Hamster Toy

I was running an errand at the hardware store here in town with the kids. Abby saw this on the shelf and asked if we could get it for our hamster. He might like the new toy for a little bit. Hehe.

Garden Catch Up

Image
I've spent the last two days outdoors doing garden/yard work.  On Tuesday, I caught up in my yard with weeding my garden, mowing the lawn, cutting out volunteer trees where they don't belong, and other small chores I hadn't gotten around to doing.  It took most of the day.  I was tired.  Yesterday, I caught up at my mom's garden.  Half of it was not weedy due to heavy mulching.  The other half was amazingly weedy.  It took me four hours to clean that up and finish staking the tomatoes.  After supper, I spent several hours at garden #3 attacking the weeds there.  I am about 70% done there, but went home early due to tiredness and irriation at the approximately 3,485 mosquitoes that decided I looked like a good supper.  Needless to say, my body is tired and in need of a rest.  Today will be a low key day where I get caught up on indoor, less active duties.  I am slowly picking up my running again.  I didn't even tr...

Field Trip

Last week, I sent the kids on separate field trips.  They each attended a day of public school with a friend.  David went with a 7th grade buddy (David is technically in 6th grade, age-wise) and had a decent time.  His first and foremost complaint was that his lunch was too small and he was still hungry after he finished his lunch.  Do you think the boy is growing???  He came home being happy about being homeschooled.  He did enjoy PE because they got to roller skate.  He also enjoyed the study hall where he could do what he wanted to do, which was see how high he could go in the Mayan number system we had studied earlier in the week. So the day was pretty uneventful for him.  He said he doesn't think he wants to try out public school right now. The girls were a different story.  They each went for a half day with their respective friends that are in their grade.  They came home bursting with excitement over how much they lo...

Roving Fever

Well, there is still sickness in the house.  It seems to randomly be picking its victims.  Here's the rundown on who had fevers on what day: Saturday & Sunday:  David and Ana Monday:  Abby for the entired day.  David and Ana joined her by 7:30 that night. Tuesday:  Ana & David Wednesday:  Abby & Ana I'm hoping we kick this thing soon!  It's sad to have little ones who don't feel so hot.  We did take Monday and Tuesday off from school.  Today was a low key history day.  We read about Alexander the Great for awhile.  Then switched gears to see what was going on over in the Americas around that time period.  We read about the Nazcas and Olmecs.  Then we did a few art projects.  We first tried making our own Nazca earth drawings.  Here's an aerial view of one.  It's really amazing to think of someone doing this and making them without ever being able to see them.  Since we don't ...
