Bree excitedly told me, “Today I will get to see TWO of my favorite animals – seahorses and horses!”
Destination Imagination
Adrianna had her Destination Imagination competition today. DI is her favorite class and she was SO excited for today. Her team did the “Drop Zone Engineering†challenge. They had to come up with a skit that also incorporated a small structure that could stand up against weights being dropped on it. Her team got third […]
Computer Academy

Dodgeball
The girls were part of a homeschool dodgeball league this winter.

Our tour guide was awesome and kept the puns coming, including telling us that the Denver Mint was the only government agency that makes sense [cents]. LOL It was fun […]
Sun Day
Today is a good day for a “sun day†break from school. Our afternoon appointment got pushed back a few hours, so we decided to take a little walk along the Bobolink Trail after lunch. The school to-do list will wait until Monday. Oh, and that dress Adrianna is wearing was mine in high school. […]
Middle Schoolers
Well, we survived an afternoon of 9 middle schoolers at our house! Lots of food, pop, noise, and video games. I hope everyone had fun (I know Adrianna did!) One of the things I had hoped for when we decided to finish our basement this summer was to have a space to open up for […]
