VALENTIMES

Brynne's Homeschool Co-op Valentine's party was last Friday. When she was working on some Valentines, she said, "I wish you would write where I could read it." I asked her what she was talking about. She was copying "Happy Valentine's Day" that I had written for her, and she pointed to the second "n" in "Valentine's" and said, "What's that?" I told her it was an "n". She gave me the blankest stare, like I had lost my mind. I spelled the whole word for her and she said, "Ooooohhhhh .... I thought it was ValentiMe's Day." The girl is a trip.

Anyway, here is a photo walk through her party.










And Dawson never ceases to amaze me. He told me that next year HE wants to do a box. I just laughed at him. I told him that if I would have handed him a box and said, "Here's yours and your Valentines to hand out," that he would have had a COW! When I don't think he would want to participate in something, he does. What's funny is that there aren't any kids his age in our Co-op. There is an 11+ age group, but none as old as him that participate in activities. He just wanted to do it for fun. The younger kids would have LOVED it, and so would the moms. They think he is hilarious. He is. And, as you can see. He loves his baby sister ...


And his mama ...

(**Blurry pic) We made cards for each other at the party. His to me says, "UR Cool I Guess!" and mine to him says "You Make Me Leap for Joy".

  2. Look how big your HS group is? Isn't it amazing how many people homeschool? LOVE IT. Do you know Keilee STILL does the same thing to me if I ever write down someone's name that is spelled 'differently'. She can never read my writing. Hrmphhh!

    Love the pictures of Dawson and Brynne. How totally sweet!

We all know that in this crazy world of homeschooling, we need all the (adult) support we can get. Please leave a comment if you so wish!

Cells ~ It's What's for Dinner

Dawson made edible cells on Friday. He made an animal cell pizza ... and a plant cell chocolate chip cookie ... He reviewed what he's learned about cells the past two weeks, and I had dinner made by someone else. Win, win!! I am linking up at Science Sunday at Adventures in Mommydom.

A New Year, the Same Me

Happy 2019! It is that day of the year where everybody is up extra early starting their new exercise routine, eating only healthy foods, cracking open the pages of a new planner and Bible study, and debuting their Word for the year. You chuckle or roll your eyes, but you are doing at least three of these things. By the way, so am I. So let's start with the Word of the Year. Mine this year is Lagom. It's the Swedish word for "not too little, not too much, just right". It's a concept of being, doing or having just enough. So let's rewind to last New Year's Day. My Word was Might. And that's how I planned to tackle my year. And, I did. I worked out hard, I mommed hard, I traveled hard, I worked hard. And it was a good season. It prepared the way for this year. I accepted the Challenge I set for myself and succeeded. But, I don't need to keep up that pace. I am at a place in my life where I can kind of sit back and enjoy my life without f...
