Wednesday, September 6, 2006 - And the results are...
|
a good day in the mamaduso home. Attitudes needing a wee bit of adjusting this morning but other than that school go off to a good start. The cutest thing was that as the girls were getting ready for school they packed their backpacks with all their folders and books and brought them to the kitchen table for school. It was adorable. We took a little detour around lunch time to pick up our new kitten. She is so cute. Her name was Bella and we kept it. It fit. She is playing with Lucy right now. Lucy hasn't been around other animals for a year so she is adjusting to this new toy. We finished school in the afternoon and then I was off to run an errand and an appointment. It was a busy packed day but it was good. I am thankful for our good start. Hoping for another tomorrow.
This evening in the car Pixie asked us why the moon is sometimes a crescent and sometimes it is half and a whole. Well, that led us to a great opportunity when we got home and dad got two balls of different sizes and a light and he demonstrated how the moon changes sizes, as well as how we get day and night. The other day he was telling me how impressed he was that Peanut had asked what the moon was made out of. Wow- that is a great question. I asked him what he said. "Cheese"
I am really enjoying these learning opportunities we have at home with the kids. Think how much they would miss being gone all day. Think how much we would miss.

How funny..last night my 5year old ds said "mom did you know there is a flag on the moon, an astronaut put it there." The moon must have been pretty amazing last night.... |

You might find this interesting. I subscribe to Space Weather News, and this was today's mailing:
For Sept. 7, 2006
http://spaceweather.com
BIG FULL MOON: Tonight's full moon is the closest and biggest of 2006. Why? The Moon's orbit is lopsided: one side is closer to Earth than the other. When the Moon turns full on Sept 7th, it will be on the close side, making it seem a bit wider than usual. Look for the extra-wide Moon rising in the east at sunset--very pretty.
A SPOT OF FOLKLORE: September's full Moon is usually called the Harvest Moon, but not this year. By definition, the Harvest Moon is the full Moon closest to the autumnal equinox. This year's equinox falls on Sept. 23rd and the full Moon closest to that comes on October 7th. The 2006 Harvest Moon will have to wait until October.
Glad you had a good first day!
Amy

| What a great reminder of why we homeschool, a day in the life. Things get so busy I forget to look back at the day and see all that they have learned. |

What a wonderful start to the school year! My first couple of days didn't go so well, but things are starting to fall into place now!
As soon as you get your picture scanned, send it on over! I also have a collection of backgrounds you can look though for fun, just in case you might like something there. It's at www.photobucket.com/tbackgrounds. I have been adding things as they strike me!

Lookee, lookee! It's me, commenting to you! I'm so glad to hear that your school year is going well. Ours is off to a rocky start due to the computer trouble, but we school year round. Kitties are cute, girlies are cute, and I really liked your modesty post and I will steal that a little later!

My kids would so love a moon quesadilla!
Glad you had a great start, Susan! I can't wait until Monday...well...okay, I can wait...but we start the new year on Monday and the boys are sooo looking forward to it. I guess even they can only take so much of endless free time!
Love,

What lovely daughters you have!! I have a few sons here...maybe we should talk in a few years. LOL
I just read your comment and yes, we are fairly close to each other. Depending on what side of the city you live on, I think we are just barely an hour north of you. My husband takes the kids down to Splash! every once in a while, and the mall is the place to go around Christmas time for my husband and the kids.
We used to live in Harrisburg, nestled right up next to Eugene. We miss that community. |
