Artsy Fartsy
Monday
So trying to blog every day for a while…day 2 (hey, that’s a streak). Monday morning was science co-op. We should have headed over to learn about salt (we’ve been working with elements, chemistry, etc), but the kids just could get moving. Instead we spent the morning reading – where we finally, Finally, FINALLY finished … Continue reading
Busy
While it isn’t why I haven’t been writing (computer down, moved photos, just general confusion), we have been busy. Today we started earlier than usual to go see the special Van Gogh exhibit at the Arizona Science Center with a homeschool field trip group. (All right, trying this again. I was trying to blog from … Continue reading
Feeling Arizona-ish
(Well my last post about daddy’s birthday failed to post and then disappeared. In short lunch, art exhibit, zoo, dinner, ice cream filled weekend.) Last month was Arizona’s centennial. Celebrations continue though. This morning we went to see The Desert Smells Like Rain. It was a great production put on by the East Valley … Continue reading
Happy Day
We’re pretty low key about holidays around here. I’ve never been big on the desperation to find a gift, plan a date, do something because you HAVE to. I’d rather see something they like or spend time because I want to. Valentines is one I’ve never really understood – the mad rush of – usually – men … Continue reading
Artistic Endeavors
So C is with grandma and papa for the weekend. I’m sure they are busy adventuring. Meanwhile biggest and littlest are evidently feeling artsy. After a few hours on skype playing minecraft with friends, D started watching youtube videos of drawing tutorials. For a kid who never even wanted to hold a crayon or finger … Continue reading
Too Much To Decide
Monday was full of fun and kids and noise and all sorts of different homeschoolers. Arizona Homeschool Theater held tryout for the spring play. Last fall D was in Romeo and Juliet. He joined the cast very late because they were looking for another boy and we have friends that have performed with them through … Continue reading
Name That Tune
They started playing a game last week where they would hum and song and then have the others guess what it was. I showed them how we could do it on the with the ipod hooked to the stereo. So that’s what we’ve been doing in the car lately. I’m surprised how many song titles … Continue reading
Home Again, Home Again
After days at grandma and papa’s house, the kids are home today. We’re going to see if we can get grandma to write something up about what everyone got up to while they were there. Everyone got right into their toys they’d missed while they were gone. Right now we’re watching So You Think You … Continue reading
Grown Up Night
Grandma came down today, which is always fun. She watched the kids so we could go to an art exhibit at The Red Door Gallery in downtown Phoenix. BOLD (Birth On Labor Day) Phoenix, a coalition of organizations serving pregnant and birthing women in the greater Phoenix Area, planned an art exhibit featuring multi-media art … Continue reading
Flipbook Fun
I found this little bit of coolness browsing bookbabies blog. That’s also the originator of the 6 word memoir tagging. Lots of fun over there. Flipbook, check it out. Mommy found it and made one to show everyone; now they all want a turn.
