From Greg: Today I was singing “All My Exes Live in Texas” and Adrianna said, “Stop! Stop singing like that! It’s annoying.” So there you have it folks country music is annoying.

My Father’s Dragon
We are really enjoying the books that our Sonlight curriculum came with. We just started (and finished) reading “My Father’s Dragon” by Ruth Stiles Gannett together – fantastic book. We loved it so much that we read it all in two sittings rather than reading only a chapter a day for 10 days like the […]
Homeschooling Week 3
We just completed our third week of homeschooling. (We took a two-week break between weeks 2 and 3 for our California trip.) Adrianna loves playing with her math manipulatives. She often asks to do math, with the hope that the lesson will call for using them. Her favorite thing to do with them though is […]
Time for Myself
Adrianna was chattering at me nonstop today, which is a normal occurrence. It started with her making seemingly random scribbles on the whiteboard and wanted me to guess what they were. Adrianna: “What’s this one, Mom? Nope, try again! How about this one. No, it’s not a ghost. Try again!” I quickly tired of the […]
Week 2 of Homeschooling
Well, we just finished our second week of homeschooling. All but the final day (yesterday) went really well. Yesterday was one of those days where Adrianna just didn’t want to pay attention, so I finally gave up and we’ll make up the remainder of the work another day. I know these days will happen from […]
First Fight
Now that Bree has taken a real interest in Adrianna’s toys, they had their first sharing fight today. Bree had a toy cell phone that Adrianna really likes, especially since I just replaced the batteries in it last night so that it makes noise again. When Adrianna heard Bree playing with it, she came into […]
How to be a Real Teacher
Adrianna just told me that I need to wear a pencil behind my ear so that I “look like a real teacher.” (I think her Junior Kindergarten teacher must’ve often done this?)
Fancy Dress
I have a lot of special clothing from my childhood that I hope my girls will one day wear. The clothes that are still too big for Adrianna are hanging up in her closet. There are a couple of dresses that have caught her eye and she has begging to wear them even though they […]
First Day of Kindergarten – Scrapbook Layout
This past week marked my daughter’s first day of Kindergarten and also our first week of homeschooling. Two very big firsts for our family! Credits: Kit is “A New Day” by Sweet Shoppe Designs, the lined paper is from Misty Cato‘s “School Girl” kit, ABC border is from Quirky Twerp’s “Little Classroom Borders” (FREE), Template […]
Super Mario Brothers Picture
Though there may be talk of Alice interspersed now and then, we aren’t done with the Super Mario Brothers characters by any means. Yesterday I pulled out my huge suitcase and two boxes of paper scrapbook supplies. Since I do all my scrapbooks digitally now, I thought these would be great craft supplies for my […]
