Random 5



1. Eli got some bug bites this week ... one on his neck that he had an allergic reaction to which resulted in an inflamed rash and another under his eye that resembled a spider bite and has been swollen and painful. These resulted in a trip to the doctor and he is on antibiotics.

Day 1 and Day 2

2. Rick installed my new screen door and did some more painting. I love it all!


3. On Wednesday night I took the kids to a nearby fall festival where they got to ride their favorite ride, the Cliffhanger. They call it the Superman ride.


4. I realize that I have certain staples in my pantry and refrigerator these days: spinach, blueberries, eggs, turkey breast, colored mini peppers, mini carrots, peanut butter, honey, greek yogurt, granola, oatmeal, sliced almonds, black beans, and bran cereal. I find myself eating these things most days. Do you have certain things you buy every week and keep in your kitchen for your meals?

5. I am glad this week is over and it is the weekend! We have nothing planned and that is much-needed after this week.

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...

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

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 ...
