Artsy Fartsy
Little Thespians
We were planning on getting ready to go to San Diego on Sunday. But then we remembered that we had a workshop with Childsplay. Since we were scheduled for a workshop but hadn’t seen the play yet we checked to see if there were tickets. Daddy and grandma too them to the workshop while I … Continue reading
Busy, Busy
Thursday is usually our busiest day. The boys have three hours of art classes (dance, drama and art) in a row in the morning and then D has two and a half hours of gymnastics in the evening. This week some of the homeschooled kids were going from art block to the children’s museum nearby. … Continue reading
Symphony
We went to the the symphony today. I just heard about the symphony for the schools that the Phoenix Symphony puts on throughout the year. Very inexpensive tickets and a short, one-hour concert made it perfect for little kids. Today they did several short pieces to teach about the different types of instruments – strings, … Continue reading

The youngest class is preschoolers but the older classes are all homeschoolers. I really like the way they teach. Nothing is mandatory. They seem to understand … 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
I’m doing it again
Skipping days. Losing moments. When I decided to start over, which was definitely iffy for a while after losing everything, I planned on trying for everyday. Maybe missing a day here and there but definitely not starting to miss several in a row. Oh well. Thursday both the big kids had art block. It’s a … Continue reading
