My musings on our homeschool, coop, figuring out what my educational philosophy is anyway, and will I ever make curtains for the rest of the appartment?
I’m not good with the time change, in fact, yesterday the boys were ready for school before I’d showered. “Well,” the evil voice in my head said, “B can read, have him read to M.” They would pick the book Continue reading Smatterings of life around here
The boys were able to earn $5 each today cleaning out the car – DH thought I was over generous on their pay since they helped their sister and I make the mess in the first place. Last night I Continue reading Fragments
When I returned from evening church, K called to M from her crib, “Mommy Home!” M reported to me, “Mom, K was wild tonight; she would say, ‘ah wan’ movie!’ and we would start a movie, then she would say,’ah Continue reading D’s Evening with K, according to M
The Cook’s Illustrated Cobb Salad turned out so pretty, that DH called my Mom to join us (the avacadoes would not last as leftovers anyhow) Mom is usually so determined to eat up her own left overs, I forget to Continue reading Dinner at the Circus
Usually when the socialization question comes up, the wrinkled forehead of my interrogator smooths out when I mention co-op. Rightly or wrongly! So far the kids have learned to raise their hands when they have a question (M tries raising Continue reading Socializing at Co-op

The boys are easier to get out the door, so B often unicycles down our hill with M running behind. He waits at the corner to cross M. Once K has her shoes on, and I find my watch and Continue reading 11AM at the Park
Yesterday we came home from Sunday School early, because M didn’t feel at all well, he was voluntarily sitting still too, so he wasn’t faking. Today he’s still off, and we are butting heads, I’m trying to remember why he’s Continue reading Today’s Homeschool
Usually M gets roped into helping K with the puzzles. She’s sort of a throw the pieces when mad sort of girl. She got some vocabulary practice in too – This PIG Momma. I was so pleased that she did Continue reading K’s First Ever Independent Puzzles
