Week 11: The Tooth Fairy Strikes Again!

I didn’t do a very good job documenting our day-to-day activities this week.  We were pretty busy this week.  They boys had school every day this week, and most days ran into dinner time because we started late.  Monday was “Halloween Hangover” day.  I spent the morning taking down all of the Halloween decorations in [...]

Jess Moves Out

We moved Jessica into her dorm room yesterday.  It was insane. It was very hot and humid, and there were people moving in all over.  Thankfully, since Jessica is on the fourth floor, the elevators made the move a little easier.  It wasn’t until we were unloading the last load that we found out you [...]

Week 40: School’s Out For Summer!

Camden officially finished First Grade on Friday.  It has been a fun and eventful year for him.  He has really enjoyed being homeschooled, and he looks forward to Second Grade at home too. This week’s lessons were primarily a year-end review for him.  In Language Arts he focused on syllables, punctuation, and capitalization.  To say [...]

Week 26: Wrapping Up the Winter Olympics

Do you ever have one of those weeks where you feel like you haven’t accomplished a whole lot, but when you actually look back, you’re really surprised at how much you actually DID accomplish?  That was what it was like for us this week.  As I uploaded the pictures I took throughout the week, I [...]

Week 18: Twas the Week Before Christmas…

…and we were rapidly losing our focus on lessons. Thankfully, we had a field trip to the Imaginarium planned for this week, otherwise, I don’t know that the boys would have hung in there before our Christmas break.  As it was, they were bouncing off the walls with excitement. So on Tuesday, we headed over [...]

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 [...]

Week 9: Gypsies in the Palace

What a fun week!  Let’s see…we went on a really cool field trip, had a substitute teacher, and made a yummy treat. Most of this post will be of pictures.  I’ll describe what happened in the caption and/or along the way.  Ready?  Here we go… On Saturday, we decorated pumpkins.  I purchased those foam pumpkins [...]

Class of 2010

I can’t believe that my first-born child will be graduating from high school this year.  She started back to school this year, on Monday.  Her schedule looks pretty tough (Trig, Physics, etc.).  Her GPA thus far is a 3.91, and I hope and pray she’ll keep it that high. She started volunteering at a local [...]

Miscellaneous Bits O’ Stuff

I had neglected to blog about these things when they happened, so I thought I’d throw them all into one post. First up, the kids’ Award’s Night and Cam’s Kindergarten graduation: As you all know, Scott and I LOVE to go fishing!  Here’s a photo of the Spanish Mackerel I caught a couple of months [...]
