Life is Art

Aahhh.... President's 4 Day weekend

So... recess consists of burying your baby brother in the sand. Let see what subject we can fit this into. Well digging is hard work so P.E., Art I suppose was in there somewhere, Critical Thinking, and definately the study of human behavior! Just so you don't think this is what the homeschool curriculum is made of, Sarah does so ACTUAL school work, I promise!

Hannah has been hard at work riding her bike around...... it took her all of 20 minutes from tricycle to two-wheeler!

So, did you catch a glimps of the red van in the background?!! Thaaar she is, our new van. 1997 Pontiac Transport with all new guts. Plus, I can control the music from the steering wheel! It's SSOOOO cool, we LOVE to drive around in it. Mana from heaven.

Well, art class is going well..... Being on this side of OCD, I admit I must keep myself very busy during art time and repeat quietly to myself "it's washable paint, it's washable paint, it's washable paint". Sad but true.

Is January almost over?!

Ok, ok I know it's been awhile. Here's my reasons: 1) My computer crashed and I'm using Sarah's homeschooling computer 2) I'm homeschooling Sarah 3) Did I mention I'm homeschooling Sarah?


Yes, we did it finally. I've wanted to for a long time now, and desire coupled with scary 4/5 grade girl "hate clubs" stuff going on at their school we made the switch. I was scared it was going to be really hard having her home all the time, but actually it's really great! She's a great kid and I like having her around. I've been told she might suffer socially, but honestly the less social habits she learns from the "real world" the better she'll turn out, I say. Plus, I consider myself to be an outgoing person, so don't even try it with me, any possible naysayers!


We are very excited becasue we are getting a van at the end of the week. Being poor and having lots of kids gives me a financial edge when it comes to taxes! Thank you Uncle Sam. I'll be sure to post a picture of it when we get it.


Wedding plans are slow but steady........ I'M GETTING MARRIED!!! YAHOO........ More info as it becomes available.........

My Christmas...

I took no pictures of the whole even because Zander got a camcorder as one of his presents and he filmed the whole thing. Hey, I only have two hands... I did however recieve exactly what I was hoping for! I love my ring, and the man that comes with it. David is everything I ever prayed for. He even matches the hair color and no one will ever be the wiser!

What a great ending to an eventful year! I suppose now I must bring the camera everywhere I go. Not a bad thing. I will get more pictures posted and keep the events updated. Now that I'm a stay-at-homer again, I think I can fit it in! I'm sure we can fit blogging into Sarah's homeschool curriculum somewhere! And yes, I am crazy!

Learning curve..

I'm not sure how to do this thing, but I'll learn just hang in there and keep thinking that my life might be interesting!

UNCLE!!!

Ok, I give up, I'll get a blog. Sheesh, I feel like a sheep.
