The Sweet Life...

Quick call a plumber!

Posted in kids and babies
After  a night of very little sleep what with a  sick  baby  toddler..5:30 anounced  its presence way too early for  my taste.   But,  alas, Wonder-Beagle  needed to  be let out and fed,  so out of bed I rolled. With me came  Babycakes--newly 2 (as of yesterday) and unbelievably  awake considering the amount of  sleep we both missed.   Giggling the  whole time,  she watched as I fed  Doggie and retrieved the  paper  form the driveway. We made our way back  into the  house.  Her sweet but  LOUD voice accompanying  us  into  the  kitchen.   She sniffed  delightedly as  I measured out the coffee and declared (still very loudly):

"Mmm, I love it!!
That's  my girl!

Then a look of consternation crossed  her face.  I  had  turned on  the  cofee maker and the water  had  started to drip down  into the pot.    With a deep intake of  breath,  she whispered:

"Uh,  oh.  It leakin' "

About Me

Just the simple thoughts on life, children, books, nature, and God (to name a few) of an imperfect Christian momma as she ventures forth in search of the Sweet Life...

Words to Ponder

The morning wind forever blows; the poem of the world is uninterrupted, but few are the ears that hear it. ~Thoreau

The writer studies literature not the world...He is careful what he reads, for that is what he will write. ~Annie Dillard

About our homeschool

First and foremost we strive to instill in our children a deep and abiding love of God and a saving faith in Christ Jesus. And toward that end we use a mixture of the Classical Christian and Charlotte Mason approaches to homeschooling. We place a high level of importance upon reading the bible and good literature, keeping away from twaddle as much as possible! We study Latin and Poetry, Shakespeare and Geography, Writing and Math and Science, too! We try to incorporate Nature Studies as much as time and Babycakes will allow. And we study history in a 4-year cycle, repeating each time period (Ancients, Middle ages/Renaissance & Reformation, Colonial/Early American History, Modern) 3 times over the course of 12 years. We try to allow our children the time to really explore what interests them and time to just be kids.
