Homeschooling in Illinois

Sweet n Sour

There is a family at our church who is mutlilingual.  One of the languages they speak is Portuguese.  The other day, N was talking about how his friend spoke different languages.  He said, "Yeah, he speaks English and Perogies."  HAHAHA!!  (Can you tell we are Polish?)

 

My hubby left me the sweetest note yesterday.  I opened up my Bible and there was a colored pencil stuck in it.  I looked and highlighted is Proverbs 31:28:  "Her children arise and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her".  I just think that is the best note ever. 

 

Despite those sweet thoughts, I am rather sour today.  It's that time, when I turn into a monster.  Yelling and throwing fits.  Ugh.  Why can't the kids learn to be on their best behiviour when I turn crazy?  Noooo... instead, they get worse. 

The plumbing inspector was supposed to come today for one of three final inspections.  (Yes, three).  He was going to be here between 8 and 11.  After 11, I decided he must be working on Pacific time.  Well, now it's after 1 and I guess it must be 8-11 pm.  (yeah, that makes sense)  Today is Friday, right? 

 

Last year at this time I was doing Dandelion Seed's Spring Cleaning.  I really need to do it again.  I still have all the paper work for it.  It's just a matter of kicking myself into gear.  Yeah, that's what I'll do.... later...

I brought up a giant bin full of Little People stuff trying to interest Baby B.  It worked, but it also interested Princess C.  And of course, with a huge, giant bin full of different things, they only wanted what the other had. 

Now, Princess C is in my bed "napping" (playing with stuffed animals).  N is watching a reading DVD and D is reading.  And Baby B is destroying the house.. tearing down things that I thought were piled high out of his reach.  I guess I was wrong.

I was busting up about the pierogies. LOL Too funny. And, hey, we've got Polish blood here, too. Well, my DH does. I'd love to learn more about Poland, but then he's such a mix that I'd have to teach the kids about Germany and Canada and England and, well, sheesh, we'll cover it all through history classes. LOL

We love Little People. Those playsets have been used by all my kids when they were itty-bitty and when they see the baby with them, they all start playing again with the sets. It's cute.

Oh, and I followed the previous post's link. Scary stuff!

I LOVED this post! :) I was laughing so hard at the Pirogi comment! Hehehehee :) It was really sweet of Mike to leave that note for you...REally sweet! :)
And,,,oh, yeah! I was very intrigued by the Little People toys! What are they?????? And do you have any other ideas on what kinds of activities I can do with Anastasia? All she wants is books, signing time, flash cards, and walking around the house with a purse over her arm, pretending to run away from me and squealing with delight. :) No interest in toys whatsoever...(Sigh...) :) I am running out of ideas.. :)

About Me

Oh, the crazy things that happen in my house.... I am the wife of M for 8 years now. I am the mother of a 10 yo boy - D, 6 1/2 yo boy - N, 4 yo girl - Princess C, 2 1/2 yo boy -Toddler B, and girl Lil' L born May 18. I've been homeschooling since 2003. I lean towards a Charlotte Mason approach, but more often than not, it's "whatever works".
