Emptying out the camera and posting some pics to the site.
Here’s the first one. An action shot of the new mixer. Woooo!

Tomorrow starts our last week of school. We’ll keep on with a relaxed format for math, grammar and a few other projects but the bulk of it is done until August!
Last night at Focus service, Steve preached and opened his message with Alice Cooper’s song “Schools Out” playing over the speakers. Steve is obviously […]

Last week I posted about a letter we received from our county superintendent. I e-mailed HSLDA the information but hadn’t heard back from them until today. We weren’t the only family to complain. HSLDA is on it and has slapped the county back into line.
HSLDA and member families: 1
County: 0
Clarification: I neglected to write what […]

The BMV is an interesting experience. I still can’t figure out why it requires three offices in Ohio to do what one office can in Michigan. I told the kids that this could very likely be a long wait. Chief came with his Game Boy and Princess was thrilled to see the kids area in […]

KP suprised me this morning with the news that I’ll be getting a white KitchenAid Artesian stand mixer later in the week–Amazon didn’t get it here quite in time. He said he had something cooking for Mother’s Day/birthday but I didn’t know he meant actually cooking.
KP planted the mini rose bushes we bought yesterday. […]

Here are the pics from the Cincinnati Zoo as promised.

Sly thought this was great, a NRO contributor discovers target.
“I see,” he remarks, some hours later, when the children and I are showing off our heap of cheap Chinese products. Molly and the girls are twirling around in cotton skirts; Paris, in his new cheapo sneakers, is zooming his cars around under the dining room […]
