Off the road
We just got back from a whirlwind trip to Minnesota. We thought it would be a great idea to do the (1000 mile) drive in one shot, rather than breaking it up into two days. It was great–for the kids. They slept the majority of the time because we started at night. MTG and I, […]

What strange customs these natives have
We’re currently in Minnesota for my sister-in-laws wedding, which was Saturday. It was lovely and the junior bridesmaid, flower girl and ring bearer were fantastic. The bride and groom are now happily hitched. The bride was beautiful, the groom was beaming–just what a happy couple should be. It was a rather elaborate affair, not expensive […]

Well, this is new
The Bulldozer has discovered the delights of disrobing. Mostly, it’s just the shirt. But the other night, he stripped bare, climbed into our bed, and then peed in it. Of course, he was on my side of the bed. We heard him run into our room, but when we peaked in, he was all covered […]

FridaySaturday Five: a meme
I’m being a joiner today and participating in the Friday Five – Things We Love About Our Kids meme. Because my kids are so wonderful. But in the spirit of non-conformity, I’m gonna post it on Saturday, because I can. (Oh, and I had to leave in the middle of typing the post yesterday.) 1. […]

Why, yes! I am an arrogant jerk!
A while back, a soon-to-be homeschooler wrote about her decision to homeschool her children next year and the preparations she’s making. Her excitement and worries are familiar sounding for most homeschoolers. In fact, she’s ahead of the game of a lot of us (meaning me) when we started. So, yay! Another homeschooler! But what caught […]

Flowers, links and personal stuff
This was taken beside a highway west of Fredricksburg in April 2004. The bluebonnets are beginning to bloom in North Texas. Saturday we had the Sprite’s birthday at a farmhouse museum, and I got my first glimpse of bluebonnets. Today, I saw a nice swath of all sorts of wildflowers on the way to a […]

Surfacing for air
It has been a hectic, crazy, busy, insane (redundant much?) time in our household. Thus, I’ve not blogged and have missed out on some fun. For example, Dana at Principled Discovery has been celebrating Home Education Week in Nebraska with a series of post and inviting others to join in. Very cool. I missed it. […]

Getting around to the Green Hour
So we finally did our Green Hour Challenge, assignment 1. Yes, I know everyone else is on Green Hour 27, but we’re doing it now. I hate to conform. So we went outside, we looked, we splashed, we threw rocks. There is a very nice nature preserve about 10 minutes from us. We headed off […]
