Taking Photos
P4120148.JPG, originally uploaded by aidansmac. I just got done uploading some more photos to flickr. Why mention it? Well the kids took them or at least the vast majority of them. Some are blurry, out of focus or have no specific subject. But the kids are 6, 4 and 2. They wanted to see their … Continue reading
he always puffs out his cheeks :)
he always puffs out his cheeks :), originally uploaded by aidansmac. We’re trying to play more with our underwater camera but it’s only a point and shoot with an underwater casing. Not quite getting the hang of it yet but the kids think its cool. These are photos that just got uploaded from swim class … Continue reading
Tile Shards
Tile Shards, originally uploaded by aidansmac. The kids are all with grandma and papa for a few days while we tear the house down around our ears. OK maybe that wasn’t the goal but it does seem to be the result. Our house had six different floors (not levels, like we live in a monster … Continue reading
Artsy
So I keep meaning to post about Thursday. It was just so fabulously art filled. One of the common complaints about public schools today is that the kids don’t get enough exposure to art. Art is important. It is not only good for the soul, it’s a creative outlet for everyone. It allows one to … Continue reading

Eeeee, originally uploaded by aidansmac. So I finally got the rest of the photos up from our backyard day. The part when the kids played in the sprinklers. The problem with doing photography prosessionally is that your computer hard drive fills up quickly. So when I went to load play pictures, it was full. Had … Continue reading
Backyard kind of day

While they were gone I decided to run to the post office and library . . . and locked myself out. We’re borrowing my parents truck for dump runs and their key chain doesn’t … Continue reading
Thoughts on homeschooling
So I came across a blog post recently on Limberlime about being worried about homeschooling. Her post really spoke to me. I’ve been asked many of the same questions by people in real life. For so many of the questions and comments I hear (“I couldn’t do it”, “How do you know what to teach?”, … Continue reading
Just Curious
Just Curious, originally uploaded by aidansmac. Everyone needs access to a good bookstore. Homeschoolers possibly more than most. We have a great bookstore near us. On Saturday we went to it’s 33 birthday party. They were also celebrating being awarded Publishers Weekly Bookstore of the Year. See, cool bookstore. So we took the kids to … Continue reading
Visual Discrimination
Friday D had off of enrichment so we met friends for lunch. 6 yo, 4 yo, two 2 yos and a 5 mo at a buffet. It was like music chairs. Kids had fun though and we got to talk to adults. Afterward we went to the paint store – again. We’ve lived here more … Continue reading
