Know & Tell Friday: Random Stuff

Happy Friday!! Here's some fun hosted by Reese & Heather at Kicking it in Crazyville....

1. Which is worse: speaking to a large crowd or working under an impossible deadline? Definitely speaking to a large crowd--give me an impossible deadline any day over that!

2. Could you work with your best friend? Mmmm....maybe

3. Do you eat seafood? Definitely! LOVE it!!

4. What is the worst thing you have ever eaten? Maybe this terrible "dessert" in South Africa made from vermicelli--positively disgusting! I have issues with warm, mushy stuff anyway: such as, oatmeal, cream of wheat, etc...

5. Which would make you feel more appreciated by your DH / SO: bringing home flowers, doing a chore without being asked, or asking you on a “date”? I must say, doing a chore without being asked...although I do love flowers. He's great about the date thing though!

6. What is something fun you are going to do today? Finish packing for the beach!!! Woo Hoo!!!

7. What qualities you look for in a friend … in other words, what causes you to really “click” with someone? Great sense of humor, thoughtfulness, common interests/likes, kindness, to name a few....

Join in the fun...head over to Kicking it in Crazyville and check it out!

That dessert definitely sounds nasty, although I can do oatmeal. I'm surprised a girl from the South can't do Cream of Wheat! :)

I love the pics you've posted of the kids. I finally had a chance to browse through your blog since I've been out of the loop for a week, and it looks like you're having a wonderful summer.

Hope the beach is great!

Blessings~

The Making of an Egyptian Death Mask

We are learning all about the ancient world this year with Story of the World I and loving it! We've been learning a lot about Egypt, of course, which is completely fascinating. Most recently we have studied the New Kingdom of Egypt, which includes the story of King Tut. So we decided making an Egyptian death mask in the style of King Tut's would be a fun project. First since it was too cold at the time to paper mache in the garage (it probably would have frozen instead of dried-ha) and it was too messy to do it in the house, we decided to pick up a couple of cheap craft masks at Hobby Lobby. Next we cut out cardboard shapes to complete the shape of the death mask, attaching them with hot glue. Vince even put a little detail on the *beard* with the hot glue per The Princess' request. Then the kiddos started to paint them with this metallic gold tempera paint. It worked okay for the cardboard, but would not coat the plastic of the mask. We thought maybe a second coat

1st Day Back to {home}School, Among Other Things

We did it! We finally got unpacked enough and got our new learning room organized enough to start back to school! Frankly, I was starting to get worried...ha Today went very well though. So far I am extremely pleased with our new curriculum choices for math and language arts. Now, if I could just actually get some lesson planning done... And get the finishing touches done in the learning room, so I can blog it! In other news, it has been a bit of a traumatic week...pet-wise. Last weekend a sweet friend (who had asked my permission beforehand) brought the kiddos their very own little fish tank with two goldfish. Well, on Sunday we noticed that The Princess' fish was pretty lethargic...dead, actually. She was sad, but she handled it fairly well. And we went to the store that evening and let her pick out a new goldfish. Well, today during our school time~the fish tank is in our learning room~we noticed Mr. B's fish was acting funny. And then he was dead. It was a

Door Hanger Chore Charts

My kids have had a chore chart for a while. It's one of those magnetic boards and they share it. However, it's not by their rooms and often they (and I) forget to update it. Plus it's a little bulky. When I saw the concept of a door hanger chore chart on Pinterest, I loved it! It was compact, right there were the kiddos could see it coming out and going into their rooms, and it costs almost nothing to make. I headed over to one of my favorite stores: Hobby Lobby, of course. They have these little wooden door hangers for .79. I also grabbed a couple of packets of decorative buttons for $1.99 each. I already had the clothes pins and the paint so those cost me nothing. I began by painting the door hangers (I used tempera paints because that's what I had). Then I grabbed a fine point Sharpie and the clothes pins and started writing chores on them, making sure to write them correctly so they will clip on the right direction. The left
