    The Trip to the Apple Orchard

    Tuesday, October 30th, 2007

    We went on a field trip to the apple orchard with a group of homeschoolers.
    First there was a hayride, pulled by these guys….

    We learned about the plants and animals that live in the area. Did you know bears need to eat 25 pounds of food per day to get ready for hibernation?
    Then we learned about […]

    But What in the Heck Do You Do With All of the Pumpkin?

    Thursday, October 18th, 2007

    You chop it into chunks…..bake it…..puree it….and make pumpkin bread and muffins, of course. We only had the patience to use less than half of our pumpkin. Had we used our whole pumpkin, we could have made nine loaves of pumpkin bread. Um, yeah…..we’re just not that into it.
    The ingredients are gathered, and The Boy […]

    Any of you who also read The Boy’s blog, know that he has been doing some interviews. Some gracious […]

    The Birds and The Bees…With a Heaping Helping of Testicles

    Thursday, March 29th, 2007

    So in case you’ve missed it…we homeschool. We have been doing a unit study on the human body, and today it finally happened. We reached the reproductive organs. Cringe. As much as I was dreading this, the kids were all ready to go.
    The day’s lesson featured pictures of said organs for the kids to color […]

    A Boy and His Blog

    Thursday, February 22nd, 2007

    I need to ask a tiny blogland favor. I have started a blog for The Boy. Yeah? So? I need to solicit some comments from any kind souls who can spare a minute or two. Some background on The Boy….
    The Boy has Sensory Integration Dysfunction. It seems to have gotten much milder as of late….it […]
