First Day ~ February

By

I recall that our First Day of February looked much like our First Day of January. We woke up yesterday morning to roads covered in ice. So we snuggled down in the living room for a day of t.v. and video games. It was freezing cold outside. I am afraid the following pictures aren't going to be too exciting. But, they do depict exactly what we did on February 1st.

We decided that since we are going to be stuck inside for the next several days that we ought to start a new Netflix series. So, we watched the first 9 episodes of the first season of Revenge. It's pretty darned good!

Twizzlers!

What the roads looked like when we got up yesterday morning.

We have downed branches that we will have to clean up in a couple of days.

Trying to stay warm!

Brynne spent the entire day on the top bunk playing a video game ...

… while Eli hung out on the bottom bunk playing with the iPad, with toys, and reading his Lego book.

He did sneak in some Wii playtime while we were fixing dinner and not on the big t.v. watching Revenge.

That darned Flappy Bird has my kids screaming and yelling and wanting to throw their phones!

A break from electronics for some chicken tetrazzini.

Quincy couldn't pull himself away from the computer, though.

By the end of the night the snow was coming down. Looks like more Revenge today!

    This looks like a fun post to do every month. I may just have to join you. Stay warm and safe. That picture of the road just looks plain dangerous.

    We missed that storm some how. Your road looks so dangerous!! I guess we are supposed to have ice and snow on Monday. Hope it misses you guys! I'm going to use the time stuck indoors to plan my garden and chicken coop!

    In the beginning I only watched it because my shares the same name as the main character, but now it's one of our faves! When the show came out we had to make her twitter private (which is best anyway) because so many Revenge pages tried to follow her.

    Seems like Flappy Bird has taken over the whole country. That game is currently driving Grace crazy. I love Revenge. I watched the first two season in like two weeks on Netflix and caught up for the new season.

A New Year, the Same Me

By
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...

Science Sunday ~ Hmmm ... Let Me Think About It!

By
This week in our study of the Human Body , Brynne moved on to the Nervous System . Our first stop was a Pamela Hill Nettleton book called, Think, Think, Think: Learning About Your Brain . As part of our discussions about the brain , and the fact that it's the BOSS of the body, we discussed the importance of the spinal cord . We did a hands on spinal cord project by alternating gummy Life Savers and wagon wheel pasta on a pipe cleaner. We talked about why there was the "squishy" stuff in between the vertebra and how the back can bend and sway because of it. We completed "The Brynne" by adding the stomach, small intestine and large intestine, from our study last week of the Digestive System (although I just realized I have the large intestine coming out of the stomach, when the small intestine should be) and the brain and spinal cord. We are now done talking about the parts of the body and will conclude our study of the Human Body with a two-day unit ...
