Catching up

Gosh, I just don't seem to have time to blog anymore. I always think about things I want to post, but then I never get the time to post them. I'm stealing a few minutes right now in between art classes and right before I have to go make the kids' lunch. So here's a little of what we've been up to lately:


Random updat #1: We had our first homeschool science fair this last weekend. We had a small, but good turnout and I think it was successful. Hopefully, we can continue to have them. I think the kids really learn a lot doing their projects.

Random update #2:

I had lost my watch the weekend after Christmas. It was my Mickey Mouse watch that my husband bought me at Disney World. It was a really sweet, spontaeous gift so the watch was special to me. I remembered picking it up off the bookcase in the living room to put it away, but that was the last time I saw it. It was missing for about 2 weeks. I was so bummed. I turned the house upside down looking for it. Then, I found it a couple of nights ago! It was in the pocket of my robe! Apparantly, I got sidetracked when going to put it away (imagine that!) and stuck it in the pocket. I don't wear the robe very often so it was a couple weeks before I found it again. I was so happy!

Ok, I have time for only one more random update! This is from the files of funny things Claire says. She's trying to make a hot air balloon for her stuffed cat. She put her in a bucket and tied a jump rope to it and it trying to launch it off the landing of the stairs. Well, a little while ago I hear her softly repeating "help" "help". I thought she was playing, but after a while I decided to ask what she was doing. (I know, good mom, right? Wait 5 minutes if they're still calling for help then go check it out!) Anyway, her reply? "Technical Difficulties." How funny is that? I had to go rescue the stuffed cat because she didn't want to drop her down to the floor!

Ok, now I feel better that I have actually posted on my blog! Now, I'm off to make lunch so we can eat really quick and head back out to Nathan's art class.

Random Things

Random Thing#1...Mondays are just never very nice to me!
I was without my computer for the entire day yesterday. Wow, that was annoying! Apparantly, we had some windows error known as the "blue screen of death"! I couldn't access anything on it...no internet, no excel, no word, nothing! This was really annoying because I needed my son's school schedule that was on my computer. Good thing this is the last week of school and all he had left was Math and Latin.

Random Thing #2...everyone is safe and sound!
We cleaned out the snail habitat again yesterday and I am happy to report that all is well...no unfortunate mishaps this time! Oh, and their names are now Lilly, Silly, Giggly, and Nicer (formerly Unaccepted).

Random Thing #3...I'm still annoyed by this!
I posted last week about the news explaining to parents how to occupy their kids when they are home from school. Well, yesterday I overheard a mom saying that her daughter's school is closed due to the whole swine flu thing. She actually said, "I don't want her home! Its almost summer, I don't want her now!" That's just awful!!!! Why do these people even have kids? I just couldn't imagine saying that about one of my kids.

Random Thing #4...Rain Rain Go Away!
We have rain in the forecast again today. It seems like it has rained every day for the last 2 or 3 weeks! If its going to rain I wish it would just rain for a couple of days and then go away. Its really hard to plan for things when you have to constantly change your schedule because of rain. That being said, it is nicer than being in a drought in 100 degree weather!

Random Thing #5...Happy Cinco de Mayo!
Bring on the margaritas!!
