Today was a little trickier to document because we were out and about all day here and there and everywhere, busy. Which means we are relying on my mama mind to recall our dayâŚha ha! (Have I mentioned in the past Iâm fairly certain my memory was delivered along with my childrenâŚthey might of called it a placenta, but Iâm certain it was the memory section of my brain!
First thing this morning I had a SMIDGEN of mama time before my son woke up and we had to get ready to leave. I had to unfortunately urge my daughter out of bed and rush her along a bit.
While in the car (an hour drive today) My daughter was reading her insect fact book. She loves these types of books on insects, mammals, sea life, and all living creatures! She announces: I canât believe there is a MOTH that is pink, yellow and blueâŚit is so beautiful and it is a MOTH! Can you believe there is a beautiful moth mom?!?! My son leans over and reads the infoâŚhe tells her, yup, itâs called a Rosy Maple MothâŚ
Joke told by my kids: Do you know the difference between a preying mantis and a praying mantis? One has a bug between itâs hands. (not really sure if that is how the joke goes, but that is how they said it and they laughed!) Ha ha!
After that I listened to the music and they researched spiders. I did have to keep reminding them to look up to avoid getting car sickâŚsometimes reading in the car will turn them green.
A bit later I notice my son has packed the magnet toy in our car, so heâs still processing magnets and having fun with it. (I wasnât overjoyed when the magnets fought each other and shot all over the marketâs floor, but such is life when you are learning I supposeâŚhe now understands why itâs best to leave your toys in the car)
Directly entering Costco there are a plethora of TVâs, today was an interesting show about underwater life. Tomorrow we are supposed to research that show to see if we can get it and watch it in full. Iâd happily do that over researching a cartoon we discover at the entrance of Costco.
After our errands are complete, we meet up with some friends and play at the park, then head down to the beach. It wasnât really beach weather, but most of our kids still enjoy it.
I love how each kid stands so nicely in line waiting their turn. No one is cutting or complaining. It is just a peaceful cooperative queue of unsocialized homeschool kids. (Oh gees, there goes that sarcasm again, ha ha!)
Every time we get together with other homeschoolers, I giggle to myself at how silly the whole âsocializationâ concern is. These kids are so well socialized. The way they work out differences and handle situations is generally very impressive.
It is always a sensory experience to have your entire body buried under sand! And such a physical job for my daughterâs friend who was covering her up! (We can check on P.E. off for my daughterâs friend!) Ha ha!
Not sure what they are doing, but looks fun!
Looks like the kids have decided to play duck duck gooseâŚ
The mamas were enjoying a relaxing adult chat while the kids were running around.
While my son was enjoying a pizza party with his super brains club (three of the kids, my son included, were graduating today) I took my daughter shopping for what she lovesâŚjewelry!
A little boy was selling confetti eggs (6 for a dollar) on the sidewalk, so we bought some confetti eggs and the kids had fun smashing eggs on each otherâs heads!
Well some liked doing the smashing more so then getting smashed onâŚha ha!
This would be a loving tackle, she comes off as a delicate little flower, but that is her trickâŚwatch out, when you are least expecting it, she will get you!
After the beach and confetti eggs, it was BATH TIME! Which always ends up becoming some sort of water explosion, I mean experiment! (I have been known to line the floor with towels, because it doesnât matter how often you mention keep the water IN the tub to the children, that darn water still seems to leak out of the tub and all over the floor, sometimes the walls and on a rare occasion the water makes itâs way up to the ceiling!
Deal Making time: My son wants to watch a BEN 10âŚthe job is CLEAN YOUR ROOMâŚtrust me itâs a big job tonight!
We sneak in a little LIFE OF FRED MATH (my sonâs choice!) He is asked to build a house with right angles and he enjoys himself so much, he decides to build a basement and a basement vent and of course he has to leave the roof off because a roof isnât made of right angelsâŚhe takes his assignments very seriously!
âŚand a little practice with nouns, verbs, adjectives, etc thru MAD LIBS (love those!)
My daughter does some piano practice. I donât force practice on them, but neither of them like the rush of having to complete it all last-minute, so they generally do a little here and there each day. (as you can see in the background my son is practicing head stands in the chair! Ha ha!)
never a dull moment…kids are tucked in and it is my bedtime…goodnight đ
