Thursday, September 2nd, 2010Yesterday Miss Daisy and I were talking and I wanted to do something for her. Together we thought on it and decided to go to the monkey zoo. It’s a small zoo with 50 monkeys and with Daisy being our Monkey-girl, I knew she’d want to go. The three of us had a lovely time […]
link for lapbook
Tuesday, August 31st, 2010Someone came here twice today with a search of “Wrinkle in Time Lapbook.” So in case that person makes it back, here’s where I got it. Live and Learn Press. My oldest really enjoys it and I would definitely use their products again.
here’s a little story
Tuesday, August 31st, 2010Once upon a time there was a day where everything went wrong. A day where a sigalert was issued in both directions of the same freeway. A day that resulted in having to call no less than 5 shoe stores because a certain princess had to have a certain color of ballet shoes and she […]
good stuff
Monday, August 30th, 2010Me: You are wonderful little freaks.
T: Hey! I’m insulted!
D: Yeah. I’m in-salted in salt water too!
We had lunch with my mom today and aside from the pleasant visit and the bizarrely affectionate kids (to each other), it was a really tasty veggie burger.
Daisy started her new dance schedule today and her first class includes one […]
last minute
Saturday, August 28th, 2010Yesterday had two rash decisions for me. We hadn’t planned on going to park because Tues/Wed/Thurs the temps were flirting with 100° and I was sure it was be the same on Friday. So I planned for the girls and I to just get some extra stuff done in lessons. But then I woke up […]
night life
Thursday, August 26th, 2010The days may be blistering hot, but oh how lovely the evening is. I spread a blanket on the patio on the backyard and pulled out a couple chairs for Daisy and I. We’ve listened to all the night sounds- crickets, the coo of a nearby dove, chirps of various other birds- and admired the […]
new table = fun
Wednesday, August 25th, 2010Last night I purchased a folding table because the girls can’t do lessons in the same space. They both have projects that need to be spread out and I don’t like to keep the dining table at its full size because that’s just too big. So a folding table in the living room that could […]
abridged
Tuesday, August 24th, 2010This afternoon we did Tabitha’s bridging ceremony to signify her going from Juniors into Cadettes. She planned the whole thing herself and included all of us wearing silly hats, trumpet blowing and confetti pelting provided by Daisy, and a speech by Tabitha. It was short but sweet and thoroughly her. I also presented her with […]
long day, but in a good way
Monday, August 23rd, 2010To sum up the day- we worked on lessons.
Tabitha went straight to her California history notebook again. This time I did ask her to stop after an hour and a half so we cold get other things done as well. She then moved onto her “A Wrinkle in Time” lapbook and spent quite a long […]
everything
Sunday, August 22nd, 2010Even if the past week is complete old news, I’m still going to type it up. If nothing else, my blog posts help me with my scrapbooking in terms of knowing what the pictures are from specifically. Not to mention, sometimes I enjoy reading my old posts and seeing what we were up to.
So, last […]
best laid plans
Wednesday, August 18th, 2010I was supposed to be doing this while sitting at a play area. I was going to have 3 hours to kill. But Daisy decided she wanted to come home and play a computer game instead. Since I was home I took care of some necessary to-do items some of which were being done on […]
It’s not you
Tuesday, August 17th, 2010It’s not that I’m ignoring blogging, I’ve just had zero time in the last however many days. Though I could theoretically do it right now, I’m in the middle of a movie and tomorrow I’ll have this nice chunk of time where blogging will be ideal and watching a movie will not.
So until then, I […]
Come and knock on our door
Saturday, August 14th, 2010Date night last night! Woo-hoo! We all ate dinner at Applebees and then Chris and I dropped the kids off with his parents. Then it was out for a night of puppets.
That’s right, I said puppets.
Not just any puppets, no no. Sock puppets. And do you know what these sock puppets were doing? They re-enacted […]
tiny letters
Thursday, August 12th, 2010My font is much smaller on my netbook. At first I simply wondered why I was seeing more of pages than I used to. Then I realized I hate to squint to read comments on Facebook. I don’t think it’s my eyesight, so somehow I need to figure out how to adjust this and how […]
where’d the time go?
Sunday, August 8th, 2010Well that was an unscheduled break from blogging. Not sure what happened there. Nothing of note really went on during the week but we had a pretty good weekend.
Saturday Tabitha got to go see a sneak preview of Camp Rock 2 which made her very happy. It’s not even going to be on TV until […]
five and a half
Wednesday, August 4th, 2010A few days ago I told Daisy her half birthday was coming up. She really took that to heart and basically planned a mini-party. So today included a trip to her favorite park, plus we made party hats, we drew pictures of crazy cactuses/cacti, we threw confetti in the air (and apparently down my shirt), […]
go me
Tuesday, August 3rd, 2010Lessons, housework, a playdate, and I couldn’t dinner. Woo-hoo!
Tomorrow I attempt to add in yoga.
I want my mummy
Monday, August 2nd, 2010Sunday morning the girls and I headed out to the science center to see the mummies exhibit. Chris was supposed to come too, but sadly was still feeling poorly. Since I had already bought tickets and they were non-refundable and couldn’t be exchanged, we had to make the decision to go without him.
But we […]
Saturday fail
Saturday, July 31st, 2010Last night we went to see the musical that Tabitha’s day camp was performing in. Her class was more involved this year with more dancing and reacting to what was happening on the stage. She had a great time at her camp, as she always does, and declared it the best one yet. The kids […]
weekend update on wednesday
Wednesday, July 28th, 2010Tabitha is in a day camp this week and today I thought rather than go home, Daisy and I would spend the time going to a couple parks. Just to be sure we’d have enough to do, I also found a nearby McDs with an indoor play area. Daisy chose the big park to go […]
CKs
Monday, July 26th, 2010My crazy kids are hooping it up in the front yard oblivious to the cold. I actually went inside to put on sweats and my slippers and am only abstaining from the sweatshirt on principle, what with it being July and all. I came out so Daisy could play in an area that isn’t visible […]
safe and sound
Saturday, July 24th, 2010Tabitha came home completely exhausted but full of happiness for the wonderful time she had. She ate wonderfully and only had PB&J one day and wasn’t cold at night at all. So next year I can cut my worrying in half because it won’t be the unknown. She wrote in her journal everyday during […]
mid-week
Thursday, July 22nd, 2010I went to my book club meeting this morning- I had a good time! I personally ran out of steam after about an hour, but I think that’s just because I’m not used to discussing books and there were distractions of keeping an eye on the kids at the same time. I’m looking forward to […]
like a missing limb
Wednesday, July 21st, 2010We sent Tabitha off to camp yesterday.
I’m practically hyperventilating just typing that sentence! I actually was fine saying good-bye and didn’t cry or embarass her, but as we were driving away I just felt so weird. I thought I’d be fine because she goes on outings and sleepovers without me but I guess since I […]
I’m just resting my eyes
Sunday, July 18th, 2010I’m typing this up while lounging in bed because I’m seriously contemplating going to sleep now. I have a book that I may read but that’ll put me out very quickly. It’s “To Kill a Mockingbird” as I’m joining some other parents from our park group in a discussion this week. Thankfully the reminder was […]
la playa
Wednesday, July 14th, 2010We hit the beach with a group of our homeschool park group friends. Good times. I actually went in the water and probably spent more time in the water than the previous 2 years combined. Admittedly, only up to my hips.
And that’s it because the only other thing of note today was I took a […]
Sewing Webpage
Tuesday, July 13th, 2010I finally finished my sewing webpage! Well, in all honesty, it’s missing a picture I cannot find and 2 others need to be replaced with larger versions. But it’s fine for now and I’d rather get it up sooner, rather than later. It has pictures and descriptions of everything I’ve sewn since I started sewing […]
Disneyland today
Sunday, July 11th, 2010Long day.
Lots of fun.
Dead tired.
End of post.
stats
Saturday, July 10th, 2010Not that I super care about how many hits a day I get since I’m fairly low, but it is sad to see the average go down. Oh well, my worth is not measured by hits, lol.
First thing this morning we headed out to a mall to do a meet and greet with Phineas and […]
late night
Friday, July 9th, 2010Chris left an hour an a half ago to pick Tabi up from an event this evening only to find out it had been delayed an hour. I’m not happy about how late she’ll be getting to bed. I’m drinking some caffeine so Chris and I can spend some more time together this evening before […]
I also choose Miami
Thursday, July 8th, 2010Because I’m pretty sure they have some damn sun shining.
The kids did most of the work for dinner tonight so that was nice for me. I supervised, more with the little than the big, but I didn’t have to step in and do anything. I even let Daisy cut the tofu, I figure the soft […]
