We decided to take Grandma and Grandpa over to the Imperial Dunes. Munchkin can never go to the dunes without exploring at least a little bit. Daddy and Munchkin almost immediately headed off to traverse the dunes. Grandpa took a few pictures and investigated the area a bit. Grandma and I watched and had a bit of a snack before heading over to look at the dunes. Munchkin took a moment or two to snap a picture with Grandma. Then, she was off looking around again. No matter how old he gets, D is still his mom’s “little” boy. It’s…

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…

I’m using this current time to evaluate how I did as a teacher and mom over this past year. I’m making a few adjustments in how I handle things, and I’m putting my expectations of Munchkin in writing.…

Let’s Go Fly a Kite

Posted in Family

Munchkin and I picked up a really cute gecko kite on clearance at Target for just over a dollar. When we went camping over Memorial Day weekend, the kite came along “just in case”. Munchkin doesn’t remember ever flying a kite. She did when she was younger, but apparently, she no longer remembers. She was really looking forward to learning. Daddy did a good job showing Munchkin what she needed to do, but the wind was not blowing quite enough. Munchkin decided that would not deter her from flying her kite. There were several times that the wind did really…
