Homeschool Journal

In my life this week…I had/have a sinus infection. It is my first and it is kicking my behind. I did not realize I needed to go to the doctor until I realized I had taken a entire bottle of ibuprofen.
In our homeschool this week…
We did math at the strawberry patch and studied animals at the zoo and aquarium and worked on math review skills.
Places we’re going and people we’re seeing… we are going to a friend’s today to see her chickens, in the last week we have gone to the beach and zoo and aquarium and gone strawberry picking. It has been a busy week.
My favorite thing this week was…
Having friends over to play almost daily and today we are going to visit a friend who has chickens, I cannot wait.
Homeschool questions/thoughts I have…
How is my son done with school for the year but my girls still having another month at least? How do you prepare your child for standardized test?

My breakfast

My friend Becky gave me this reciepe. Take Grands buscuits and put in muffin pan, you will have to take a little from a couple to make 12 since only 10 biscuits come in a pack. scramble (not cook) 5 or 6 eggs, mix with half a pound of meat (we used sausage) pour the eggs and sausage over the biscuit, not quite to the top. sprinkle with cheese and bake for about 18 minutes. WOW they were good and I think they would freeze well. I will tell you I tried a second batch with the generic biscuits, you know the kind that come 4 packs together and put one biscuit in each one. It did not work, the egg was able to get to the bottom so you had to use a fork with it. my goal is things to eat on the way.

5 Question Friday

1. If you could buy any car, money not an option, what would it be? I use to say I wanted a 12 passenger van until my husband reminded me I could not park my minivan. I honestly would like a Tahoe or something similar that has more leg room for my growing space.

2. What was your worst first date ever?
HMMM, not bad but my now husband did take me to play miniature golf. They were busy so we decided to hit balls. So when it was time to play mini golf, I asked how to hit the ball and he said the same way. OOPS, as the ball flies over the fence and onto a car.
3. How old were you when you fell in love for the first time?
Oh man, when did I fall in love, I do not remember a specific minute. My hubby and I dated for 2.5 years and then broke up and then one day a couple of years later he called me out of the blue. I would say it was probably the minute I heard his voice.
4. When was the last time you reconciled your checkbook? HA never, years and year ago. I have to remember to even carry a checkbook. Every few weeks I look to make sure my bills came out of my account and then that is it.

5. If you were going to fashion a "Wanted" Ad for a best friend, how would you word it? I actually have had a wanted sign made on me. Yes, I was a wanted person.

A trip to the Ocean

I learned today that sea gulls will eat strawberries. I guess I knew they ate anything but strawberries seemed crazy to me.

I told the kids that it was too cold for playing in the water. I did bring towels because I knew someone would get wet. At one point the girls had there capri's pulled up and were playing in the water. By the time we left Hope was wet head to toe.



I would be willing to pay someone to teach me and my blessings how to keep our eyes open when they are outside and getting there pictures taken.

North Carolina Zoo

Last week my mom visited. I love when my mom visits and this week I wanted it to be special because the last time she was visiting I had a eye infection and was not able to drive us anywhere. So this week we went to the zoo. It was wonderful, the weather was perfect. We took a friends daughter. She is the cutest thing ever. I told her she had to be in the stroller or holding a hand. So when Grace tried to hold her big brothers hand Kerri went crazy. She made Grace let go of him so she could hold his hand. Then when he was holding Grace she had a fit so he put Grace down to hold her. It was too cute. I noticed something else about children, rather they are a human or animal child mama wants them closed. These little monkey's could not get away from momma or she would grab them by the tale and pull them back. Cracked me up. Maybe I should attach a tail to my kids.
