Presidential Studies

2nd grade is studying past Presidents and when he drew this picture, I just had to share.

Now We Have Teeth...

In science class, Pre-K is studying cells. We are using the book, Sam's Science: I Know How My Cells Make Me Grow and today Pre-K was drawing a picture of the characters from the book. Remember when I was so excited that we had 5 fingers with my then first grader? Well I am now proud to announce that with Pre-K, people have teeth!

Choices...

Yesterday (Saturday) 6th grade had her very first recital with the other students from the studio where she is taking voice lessons. It was wonderful! Before we left, as I was getting everyone dressed we had a small wardrobe malfunction which put us a little behind on time, so as we were walking out the door, there was just a bit of frantic grabbing of last minute items. I reached for what I though was a pack of gum to throw in my pocket:

But what I grabbed was this:

Which I did not find out about until we were sitting in the auditorium waiting for the performance.

Not the way to get fresh minty breath! LOL!

This morning as we were heading out for church, I told the kids to grab money for the offering plate to stick in their pockets/purse. Later, as the plate was being passed around, James pulls this out of his pocket:

He could not understand why he could not spend this Bahamian dollar here in the States.

Just before I wrote this post, the phone rang and I picked up the t.v. remote.... I think we've had too much vacation. ROFL!

Field Trip

Today we went to a bounce arena with our home school group. I was able to surprise the children with this trip and they. had. a. BALL!!!!! It was a really nice set up as I had never been to any place like this. The price was very reasonable: $4 per child for 3 hours. There were couches and massage chairs for the parents to sit in and a very nice sized group. I think this will be a monthly thing that we will try to participate in this winter.

6th grade has posted about The Best Vacation Ever!! over at her blog, Princess Puppy. Check it out and give her some support.

Facebook Finds

I joined Facebook to keep up with my teenager, but really never paid too much attention to "socially networking" on it until I learned to play Uno, Farm Town and Farm Ville. (BTW - I need more neighbors so I can hire plowers :))

When my mother was pregnant with me, she agreed to be followed by a student from Case Western University in Cleveland, OH. That young doctor ended up delivering me. I believe I was her first delivery and my mother kept in touch with her and she with my mother after my birth. In fact, she gave me a little stuffed animal that I still have. When I was 10 years old, my family moved from Ohio and while I had several phone calls with that doctor, we eventually lost touch with each other.

I celebrated my 44th birthday last week and this morning when I got on Facebook to check my farms (LOL), I saw a friend request from the doctor that delivered me. What a trip!
