Sleeping Beauties

Tuesday, April 6th, 2010

All tuckered out.  Being on holiday is fun, but also tiring, espesially when you’re a little person whose afternoon naptime has been trumped by a trip to the Science Museum.  Thankfully third, fourth and fifth borns learn to roll with the punches.  :-)

Drawing Lessons For Phoebe

IMG_5496 (Custom)Phoebe drew her first successful face today under Elijah’s tutalage.  Elijah was a proud teacher and Phoebe a proud student…and I was a proud mother.  :-)

Friday Morning Silliness

IMG_5388 (Custom)(These aren’t just any pom-poms, by the way, these are 100% authentic Vikings cheerleader pom-poms.  The lady that coaches the Vikings’ Cheerleaders actually goes to our church.)

Noah didn’t have school this morning and he and Phoebe were in rare form, in search of every possible way to make their two studious siblings laugh.  Silly, silly, silly those two are together.  I finally had to banish them to Phoebe’s room to restore order to the school room.  :-)

P.S.  And yes, they are still in their PJs.  Phoebe wore hers all day today.  Noah got dressed just before supper so that he could run some errands with daddy.

A-dic-a-lous!

IMG_5360 (Custom)Phoebe’s newest word:  ridiculous.  Translated into toddler-speak:  a-dic-a-lous. 

“That’s just a-dic-a-lous!”  says she with her hands on her hips and a furrowed brow.  Usually when she’s upset with here brothers. 

He he.  She tries so hard to boss them.  Cracks me up.

Rockin’ Around The Christmas Tree…

Tuesday, December 22nd, 2009

Yay!  Christmas vacation is here!  I’m very happy to report that the boys are way ahead in their school work and we’re able to have some extra Christmas vacation days off.  Hooray for homeschooling and  working at your own pace!  :-)  

I’m not happy to report that I couldn’t get my act together enough to get a Christmas card made and sent out this year.  That’s been the biggest challenge so far in this homeschooling endeavour:  finding time in my day to get all of my housekeeping done that gets neglected when I’m “Teacher Mom.”  Oh yeah…and I have a newborn too.  Sometimes those little creatures interfere with housekeeping too.

Here, though, are some photo’s of the girls for your viewing pleasure… (photo’s of the boys coming soon)
