So Glad The Weekend Is Over

This is one weekend that I'm glad to see go. It has been a long one for me. For the first time in my life I had a stomach virus. It was pretty terrible and from now on I have a whole new sympathy for people when they say they've got one. Mine lasted 4 days! It felt so good to wake up this morning and be feeling like myself again.

Now I've got lots of catching up to do. Vince was a huge blessing with the kids all weekend, which was wonderful since all I felt like doing was lying on the couch. But the house has gone to pot!! It's a total mess everywhere, so it's going to be a busy day.

And I sure haven't gotten any menu planning done since the thought of food, well...it wasn't pleasant. If everything goes well today I think we'll be having turkey meatloaf tonight, but I've got to get to the grocery store today, too, since the cupboards are looking bare.

So I'll be back later, much later probably, after whipping this ship we call a house back into shape. Hope you have a great day, too!

Glad you're feeling better! Sorry to hear you were sick...I hate the "recovery period" when you're finally feeling better...you know the grocery shopping, cleaning the house...basically returning everything to normal! Good luck!

Oh Lora, your house was not a disaster. I am glad you feel better and are ready to clean it up though! I guess I don't need to send you that text asking if you are better.

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

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

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
