Jessica’s Homecoming

Jessica had her Homecoming last weekend.  Here are some pictures from that event:

Week 14: “LET’S GO EVER-BLADES!”

This week was kind of a laid-back week.  We had a trip to the Imaginarium planned for Tuesday, but ended up not going because the boys had no interest in ‘botany’…especially since Camden just finished doing a botany study in his Science class.  Knowing how the boys are, I decided against the field trip, and [...]

Mites Hockey: Week 9

I know I haven’t blogged about the boys’ hockey games in a couple of weeks, but honestly, there hasn’t been anything NEW to report.  While I find their games fun, I realize that not everyone does, and unless there’s something new to report, then it’s kind of boring.

Corn: We started our Thanksgiving Unit Study on Monday learning about corn.  I had purchased some Indian Corn of [...]

Halloween 2009
