No Sorta’ Weekly Report Here

September 28, 2007

I think I might… maybe, sorta, kinda… be a Weekly Report Dropout. Not exactly a total dropout, but at least until my reinforcement arrives and I’m not in a peak season at work, I’m going to have to do Every-other-Week-ly Reports. Now, I’m picturing a 50’s diner-café movie scene with me in a [...]

Break Down of "Super Mom"

September 26, 2007

You all know her – a SuperMom. She’s the one with the well-mannered children who are both polite and do well in school. She balances work, chores, charity, faith, family time and spouse time seemingly flawlessly. Her laundry is done, her bed is made, and her children’s closets only contain clothes that [...]

Weekly Report 10-11

September 22, 2007

Finally! My weekly report. As a reward for your patience I uploaded *lots* of pictures.
These last two weeks have been definite lessons in schooling during distraction. We had every possible interruption, noise, distraction, anti-learning atmosphere imaginable – yet we still managed to get a fair amount done. Admittedly, these past 10 [...]

Celebrating Picasso

September 20, 2007

Six years ago, our nation was still reeling. Images of lost Americans, plane hijackers, airport security images, speculations of conspiracy… and lots and lots of raw emotion flooded the TV, radio, newspaper and internet.
The world wondered how such a thing could happen? Americans felt a new kind of familiarity to terror and loss [...]

Coooooool Running Errands – We Met an Olympian!

September 14, 2007

I had a class at the Apple store tonight. Apparently, the iphone is so smart you need a class to use it. Anyway, while there we stopped by B&N and who was there?! We got to meet former 3x Winter Olympian and now author of a children’s book, Devon [...]

I’m Just "Mom"

September 12, 2007

I think sometimes we move from one chapter in our lives into another often without being fully cognizant of it. I stood at our kitchen island today, sipping my hot coffee and looking at my boybarians and it dawned on me – I am not the mom of babies anymore. I have not [...]

I heart Free Stuff!

September 9, 2007

If you love free stuff as much as I do and you have an iPod or an iPhone, I have recently discovered a whole slew of fantastic FREE resources. iTunes has added a new section called iTunes U which allows Academic Institutions to post professors’ lectures, guest lecturers, audio files, etc. And the [...]

Weekly Report – Week 9

September 8, 2007

This was the first week implementing a new Language Arts plan. I am just beaming with excitement over both the quantity and quality of the writing Einstein and Picasso did this week. Compared to their usual reluctance to write anything, this week was a huge success, so many of the pictures focus on [...]

Cat’s Out of the Bag

September 6, 2007

Thanks to a certain “anonymous” commenter (who happens to love me!), the beans are spilled. Today was my birthday.
We spent the day doing things we usually don’t. The boybarians, who don’t have TV privileges during the week, turned into TV zombies gobbling up as much Cyberchase and Star Wars as possible. I [...]

Makeover Contest Results!

September 5, 2007

Here they are, the highly sought after (humor me!) Before & After pics of Jenny’s blog makeover. If you remember, Jenny won the first ever LWM3B contest. Jenny’s first blog had such cute little people, fun stories of her family and kids’ work. But it had a generic Blogger header and needed [...]

Oh, Give me a Home…

September 3, 2007

Apparently those who celebrate a ‘Day of Rest’ on this holiday don’t have three small children.

To celebrate the holiday weekend anyway, the boys requested a trip to see some of the wild animals at a park near our home. We saw elk and buffalo (bison? anyone know the difference?). [...]
