One of the many reasons not to wrestle with sister in the bathroom! Luckily we have a fiberglass tub and not cast iron!

Why, Oh Why, Oh, Why?

Can anyone tell me where that quote is from? Winnie the Pooh! When he gets stuck in Rabbit's door because he ate so much honey. And Rabbit asks in a very tired voice, "Why, oh why, oh why?" Anne took this picture the oak tree in a neighbor's field. I love this tree. I am tired folks. Physically, bone weary, mentally. . .spent. Sometimes people ask "Why is it that you homeschool if it takes so much out of you?" Sometimes I ask myself the same question. It is a good question to ask from time to time, to evaluate where you are and where you are going. Lately, however I am finding myself asking it on more regular intervals and with more of a groaning voice in my head. (Maybe more of a whiny voice) I find myself asking as I am trying for the upteenth time to get my son to answer "what plus 2 equals eight?" Which on a side note I have to put it in a silly high pitched damsel in distress voice because he wants to ...

"In The Meadow We can Build a Snowman. . ."

. . .And we can call her Lindsey Vonn. . . So the Olympics may be influencing our kiddos. What is this? That is what many people in the Portland area are saying right now. You see, here in the Clackamas/ Willamette Valley by the time the middle of February, people are turning over the gardens and if they are really ambitious, starting early cold weather crops. By Mid February spring has sprung my friends. My neighbor had daffodils blooming. And then this started happening! Do you see the look of confusion! I think this is a huddle to figure out how to handle all this. This was the only brave chicken. "Can I eat it?" This is Starlight, he is not amused by the snow. By morning this is what we woke up to! Yipee!!! This is happy winter weather. Much nicer than grey and wet. We call this our Narnia Lampost. Remember Starlight? He ...

Christmas is TWO DAYS AWAY!!!!!!!

It's looking very festive around the house right now. While I write this, part of my brain needs to stay focused on the gingersnap cookies that are in the oven. I am notorious for trying to multitask while making cookies. This usually ends up with the last pan of cookies burning. Since I am only on the second pan, I should be ok. The kids decorating skills have improved greatly since last year. (Be back in a minute, need to check the cookies. . .) Ok, still good. Remember this guy, in the last post declared that shirts are not manly. Well, his tune has changed in the past week. Now he only wants to wear button down, collared shirts! This kids fashion choices are going to give me whip lash. Truffles waiting to be dipped. I wouldn't be surprised if while the are sitting on the counter, one or two, or ten disappear. We may have had an blizz...
