Out Of The Mouth Of Babes

Overheard while the kiddos were playing Superman/Supergirl:

The Princess: "what's on your shoulders?"
Mr. B: "it's my cape."
The Princess: "you look like an old lady."
~~~~~
Said by The Princess when we laughed at the "old lady" remark:
"Don't laugh at me, it makes me nervous."
~~~~~
While curling The Princess' hair:

The Princess: "are you almost finished?"
Me: "this is the price of beauty...it takes time to be beautiful"
The Princess: "I'm already beautiful"
~~~~~
While playing *I Spy* in a restaurant:

Mr. B: "I spy something gray"
(after many wrong guesses...)
Mr. B: "It's Nana's hair!"

In the bathroom stall of the same restaurant (while another person was in the only other stall!):

Mr. B: "Mama, you have a big bottom!"
~~~~~

We've been laughing a lot lately!!!

Kids say the funniest thing. Doesn't it make you feel wonderful to have them comment on your butt? Harmony has done the same thing, then asked where I got "my big bottom"....I was seriously tempted to tell her it was all their fault and not to worry, her's would come one day!! I withstood the temptation though, and have chosen instead to remember this when she grows up & has her own kids ;-)

Oh, Lora, you have your own little comedians, too! At least I haven't had the bottom comment...and hopefully mentioning it was not my curse.

I've had the last one told to me in a public restroom on more than one occasion...while the other stalls were occupied. Children can be so humbling...and so entertaining!

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
