Buddy Time
Welcome to the Jungle
Six hours – yes, six – of dress rehearsal on Monday and four Thursday. After working toward this weekend’s performances since January, we’re almost there. More than memorizing lines or getting to perform on stage, the sense of camaraderie with this company is incredible. In between theater games and rehearsing scenes, it’s the hugging, singing, … Continue reading
Weekend
The kids look forward to the weekend all week; they basically refer to it as ‘dad’s days off.’ Yesterday started nice and slow before we headed out for Free Comic Book Day. We ran into friends at the comic book store. Kids had a good time choosing comics, getting pictures with a robotic dalek and … Continue reading
Friday
Since Friday is usually our only day with nothing to do, we’ve been trying to go on field trips. There was a tour of the state capital we thought about attending with plans to head over to the Arizona Science Center afterword (our membership expires this month – eeek!). Then we got the email reminding … Continue reading
Thursday
Okay, so I’m not getting them up on the day, but I am trying to get one up for each day. Thursday was…boring. Not much to write so it just sort of didn’t happen. Thursday. Kids went to their enrichment program. B had a field trip to the Children’s Museum of Phoenix; she said it … Continue reading
Tuesday
Tuesday – and I’m phone posting again. Yesterday was the kids twice-a-week homeschool enrichment program. B is doing a unit on toads and frogs, and finishing up desert and rainforest. She brought home seeds in a transparent planter and one covered in black paper to simulate the desert and rainforest. C learned about Egyptian hieroglyphs … Continue reading
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
Being Social
So I’d planned on getting back to daily posting, at least for a while, to truly get an idea of how we spend our days rather than just the busy points. But, you know, I usually think of what to post as we’re out and about and then get busy at home and forget. So…starting … 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
Big Girl and Bad Boys
We seem to have almost settled into a routine lately, which is unusual for us. Monday play practice and D&D; Tuesday homeschool enrichment and akido; Wednesday homeschool park day; Thursday homeschool enrichment and akido; Friday free for all. Unusual for us. This weekend was a bit more our usual – random and eclectic and all … Continue reading
Museum with Friends
Met up with friends yesterday at the Arizona Museum of Natural History. It has all sorts of things from this regions from dinosaurs of the southwest to an area to learn about gold panning. Always a lot of fun.
