Simply Homeschooling

Oct. 2, 2007
One of those defining moments
You know you are really, truly and absolutely a homeschooling mom when you can look ahead at the lessons for the next day, see you need a model of the respiratory system and not panic. You simply grab an empty dish soap bottle, two balloons, some tubing , a cork ,masking tape and in a few short minutes you have before you a model that is accurate and fun to play with. Your husband thinks you are brilliant ( and thankful that he does not have to visit the butcher with another weird request), but to you  it's just prep for another day of homeschool , and you head off to the kitchen to make a meatloaf.

We're doing the body with my daughter, Lucy- age 5. So I appreciated this post. Very funny. What's the saying "Necessity is the mother of all inventions." Interesting that mother is used, eh?

We have a stash of supplies but I wouldn't have been able to find a cork there. Balloons maybe if the boys hadn't found them and used them for one of their spontaineous projects first. LOL
