Pretty! :001_smile:

I have been blogging about our favorite SOTW1 AG projects. I have a label just for SOTW so you can look at just those. We're only on chapter 4 because of a sick week and an extra week of our own ancient Egypt stuff, but we're moving on at a fairly good pace. We're doing the Mummy Chicken this weekend. :D Yesterday we did the "Clay Tablet or Paper: Which Lasts Longer?" project. Our Archeology Dig was also awesome. And I found in a book instructions to make an easy Egyptian wig.

Thank you, that part confused me.

For k science we did the Evan-Moore Learning to Be a Scientist book. What was most important for me was not that he remember every science fact we covered (and it covered a range of subjects) but that the main concepts about what scientists do was remembered and he could apply/identity those concepts to science he learned in the following years. (Scientists make observations, scientists make comparisons, etc.) It's a K-1st grade book, and required no reading or writing. The kids had a LOT of fun with it. If you're interested, I blogged about all the lessons. (The search puts the newest posts on top and the oldest on the bottom, so you have to go to "older posts" to see them in chronological order.)

Yes, I saw that and it made me sad. I don't see why one single mother had to ruin it for everyone else. It said that the law had special exemptions for just that sort of thing, but it wasn't in the general part of the laws.

I make Stove Top stuffing meatloaf. Dh loves it, but the kids don't eat it. Also, Sams' Club stopped selling it, even seasonally, so it doesn't happen anymore.

:D He might enjoy the Horrible Histories (with Socrates.) There is also this sketch of him refusing to be rescued, and asking "why" a lot.

I don't think that's something that you're likely to change people's minds about. I think an attitude like that, when confronted with something major-bad happening that doesn't end "rosy," can interpret those bad things as punishments from God/they did something wrong or have turned their backs on Him/they don't have enough faith. Which is sad to me. I actually wrote a blog post about my experience with ds3 being born premature yesterday, but it turned out okay, so I don't think it will help change those facebook posters' minds. I know some events have caused people to turn away from God for a time because it seemed like He turned His back on them. I think my attitude made a lot of the difference for me.

:iagree: I saw caramel being made on Masterchef and I thought they made it from sugar? :confused: I remember there being a deal about how they stirred it and it made it grainy and they weren't suppose to do that? (1st or 2nd season.)

Ooops! I thought I had put the link up! Thank you. :blushing:

I hope this isn't breaking any rules. Amazon.com giving away one $25,000 gift card on Facebook. I know a lot of people here get a lot of stuff on there, so I thought I'd share (even though it decreases my chances of winning.) You have to have a Facebook account, "like" the Amazon Facebook Page and then click on the link and give them your name, e-mail, and phone number. You also have to have an Amazon.com account. It ends October 1st. If the winner finds out from here you HAVE to tell me!

I definitely empathize with being so close and wanting to just.finish. But it does sound like you need a break. It doesn't have to be long. Maybe a week or two, and then try again. It's amazing what a week or two break can do for attitude over here.

Absolutely.

And ordered Singapore with a

:D

It's suppose to be like the Ryan Gosling pictures. I never thought of those as pick up lines, but then, I miss a lot of nuances.

:confused:

My sister just posted this on my facebook. :D

:D My sister just shared this on my facebook.

(Haven't read any of the other posts.) I use index cards with what needs to get done for that day (our cards are general, [10 minutes handwriting] [Grammar Lesson] etc.) We have a small basket where we "check" them when we're done. Ds picks the order (except history/science, which we do in the afternoon.)

Muffins that taste like doughnuts. I saw it on the muffin thread.

Is it okay if I revive this thread? I loved reading the stories. I have one from today: Ds3 came up to me and said "Hold me like a baby. I'm a baby." Then he saw the game I was printing and read the list of multi-syllable words including "chipmunk," "insult," and "rustic."

That's really cool! Thanks for sharing. :001_smile:

Ds5 LOVES Where's My Water? It's a really cool logic game put out by Disney.

:iagree: That's what I was going to suggest. Apparently the...umm...cream? (:blushing:) is good for softening the cervix.
