Family’s gone, the house is quiet, and… we’re taking the day off from school. I couldn’t bring myself to start again. Sad, I know. Tomorrow’s co-op though, and my OB appointment is bright and early at 8am, so we’re back to real life like it or not. Baby Ocho’s car seat arrived today. I know […]
Rain, Fires, and a House Full of Family
The neighbors across the road from us lost their garage in a fire this week. From the time we heard sirens, saw the fire, to it having burned completely with many explosions, and dying back down was 5 minutes. Literally… I took photos and checked time stamps. It’s sobering how fast that happened. It puts […]
32.
I turned 32 today. Very strange. The years speed up the older I get. The day began with a trip to the OB for my 30 week appointment, where I was told the “new” OB I’d seen for the first time last month, the OB I was thrilled with and had scheduled out all my […]
Bears, Rocks, and Droopy Drawers
“What is going on with your pants, Pierce?” “I have a rock in my pocket.” Okay… Fine? We finished our shopping trip. We headed through the parking lot, but as soon as I required his hand be in mine, it became obvious something bigger was going on. I told him to take his rock out, so […]
Panic.
We came home from SD with our trailer full of furniture from my grandparents. We came with three dressers, an old awesome chest, a big book shelf. My dad made me a pan rack for my birthday, so that came too. It’s everywhere. Every person except Liberty and Ellie got a new dresser. Charlotte and […]
TOS Review: Ann McCallum Books
It’s my last TOS review for 2015! It’s been a fun year, and we’ve had a great time trying out curriculum – some we’d never heard of before, some we knew and loved, and some new ones have become favorites. For this last review, I received a paperback copy of Rabbits Rabbits Everywhere: A Fibonacci Tale written […]
TOS Review: Brinkman Adventures
We’re finishing up the review crew year with the Old Schoolhouse Magazine’s Review Crew, and one of my last reviews has been my kids favorite review all year. We received from Brinkman Adventures the audio drama The Brinkman Adventures: Season 3. With four CDs containing 12 stories, my kids have declared them to be the best thing […]
SD, sickie style.
After a week’s delay and a trip to the mechanic to make the giant van road worthy, we’re in South Dakota this week instead of last. Since we started a minor stomach bug late last week, I thought it was a good thing to have waited. I spent a portion of the evening on the […]
Baby Ocho: 28 weeks
I had Liberty take a photo of me with my baby belly earlier this week. It’s… large. Getting larger. Things are starting to get achy. 2½ months left. Soon. I keep telling myself it’ll be soon.
TOS Review: Maestro Classics
I’ve reviewed Maestro Classics a few times on the Review Crew, but when it came up again as a possibility, I didn’t hesitate. Stories on CD (and tape… yes, we still have those! The tape player is getting finicky lately though, so thankfully, Maestro Classics is more with the times and offers CDs…) are pretty […]
