Summer - and heat - is finally here. Well, heat’s been coming for a while. We spent the last few weeks having water balloon fights and playing on the slip n’ slide and eating tons of frozen juice popsicles. We’re trying to keep busy, and mainly inside, for the summer. But this last week had […]

Welcoming in Spring with Bacchanal Joy
April 4th, 2010 · 1 Comment
So in a nontraditional move, which is fairly traditional for us, we welcomed in spring by having a rave. Yup, a rave. After finding a box of Halloween decorations in the garage - still unpacking from the move - we decided to actually have the dance party we’ve always said would be fun but had […]

Not So Boring After All
August 5th, 2009 · 1 Comment
I was chatting with an online friend and apologized for the delays between pm’s. I explained that I was helping to make a tambourine. Today felt like a total wash. I’ve got a headache and it just feels like we laid around all day, but as I wrote it out one thing after another came […]

Mighty Mud Mania
July 17th, 2009 · No Comments
Scottsdale, AZ host an annual mud mania converting huge swathes of a park into swamps, mud matches, obstacle courses, soapy water slides and misty playgrounds. Met up with a friend, which is always a good time. Only had the small camera with me so not great shots and really not a whole lot to say […]

Having Princesses Over for Tea
October 26th, 2008 · 2 Comments
Yesterday the house was full of princesses - and a few princes - for B’s 4th birthday party. It was a princess tea party complete with dressing up, changing outfits repeatedly, the princesses once being chased by a dragon and the whole finger sandwiches kind of tea time. She had a fantastic time dressing up […]

Socializing & Reading
October 18th, 2008 · No Comments
Very friend filled day. Started the morning with a play date. A couple of hours spent with an entire family of children. Went straight from there to a Halloween party. Who says homeschooled children don’t have enough socializing? Or is that socialization? Oh well, that’s a whole ‘nother idea.
We’ve been very busy reading around here […]

Birthday Bowling
September 24th, 2008 · 1 Comment
Another great thing about homeschooling? Kids are free during the day when things aren’t busy. D had a bowling birthday party for this 8th birthday. Lots of fun bowling, pizza, cake and fun in the game room. Overall a definite success.
At home he did a little with his electro-magnetic science kits. We hooked a battery […]

We went for dim sum with some friends from our homeschool group for the Chinese mid-Autumn festival. Then we headed to the dentist for all three kids to have checkups. And then we went to a roller skating rink where the boys homeschool enrichment program was having a get together. All three of the had […]

Another First Day . . .
August 12th, 2008 · 4 Comments
The boys decided they wanted to attend not one, but two, homeschool programs. So Tuesday was another first day. Eagleridge is much more academic than Casa Vida, which is almost all enrichment. We’ll see what they think. It’s a shorter day, but two days a week. When they had asked for the one day of […]

For those of you who are about to fight, we salute you…………………The boys gymnastics gym had a sleep over a few weeks ago. It was boys only, no girls - even mommy had to stay home. Our boys thought it was a fun filled night: friends, games […]
