Getting Physical
Bowling Queen
Ms. B is our Wii bowling queen. Her high score today was 197. The best part was that her brother quit half way through so she bowled for him – with one remote in her left hand and one in her right she set two records. One for herself (the 197) and one for D … Continue reading
Birthday Bowling
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 … Continue reading
Gone All Day
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 … Continue reading
Gladiators!
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 and pizza. The night started with a little … Continue reading
Gymnastics Season Is Over
D had gymnastics last Saturday. Their first year most the coaches are just trying to get them to remember the whole routines – boys have even more events that girls: floor, parallel bars, high bar, rings, vault and pommel horse. It’s a lot to remember with tons of chaos and people watching. D’s been having … Continue reading
Back To Regular Life
Interrupting my next planned blog about our second week in Mexico, just to keep up with real life. Most of our free time since returning has been spent trying to get some of our 2000 photos sorted and uploaded to flickr; the first three days of vacation are now in our gallery on the blog … Continue reading
Weekend Away
On Friday we headed down to Tucson for a gym meet after picking D up at Casa Vida. C just did not want to go – not to Tucson, not out of the house. Luckily grandma had been down shopping and took pity on the homebody, swooping him up and taking him home with her. … Continue reading
A Test of Strength
D had a gymnastic strength meet the last Saturday. It’s an introductory meet to get them used to being out on the floor and wached but without having to remember their routines – plus it’s just fun. The boys didn’t compete against each other, they were just showing the best they could do. The gymnasts … Continue reading
Gymnastics
Too many days go by and it’s hard to think of what to write. Long detailed days turn into: kids colored. On that note, last Saturday was a practice meet for D’s gymnastics team. They were letting everyone get used to competition before the real season starts. He seemed to have a good time. The … Continue reading
Gymnastics Day
Today was dedicated to gymnastics, completely and utterly. While we were on vacation we got an email recommending other gyms with no explanation why. We finally discovered that D’s coach had had to quit and that had steamrolled into them realizing it would be difficult to replace him and then deciding they didn’t have enough … Continue reading
