Birthday Photos

I did mention I've gained 20 lbs with the PCS? ::snort:: Here I sport our new Pig Party Hat - Japanese style. The wings - which flap - are a nice addition.
My first Kokechi Doll - I'll have to blog about them.
Now this is a thoughtful gift. Noise Reduction headphones from Zander, Arielle and Jared.

I do have a photo of baby Steven, but I haven't asked if I can post it...

Such a Good Mommy

I heard a sweet little voice, sing-songing.... "Ah, you're such a precious little baby. You're a cute little bear. Smile for Mommy." And she got a great photo of her babies....though I'm not 100% sure of her methods of keeping the herd together. ::snort::

School

This eager student was VERY interested in how the tape runner works, and how to re-thread it. Sherri, maybe I won't have to learn how to thread my own tape runners....even over here. ::snort::



We are back in the saddle again....so completely in the saddle that we worked on our science notebooks. These are their Apologia Learn N Folders. The technique combines lapbooking with notebooking. As I watched the kids work, talk, enjoy.....I contemplated. They are getting older. I can't find file folders. We are playing catch up after our CRAZY move this fall. I thought I'd skip lapbooks this year.

They enjoyed science today. They love science. I don't. I need to enjoy it. All that aside....they love working on the mini-books. This technique will work while we're in Japan. We can make the mini-books, mount them on card stock and slip them into a notebook. It will certainly be easier to store too.

There are several freebies at Live N Learn Press. Maybe we'll find some lit books or such to do too..... Hmmmm....

Yes, I've tamed the Regional and Local PWOC lists enough that I have time to blog and enjoy school again today. I'm learning how to juggle and it's exhilerating. ::snort::
