Susie-Q&A

• Oct. 13, 2009 - Thought Snippets and Photos in No Particular Order

One of the glories of homeschooling:  you can start whenever you start, and finish when you wanna.  Another:  Convenient excuse for moms who are a little nuts about office supplies. Pre-schooling at the Cox homestead:  Three-year-old snips up bits of leftover card stock (scissors skills), while 22-month-old sucks them up with the vacuum hose (chore training). One corner of my life is officially organized.  See below. Making their own flashcards counts as math, in my book.  I never had to memorize the15's table, and might do well to quiz myself with the cards. Ah, the noble chicken: (Chicken photo by Chicken, a.k.a. Anna Kate.) Our apple tree needs some doctorin', but hubby's got it on the winter Honey-Do list.  It bears spotty apples... ...but they don't taste half-bad stewed with the requisite sugar & spices.  Apples after peeling away the spots... Buds. Buds who are, on occasion, moved to thwack each other with toy tractors...but buds nonetheless.  Compatriots in grime. Ah, the noble turkey... Discreet enough to skedaddle at the slightest noise or movement. (Probably best we settled on the bald eagle for our national emblem.) Ah, the noble stinkbug.   Not. I gather the stinkbug is to Virginia as the mosquito is to Louisiana. (Unofficial State Bird.) Isn't this what Daddy does during his time off? Boy, do these guys love our barn. "Please, sir, I want some more..." A future in broadcasting... Future general...or pirate...we're not yet sure... Goodbye!
