Sep. 28, 2007 - What I Will Be Doing Today
 See what happens when I try to organize. I make a bigger mess! (This is our schoolroom by the way.) I started working in here the other day trying to come up with something that would make schooling easier. Apparently, things did not go as planned. I am the worlds worst when it comes to stuff like this. I was sitting in here this morning,trying to figure out what in the world I was going to do, but my mind is blank! I don’t even know where to start! So, here I sit at the computer blogging about it when I should be cleaning it. One of the last things David said to me this morning was ~ Schoolroom! I’m just glad that today was a scheduled teacher workday. I just wish I could spend it doing something other than this.
Update~ I went in for my MRI this morning only for it to be rescheduled for this afternoon. Our insurance company has to approve it before I can have it. I don’t know why they did not think to do this yesterday!

Sep. 19, 2007 - Ramblings on Wednesday
For weeks now Emily & Audrey have been on the countdown to fall. They have their calendars marked and everyday they come and tell me how many more days. I don’t know what they think will happen on the first day of fall but they sure are excited!
We are finally having some cooler weather around here and it has really been nice. Although, I have found myself complaining that it is too cold! Too cold ~ Too Hot, never happy are we! The cooler weather means that I get to go out and do some shopping ~fun! I am in definite need of some fall/winter clothes. I had to run into Target the other day and they have some adorable little outfits! I just love this little sweater! 
In other news, my brother and his sweet wife Crystal had their baby girl on Monday. We are so excited to have this new addition to our family! Babies are the sweetest little things and I just cannot hug and kiss on ‘em enough. I’ll try to get a picture up of her soon. The batteries in my camera died before I could get a good shot of her.
Dora, Boots ~ Dora, Boots! Seems like that is all we hear these days. Sarah absolutely loves her. We had Monsters Inc. in the other day and Sarah thinks that Boo is Dora when Dora was a baby! She’ll bring you the movie and say, watch baby Dora ~ too cute! Well, looks like we will be buying a new Dora dvd! Emily was going to put it in for Sarah, and they dropped it in the process so now it is broken! Sarah is now watching the next best thing THE WIGGLES! I think I have every Wiggle song stuck in my head and no matter how hard I try to get them out I can’t!! We have one of the tapes in the van and Sarah will ask you to push in the tape PaWeaz! Followed by Turn UP! And a great big Tank You (Daddy/Mommy)

Sep. 10, 2007 - In Christ Alone
In Christ alone my hope is found
He is my light, my strength, my song
This Cornerstone, this solid ground
Firm through the fiercest drought and storm
What heights of love, what depths of peace
When fears are stilled, when strivings cease
My Comforter, my All in All
Here in the love of Christ I stand
In christ alone, who took on flesh
Fullness of God in helpless babe
This gift of love and righteousness
Scorned by the ones He came to save
Till on that cross as Jesus died
The wrath of God was satisfied
For every sin on Him was laid
Here in the death of Christ I live
There in the ground His body lay
Light of the world by darkness slain
Then bursting forth in glorious day
Up from the grave He rose again
And as He stands in victory
Sin’s curse has lost its grip on me
For I am His and He is mine
Bought with the precious blood of Christ
No guilt in life, no fear in death
This is the power of Christ in me
From life’s first cry to final breath
Jesus commands my destiny
No power of Hell, no scheme of man
Can ever pluck me from His hand
Till He returns or calls me home
Here in the power of Christ I’ll stand
Sung by Adrienne Liesching & Geoff Moore (scroll down to see playlist)

Emily - Well, ask somebody that works there
Me - I asked somebody that works there last time
Emily - Who did you ask?
Me - I don't know it was some lady
Emily - Well, ask a man today, they know everything!

Aug. 28, 2007 - 13 Down 167 To Go
So far school has been going really well this year. We are still trying to figure out what works and what does not. Emily really enjoys doing most of her work on the computer. It was a struggle at first for her to get the hang of it, but each day we are making progress. We will be spending more time on History, Science and Bible because I will be adding to the lessons. Audrey is doing really well too. She is so excited about being in the second grade.
Trying to occupy a toddler and teach school has been the most difficult for me. It seems that she only wants my attention when I am doing something. If Emily & Audrey are doing seat work and I go to play with Sarah, she tells me to go away. I am finding out that Emily & Audrey are a little like that too. As soon as I sit down to help one of them, here comes the other one. Oh, there is just not enough mommy to go around.
The other day I purchased the Prairie Primer off an email loop I am on. I am so excited about starting this and hope that we are able to start in January. I have not read over many of the lessons because I have been busy preparing for our upcoming weeks. I did manage to read the part where we will need a pig’s bladder! Oh, my! This will definitely be a daddy project.

Aug. 25, 2007 - Insomnia Strikes Again!
Insomnia Strikes Again!
Ahhhh! I hate it when that happens!
I was tempted to fix up my template again but I decided to catch up on some blog reading instead. I even found a couple of new ones to add to my bloglines!
Oh, I also figured out that I could read all of my HSB friend’s blogs, off of my blog, again. I did not realize that you could still do it, you just have to do it a different way. You type in http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/yourusernamehere/friends/
I love this feature because most times bloglines will not show you all the pictures. And if I want to comment all I have to do is click on the comment button and it takes me straight to the comment section on their blog. So I will most definitely be updating my friends list in the next couple of days.

Aug. 14, 2007 -
I made a new valance! That seems to be the only thing I can make without any problems. I picked this material up the other day and wanted to add it to our kitchen. I started out with this project, and next I wanted to take the doors off of the bottom two cabinets under the sink, and put it there as sort of a door. (I’m sure you have seen this done, I just don’t know what it is called) BUT we can not find the right size tension rods. I am trying to come up with another plan and need your help! Do you have any ideas of what we could use instead?

Aug. 14, 2007 - High School Musical
Emily and Audrey are counting down the days (4 more) until High School Musical 2 is shown on the Disney channel ~ Friday night we are going to David’s bother’s house to watch it with my niece. They have watched the first one so many times the past couple of days the songs are stuck in my head! Now I have them on my blog! Emily and Audrey were in here with me this morning while I was setting up a playlist, and we thought it would be fun to add them too!

Aug. 9, 2007 - It's HOT!!!!!
We are having record breaking temperatures around these parts. Yesterday, the high was 100 degrees and today it is supposed to be 101 with a heat index of 105 ~ Normally on days like this we would just hang out around the house but we have NO air. Our air conditioner went out Tuesday night and it will not be fixed until Friday, possibly Saturday. Today we are going to hang out at my sister’s house and tonight we will be staying with David’s brother. Tomorrow we are going to spend most of the day with my sister-in-law. We might even head out to the pool!

For Audrey’s birthday this year we went to a local putt-putt park. (They also have bumper boats and go-karts.)
The birthday girl!

(Audrey was not tall enough so she took a ride with daddy on the big ones)
The bumper boats.
I don't know if you can tell in this picture but Sarah is NOT happy.

Aug. 2, 2007 - Hard Water?
We have a terrible time here with hard water. No amount of chemical or scrubbing has been able to get rid of water rings and stains. Until Now!! Last night David came home with a scouring stick that a co-worker told him about. It is awesome! I worked on my toilet last night and for the most part the water ring is gone. I did not take the time to complete it because a little one was standing by me saying, my turn, over and over. I highly recommend this product to anyone that has water stains or rust stains.

Jul. 31, 2007 - Fishing
David and the girls decided to go fishing this past weekend with some of the youth from church. The funny thing is ~ David ~ my sweetie ~ was making fun of their fishing poles. In fact, I do believe he said they were not real fishing poles and that you couldn’t catch anything with them. Yes, they are pink and yes, they are even the Barbie fishing poles. I told him that they were in fact fishing poles and that they have caught many a fish with them at the lake. You have to understand that I am NEVER right about anything around here. I always get it wrong and on the off chance that I do get something right, I tend take great pleasure in it ~ so here are the pictures to prove that I was right
Emily & Audrey fishing
Emily's fish
Audrey's fish
Close up of Audrey's fish
Emily and Audrey had a blast! I think it was because I was not there. (how sad is that) We normally go fishing while David is at work with my dad and nephew. We, okay, I always make them put the worms on and take the fish off, even though the girls want to do it. So Saturday they got to play with all kinds of creepy crawly things

Jul. 30, 2007 - Sew Easy?
Don’t think SEW! Before we went on vacation I started working on a pocketbook. I thought the pattern would be easy to follow since it was for beginners. No such luck! If I may say so myself, I did a good job getting it cut out and the interfacing ironed on. But once it came time to sew it together, I was lost. I ruined it before getting the first two pieces sewn together. I think I have enough material to cut out two new pieces but I don’t know if I will bother doing that or not. I have seen a couple of websites that give easy projects with a step by step video or pictures. I think I will start there, just have to find them again.
 But for the meantime, I am working on another project. While we were shopping at the beach I saw these CUTE little crayon keepers. I think I remember them being $14.99.
 They looked so easy to make so I thought I would try one out of some left over material. (I am only making one row on mine) Funny thing is, I find it very easy to do and I don’t even have a silly pattern to follow! I have a couple more spots to finish up and then find a ribbon to match and it will be finished. If this continues to go well, I am going to buy some really pretty, full price material and make each of the girls one.
If you have any sewing tips or websites for beginners I would love to have them!
I am planning on taking a class at the first of the year or our first school break. Until then I am on my own!!

Jul. 26, 2007 - Homeschool 2007-2008
**This was posted on my family blog today** Just wanted to post here as well!
I am looking forward to participating in the “Homeschool Open House 2007” that my friend Tiany is hosting on her blog. If you have not already checked it out go HERE. With school starting back up week after next, I have decided to start posting our 2007-2008 homeschool adventures on my HSB blog ~ www.homeschoolblogger.com/daddysgirls ~ (this blog will still remain open as our family blog) I am looking forward to going back. It was a hard decision to leave the first time but because of some of the changes that were made, I was constantly having trouble with my blog. Since then most of the problems have been fixed and it is running much smoother. I hope that you will check in with us HERE to see how our school year is going. I will be posting about our days, (good and bad) homeschool finds and plenty of questions for all the veteran homeschool moms. That is one of the things I love most about this community! Everyone is there for each other, ready to help, offer up advice and be an encouragement to one another.
A little homeschool humor

May. 2, 2007 - Animal School
I ran across this video a couple of days ago and just wanted to share with you. No matter if we homeschool our children or they go to a public or private school, I think we can learn a lot from this little video. So many times I feel like I am trying to cram Emily & Audrey into this little box ~ that they just are not going to fit into. When it comes to learning they are SO different, what comes easy to one may be difficult for the other. Seeing this video opened my eyes a little bit more to realize that they are unique and they each have their own special gifts.
I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well. Psalms 139:14
I can’t get the video to show up here so you will need to click on the link ~http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wVxT4XO0ZuY

Dec. 21, 2006 -
A wise man once told me that what we do in moderation our children do in excess. I am finding out more and more how true that is!! I am a hypochondriac, yes, you heard right. When I have an ache or pain I tell everyone that will listen and most times those who could care less. I am always trying to self diagnose myself looking up symptoms online, asking around and I have the habit of telling the doctor what is wrong with me. Most times there really is something wrong with me but nobody gives it a second thought because I whine ALL the time. When my back was out that was all I talked whined about. I know some (doctors included) thought I just had a pulled muscle and was being a big baby. But come to find out I had a ruptured disk. So on top of being a hypochondriac I am a whiner. Well, somehow this gene has been passed down to Audrey and you know what ~ it is driving me crazy! I realize now what I have put David through the past 13 years and my parents the past 33 ~ Everyday it is something new. She’ll come to me with a new ache or pain and the worst is running through my mind. Until I realized she is a little ME! Last week she came up to me complaining that her chest hurt and asked if kids could get pneumonia. Yesterday, she was complaining that her shoulder blade was hurting and could she have a kidney stone. The list could go on and on.
I think I need to pick up on a few new habits that maybe the girls would do in excess, like maybe cleaning up the house or doing laundry.
BTW ~ the wise man was none other than my sweet hubby!

Dec. 20, 2006 - A Funny & A Contest
Boy it really has been a long time since I posted something! Sorry Tracey (heehee)
Christmas break for Trio Academy started yesterday!! We are only going to take the rest of this week through next Tuesday off since we have missed so many days due to sickness.
Wanna hear a funny story? Do you ever have one of those “you have got to be kidding me” moments? Well, I have them all the time and this little ditty will give you a glimpse into what my sweet husband has to put up with most of the time. We have Sarah’s baby crib in our bedroom. It is on my side pushed right up against the bed. (She started out in a co-sleeper and I have just gotten used to her being by my side.) Plus, I am just a little lazy because I do not want to get up out of the bed to get her, this way I can just reach over and pick her up. Anyway, the other night she started crying and I put her in the bed with us and she started pointing at her blanket. So, I get her blanket out and hand it to her. She lays there a minute and she starts pointing and saying “Pooh” This is where it gets interesting and my laziness gets me in trouble. With her bed being right there I can just stick my hand through the rails and grab her stuff up for her. But on this particular night Pooh Bear was just a little too far over for me to reach. I go in a little further, just a little more. Finally, I have pooh in my grasp but I can’t move my arm. I am stuck!! I start pulling and twisting, all the while holding on to Sarah, finally I realize I am going to have to wake up David. I started whispering “David” again ~ nothing ~ so I have to start poking him and he jumps up (thinking something is wrong) only to hear me say “I’m stuck” The look on his face was priceless (at the time I did not think this was a funny situation to be in at 3:00 in the morning) Once he saw what I was talking about he started laughing! He pulled and pulled for a minute nothing. He finally pulled the rails apart, it took a minute but I was finally able to pull my arm out. Boy, it hurt and it is still sore!
Okay, I know I am not the only one to have these types of moments! I want to hear about them. Leave me a comment ~ Hey, I think I may even turn this into a contest! My first contest!! WooHoo ~ Post your “You have got to be kidding me” moment on your blog, leave me a comment and I will draw a name out of all the entries. The deadline will be Sunday December 31, 2006 and I will draw on Monday January 1, 2007 ~ I do not know what the prize will be yet as I just thought to do this! Once I figure something out I will let you know. For anyone who does not have a blog ~ email me your moment but just know that I will post here for everyone to read!!
