Beach Day

So if I'm going to embrace this homeschooling thing (all two days a week I do it) then I'm going to embrace all the perks that go along with it. Today was a perk.

It was HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT today. I have dubbed this fall, "The Summer that Never Was". (Feel free to call it that amongst your friends.) It was over 100 degrees, and for my three German friends who may, or may not read my blog, that means it was HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT. Hot.

So we went to the beach.

Because you can do that when you homeschool.

There is lot's of learning to be done at the beach.




Or none.



Addison taught the "Safety First" lesson, insisting on wearing her vest - though she hardly goes in the water above her ankles due to her "wave allergy", her words, not mine. She's a serious student, no?







One funny thing, (that might be only funny to me and my mom), about our beach trip, excuse me, field trip, was snack time. My mom and I pulled out our snack bags and discovered that we packed pretty much identical snacks. String cheese, something peanut buttery and sliced apples - red and green. Oh mom, we are so funny sometimes. :-) Thanks for coming with us! Every field trip needs a chaperone, right?

Yay for homeschool days!

Excellent, a field trip chaperone! Perfect chance for gramma to spend time with the school kids!

I swear if peanut butter didn't exist, I don't know what my kids would eat. :) I will brag a bit and say that we actually didn't have near the heat wave out here in the desert...go figure!

Crafty Me

I'm pretty excited because I'm not crafty, at all, but when I saw this idea on my new favorite crafty blog I got all giddy because I thought, "I can do that!" and so I did. And since my kids ARE crafty, go figure, I had all the stuff to make them on hand - yippee! All I had to do was buy the goodies that make the wings, which only cost me a dollar (thank you Dollar Tree!). I put them in the kid's little Easter buckets. I hope they like them as much I do. :-)

In a Nut Shell...

Saturday afternoon, 2pm, got home from Costco and thought I might be going into labor. Troy woke up from his nap at 3:30, sensed what was going on and was not too happy about it at all. Thinking it was pretty early, but not want wanting to take any chances, we left for the hospital a bit before 4 o'clock Yep, too early. Walked the halls for an hour which produced more of these... Which felt like this... And at 8:42pm they led to this... We are so thrilled to add a precious baby girl to our family We love you Mia Joy! (7lbs 2oz, 18.5" long)

I know that people come from good places and the intentions behind their comments are never bad, and sometimes they're actually funny, but sometimes I just want to say, um, really? Is that the BEST thing you can think of to say? Here are some of my faves from last week... "I'm going to un-friend you on facebook because you do not look like you just had a baby a week ago." - sorry? "What's her name? ... Oh I know SO MANY Mia's. Like, SO many." - great. "Are you guys finished yet? Is there some literature out there I can get for you (to teach you about prevention)?" (This one is my favorite) - "I'm the oldest of three and I am SO glad my parent's didn't have a fourth." - um... okay. This is the one I hear from almost everyone, it's not necessarily a bad thing to say, I just get it A LOT, "Two boys and two girls? Oh, the perfect family." Does that mean before Mia we had an imperfect family? I also hear endle
