     Buddy lost his first tooth the other day.  It took everyone by surprise, even him.  I knew the day was coming, but figured that since my kids have tended to be late getting their teeth that they would also lose them late.  It happened rather suddenly; no gradual loosening.  He just walked out to … Continue reading »

Traveling with small children is always a challenge and we’ve certainly done a lot of it.  Most of the time things go fairly smoothly and we get to and from our destination without any major mishaps.  Occasionally though we have a trip where everything seems to be going wrong and the temptation is strong to … Continue reading »

      Homeschooling is going better than I hoped.  I wasn’t sure when we started how it would all turn out and like most beginners I was a bit nervous.  Would Buddy adjust well to a more intentional school time?  Would he accept me as his teacher?  How would the girls handle school time?  We had … Continue reading »

FOR TODAY November 17, 2008… Outside My Window…it is dark.  The sun definitely sets earlier now.  We got our first snow the other day and there are still hints of it in the shadows. I am thinking… that somehow despite not feeling like doing anything I seem to actually be accomplishing quite a bit today.  … Continue reading »

Like so many others, life seems to be coming at me faster than I can keep up with and blogging ends up taking a back seat to everything else.  I wanted to at least do the Simple Woman’s Daybook each week, but my computer has been giving me fits about it.  I did come across … Continue reading »

FOR TODAY October 20, 2008… Outside My Window…it is cloudy and a little bit foggy.  They say we might get snow tomorrow. I am thinking…about going to the homeschool activity at the library this afternoon.  The library’s website says it is ‘open to all homeschoolers’ and geared toward 5-10 year olds.  Supposedly we’ll read a … Continue reading »

Tonight we will finish celebrating by watching one of the … Continue reading »

FOR TODAY October 13, 2008… Outside My Window…blue skies and sunshine.  Yes, I’m actually writing this during the day.  The temperature dropped this weekend and it actually feels like winter is on its way now. I am thinking…about my plans for tomorrow.  We have storytime at the library in the morning and in the afternoon … Continue reading »

FOR TODAY October 6, 2008… Outside My Window…the sun has set, but there is still a hint of pink on the horizon.  It’s been fairly windy lately; it’s fall after all. I am thinking…I could really use a bread knife.  I made bread and then realized I didn’t have a knife to cut it with.  … Continue reading »

Buddy is doing so well with his reading.  He can pretty much read any of the Hooked on Phonics Kindergarten readers now.  He’s even feeling confident enough to read to Daddy now.  I’m still having him read me one story each day in ‘school’ though, because he’s not reading them as easily as I would … Continue reading »
