2010 School Pictures

Posted in Family, and Homeschooling

We had fun taking some school pictures of Munchkin.  We’re still not sure we have the right shot yet as the sunlight appears too bright in most of the pictures… Munchkin doesn’t like the angle on this one, so I doubt it will make the cut. She’s not sure if she likes this shot either as it doesn’t really feel like her. This is our favorite picture, but due to the sunlight, she’s squinting a bit.  It definitely shows the true Munchkin more than the other two pictures.  We may need to try some more once the sun isn’t as…

Just Wait and See

Posted in Christian Life

I received this poem in an email and thought I would add some pictures and share it here. JUST WAIT AND SEE! by Marian Hanna Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD. Psalm 27:14 When your thinking is confused, And your senses are bemused, Look to Christ! He will tell you what to do — Through His Spirit within you You will find His truth infused. Just wait and see! When you’re anxious, tired, and stressed, And your spirit feels depressed, Look to Christ! He is loving,…

Afternoon Activities: Volcano part 2

Posted in Homeschooling

Munchkin and D were both able to find the parts that they needed to complete their respective projects.  While Munchkin was able to complete her project, D was not so fortunate.  He’s still fighting with his truck, but that’s a different story…. After Munchkin finished assembling the volcano, we located the necessary baking soda, vinegar, food coloring, and dish soap.  We tried 3 different experiments: baking soda, vinegar, dish soap baking soda, vinegar, dish soap, food coloring baking soda, vinegar, food coloring We determined that the dish soap, while creating a slower flow, was making way too many suds.  Thus,…

Afternoon Activity: Volcano part 1

Posted in Homeschooling

D was away on a short trip the last couple of days, and I have been dealing with headaches this week.  Munchkin has been very patient and gracious while I’ve needed to rest more than usual.  We’ve cuddled in bed and watched movies.  (Well, she’s watched the movie quietly while I rested.)  While she was okay with this, she eventually needed something to do.  Thankfully, I have various items set aside for times like these. Munchkin decided that she wanted to work on the volcano activity set.  I had picked up this Smithsonian Great Volcano set at a thrift store…
