Finally I get to see Phantom of the Opera
7 May
Sqeel!! This is only the night I’ve dreamed of since I was 14. 🤩🤩🤩🤩
The tickets were a present from the Resident Captain!
Let’s Play!
2 May
I had heard about Herve Tullet and was super excited to find his books at our library. These delighted my children ages 3-10 (and I enjoyed reading them as well.)
Snow Globe Cities
25 Apr
Finally finishing our snow globe project. It got forgotten while I worried about lesser things like spelling and science 🧬😬I can’t even handle how awesome this project is turning out to be. #homeschoolrocks #artclass #watercolor
I do not know how she gets so many projects done with so many kids. I guess that bell forces them to finish.
The next day…
Lacking glitter for the snow, I was going to use sugar. The girls voted to use salt. So that’s what we did. Something odd happened. The salt pulled water out of our paintings. Perhaps the water came from the Elmer’s glue?
My friend who is a NASA scientist suggested:
It could be deliquescence–the salt pulling sufficient moisture from the air to create a brine solution. (One of my friends is studying the process on Mars.) https://www.britannica.com/science/deliquescence
So we got to learn about that, too.
Celebrating!
18 Apr
Celebrating big. Daddy has a new job (that doesn’t require us to move), and Sarcoxi High School has a new ace English teacher.
Side note: turns out we can take 9 children to a restaurant to eat and have an enjoyable time.
One Thousand Million
16 Apr
Zeke: There’s something wrong with my fum.
Me: your thumb?
Zeke: yes, my fum.
Me (feeling generous with my time):
Do you want me to kiss it? I’ll kiss it 5 times.
Zeke: No, you have to kiss it one thousand million times.
George Washington Carver National Monument
14 Mar
Every time I visit George Washington Carver National Monument, I’m so inspired. He was willing to work so hard to help others. The Art in the Park homeschool day was so fun for my children. We each learned something new today.
