First Day ~ April 2014



How was your April Fool's Day? Did you pull over any good ones on unsuspecting family or friends? I had a little fun with the kids during our school work, but nothing drastic. Here is how we spent our first day of April. Join Nicole at Journey to Josie to share yours.

A little iPad fun before breakfast.

We'll have something with chicken ...

That's what I need, TWO of me to get everything done.

My morning cup 'o "joe" (I miss coffee!)

Texting with the honey.

Can I get on your lap, mom?

Math.

We are having octopus and fish for lunch … April Fools!

The last book in the Lily Lapp series.

Thumbs up on the octopus, mom!

Answer the questions to find out what you will be when you grow up.

A Goldfish Wrangler or a Space Officer? April Fools! Brynne did say she wished she could be a Popcorn Scientist. 

Why can't I figure out this maze? Oh, there is no solution … April Fools!

Packing for our trip to Florida.

Happy 13th birthday, Clifford! We hope you had a restful day!

Heading to the hospital to meet Kyndal in the ER.

Needed some sweet tea  for the road.

We were just here a few months ago for a collapsed lung … is it happening again?

False alarm .. thank goodness!

She is reading a real live book! 

Dawson's soda can pyramid on the landing of the stairs up to his room. It falls down about every day.

Dawson and Taylar hanging out after dinner.

Brynne and I watched an episode on Netflix.

Ahh … some quiet computer time in bed.

Night everybody! See that antacid right there? I haven't had to take any since last Thursday!!!! Yay!

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 ...
