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
Life on the Fly
Somehow with everything being put on hold with the holidays, our homeschool group ended up completely over-scheduled yesterday. Never let it be said there is nothing to do around here as homeschoolers. Yesterday morning we had science co-op. We learned about buoyancy and propulsion. After learning about the theory, the kids build boats from halved … Continue reading
From Pirates to Punk
Right now I have one sleeping, two if you count daddy, one reading a Magic Treehouse book and one doing Mighty Mind puzzles. Random. Yesterday definitely had that eclectic random feeling we specialize in sometimes, but added busy. We headed over to the Arizona Science Center. While we’d planned just to walk around, we saw … Continue reading
The Life of Unsocialized Recluses
As common as homeschooling is getting in the US, I still frequently hear concerns about my children not being socialized. I’m gonna guess they mean the second definition, 2. To make fit for companionship with others; make sociable, rather than the first, 1. To place under government or group ownership or control. Although placing them … Continue reading
Busy, Busy
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 … Continue reading
Welcoming in Spring with Bacchanal Joy
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 … Continue reading
Not So Boring After All
 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 … Continue reading
Mighty Mud Mania
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 … Continue reading
Having Princesses Over for Tea
 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 … Continue reading
Socializing & Reading
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 … Continue reading
