I am sitting here early with coffee and hair dye in my hair trying to think of how I am going to pull off a My Little Pony birthday cake for Kenzie. I have been all over the internet for pictures of other people's ideas and last night at 10:30 before I went to bed can you guess what I was doing? Anyone? Oh yes, I was combing out the mane and tails of Kenzie's My Little Ponies because when I went to the Dollar Store to see if they had any new ones for this cake......they didn't. So we will make do with the ones that she already has, just put some new spit and polish on the old ones......maybe skip the spit if they are going on the cake. The party is today. The pool is blue and the towels are ready. We are throwing all the children in the pool for the afternoon and then some cake and presents. I have a load of fruit to cut. We went to the flea market yesterday. We are so blessed to be able to just go and get all the fresh fruits and veggies that any person could imagine for less than at WalMart. They are gorgeous, peaches, plums, pears, pineapple. We got them all, grapes, kiwi and the heaviest tomatoes, so ripe and red. They even had some strawberries, I got those too. Kenzie loves fruit, our whole family does. I will put out a big plate of fruit, cheese and crackers and chips with dip for snacking while we wait for the hot dogs to grill. I am so thankful that the party is not like last year. Last year for Kenzie's party we had 27 people! I thought I would die.... we had most of the birth family come to see where the girls were living and see their room and all that. I thought they needed that. To know that the girls were safe and happy. I know I would.
Matthew wants to start a unit on genetics.....does anyone have any ideas on how to teach genetics to a 10 yo? I learned it as a sophmore in high school and loved it, but I am unsure as to how to teach it to him. He is quick, but impatient wanting it to come fast. I got him a book on genetics earlier in the summer but it was for adults and he just didn't get it. Hey, I didn't get some of it....They really don't have alot of books with the specific info he wants, but written in a way that isn't watered down too much. Books for children on genetics are too general and don't have the DNA sequence explanation that he is craving. I am dreading having to make my own text for him, so if anyone out there has any ideas I sure would take any suggestions.....

Thanks for the last post of encouragement. He is improving, alittle. Life is going by in a strange way for me. My grandfather died last sunday, and it's been sad for me the last month. We joined a homeschool group, hopefully it will help. Have a good day. :)

Glad to hear you all are surviving intact! Well, as long as we aren't counting your teeth that is! If he's interested in DNA and Gene's, you might try to find an Usborne books dealer near you, they have a great book with internet link on that subject. I don't own it, but when I glanced at it it seemed very infomative but not strictly adult level (not childish either). If you need help finding a rep, let me know, I have a friend that sells Usborne books and I'll hook you up.

Just wondering and waiting.
