Nature Calls During Science

Warning:

This is a story about poop!


During school hours our littlest Rottie sits in his seat and sleeps until about 10:45 am at which time he is ready for a feeding and a diaper change. When I started to change his diaper, there was just a bit of poop, I wiped him and well...that opened a floodgate! All reading ceased....pencils were stopped in mid-stroke, looks of disgust, amazement and curiosity were all around. It was a gargantuan amount that matched none other. I kept thinking, "Man, there is no way that newborn sized diaper would have held all of that!" But I kept that thought to myself. The silence was only broken by the 4 year old that said: "Wow! That baby has a lot of poop!"

Indeed!

And so.... we had a great discussion on the digestive system from beginning to the end.

The Story Writer

First grade is learning to write stories that have a title, a beginning, a middle and an end. Here is a cute one that started off talking about a baseball game, but then had them running down the court and the picture ended up being a basketball picture. Very funny kid.





Check out the final score! LOL!

And on we go.

Report Cards

I just want to take a moment to tell my beautiful children that I am so proud of them and pleased to see them work so hard on their studies. We have made such progress in our little school.


Congratulations 10th grade. I know it is hard for you sometimes, but this year you have really made a turn-around in your school work.

Prayer Needed

A very dear blog buddy had this on her blog and I wanted to pass it on. I am copying and pasting from A Purpose Driven Life.

"A tragic situation is going on over at A Place Called Simplicity. This amazing family just brought home 2 children from Uganda and are in the process of bringing home a special needs daughter from China. This morning their house burned to the ground. Thankfully all the children got out in time... praise the Lord!!Please keep them in your prayers, Linn and her family needs the support of the adoption community now more than ever. For updates and to help this family, visit Lori's blog.(Thanks Stefanie- I copied and pasted this from your blog although I had heard about this from another friend first)PS- please copy this and paste it on your blogs if you have them! Let's get the body of Christ moving for these people! They have lost everything but each other and with six children still at home and one little one still waiting to come to their family from China...there will be much to replace. Please please say an extra prayer for the two newest family members from Uganda that this scary experience will not impair their bonding."
