We actually did some hands on science today. Thank you TOPS!

Movers are here today. I'm very excited about moving to WA!

Today in latin, my kids started singing "nos agricolae sumus" to the Farmer's Insurance jingle. At least they are engaged :-P

Commotion in the schoolroom. I walk in and ask, "What's going on?" Kids reply, "Oh... just throwing hundreds and tens blocks at each other." At least they are made of foam...

I'm back after a much needed road trip. North shore of Lake Superior, Black Hills of SD, Denver CO. Epic, but it is good to be home.

Tween girl slumber party at my house. Why did I agree to this??

My husband came home from work and said, "I come bearing gifts." My son replied, "Math manipulatives??" That's my kid.

I love that my hometown library offers free and reduced passes to local museums. Yet another reason to have a library card!

While packing for a cross-country road trip this week, I sent the kids to do Khan Academy instead of teaching their usual math lessons. Ds said he would rather learn his math from me. Like the Grinch, I think my heart grew 3 sizes today.

We got a real piano today and Dd is ecstatic!

Today ds learned poetry memorization is more fun when it is done in a Donald Duck voice.

I feel so light and free today!

I'm sorry to say, dd, that you will have to change out of your pajamas for your Friday afternoon play date.

I feel like a crumpled piece of paper after last weekend's Girl Scout camp out!

I should find out today if we are going to Okinawa or not. I'm excited and bewildered at the same time!

Finally added a profile pic!

First day of coop tomorrow, and I'm teaching map coloring. I hope there is at least one kid who likes discrete math as much as I do.

Dd to Ds: Three dots are supposed to be a dramatic pause. You paused but it wasn't very dramatic.

Ds is learning the theme from Ode to Joy for the guitar. I played a Youtube clip of it and he said, "That's my slow jam." Lol!

I went to the Revolutionary War reenactment at Old Sturbridge Village last weekend. It was so much fun!

Last year my printer broke right before we started school, my replacement printer just broke. Dejá vu all over again!

I just picked up a copy of Britton's Polyhedra Pastimes. I hope it is good!

My family finally went on one of those famous Missouri float trips. I have a sunburn, sore shoulders and my kids heard quite a lot of cussing on the river. Overall it was a great experience!

You know it is the night before the last day of coop when your model pasta bridge won't stay together and your printer stops working!

I rearranged my homeschool room. Does that mean I am a "real" homeschooler now?
