The Young Scientist

Posted in Holidays, and Homeschooling

Munchkin enjoys science. She enjoys experiments and observations. When it came time for dissections, she was very excited. The catch? She really wanted Daddy to be her assistant. I offered to do the dissections with her, but she wanted Daddy. We’ve skipped over some of the dissections in the chapters until Daddy had a chance to sit down with her. Monday night, Daddy got home early. Munchkin was thrilled because they would finally be able to at least do one dissection. After we ate dinner, Munchkin and Daddy got their dissection area all set up. Unfortunately, our poor earthworm dried…

Flea Market Goodies

Posted in Holidays, and Homemaking

Unlike most of the country, we are now enjoying flea markets and roadside fruit/veggie stands.  This weekend, we stopped by the flea market that just opened for the season.  We didn’t realize how big it was until we pulled in to park.  It was also quite crowded.  We started walking around just to check it out when I spied a bulk nut and dried fruit booth.  I happily looked around and was pleasantly surprised at the prices.  We grabbed a few goodies (flax seeds, banana chips, walnut pieces), paid for our purchase, and moved on. As we were getting ready…

Saturday Morning Breakfast

Posted in Family, and Holidays

During the week, D eats waffles that I have made and frozen for him. (I’m not getting up that early and making waffles. lol!)  If for some reason there are no waffles ready, he’ll eat cereal, but he prefers the waffles. I always wonder if he’ll get tired of them, but he doesn’t. It’s just something that works for us. Most Saturday mornings, you will find D in the kitchen cooking breakfast. It’s not something that I ask him to do, and I certainly don’t expect it. Yet, that is what you’ll find him doing most weekends. He cooks up…

Munchkin & Math

Posted in Holidays, and Homeschooling

Munchkin has a love/hate relationship with math. Some days, she really enjoys it, and other days, well, she really hates it. She’s good at math, but she is also use to it being easy. As things get more difficult, she gets more frustrated. She’s also a perfectionists, so that can make math a bit tedious. Right now, she is having fun with an online math program, Mathetics, that is challenging yet fun. Plus, it plugs in to her competitive nature as she can compete to be in the top spot for the US or the World. Now, she doesn’t really…
