With the flooding and concern for the 100 year old brick sewer, we’ve been seeing the Vacumator a lot lately. You’d think the whole thing was arranged to thrill my children.

We got all our kitchen table work done Thursday morning – I’m serving as M’s ammanuensis for math work, so he doesn’t have to fill in the little Miquon squares. At 11, we phoned Daddy at work, to let him Continue reading Sunny Day at the Park→

Not only did these candies have sugar, but they worked like gears and tessellated too!  The compensating natural peanutbutter on crisp bread?  Well, Mom ate that.

Not everything went well this morning, but B asked me not to blog about that part.  So I get to write about the sunny part. M was calm and happy all through his lessons, which involved spelling dictation, and things Continue reading It was a wonderful morning→

Well, operation "Keep Mom Sane in February," is progressing.  M is still sick, and his hanging front tooth is driving him crazy.  B is recovering, but still coughs like a fog horn, and K has the fever now, she wants Continue reading Tops – It’s Science, Really.→
