a little birdie tagged me

I've been tagged by Steviewren at A Little Birdie Told Me So to tell 6 unspectacular quirks about myself. Hmmm...I've been thinking about what to say.....these are random, folks!

  1. I always have to tear out any inserts in a magazine before I can relax and read it--they really bother me
  2. Even if I'm sweating I have to have some form of cover on when I'm in bed, it makes me feel *protected*.
  3. I drive my hubby crazy when I bounce, shake, tap (whatever you want to call it) my foot when I'm sitting.
  4. I refuse to skip to the back of a book and read the last page to find out how it ends
  5. I love to take notes: on a sermon, lesson, lecture...
  6. I love to address envelopes, especially the ones for my Christmas cards

OK, now that you're dazzled by that strange and boring list, you can read even more strange facts about me here and here. Or not. Feel free either way.

If you really like to read about people's quirks, head over to Kicking it in Crazyville today!

Oh my gosh Lora, we might be twins! Magazine inserts-hate them too, I'm still afraid there might be a monster under the bed that will get me if I'm not covered up, I consider shaking my foot exercise and I need all of that I can get, I wouldn't think of reading the end of the book first...that would ruin the rest, I take notes, doodle, write key words, I look forward to addressing envelopes! How did we get to be so similar...it might be a little freaky if you weren't so nice!

Those are great facts about you! I love that you have to tear out magazine inserts..I don't like those either! My hubby hates when I move or tap, also..it must be a guy thing!
-Great blog!

Steviewren,
that is so funny! My hubby was relieved to hear that maybe I'm not so *strange*:)

Sandy toes,
maybe it is a guy thing about not liking the tapping of the foot--that helps me understand my hubby a little more:)

Lora...yes, my kids are in a Christian school (they were last year). I have not change my mind about homeschooling...there are so many benefits and wonderful attributes about it. However, in the season of life we are in right now...it would not work for now!
Have a great day!

Lora,

On 1-4, I'm totally with you. (I also have to remove the dust jacket from hardcover books while I'm reading; I put them back on when I'm done.) The last 2 though... not so much. In fact, I HATE addressing envelopes. I do take notes at church, but that's about it...

Bless you. Have a spectacular weekend.

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
