confession

I hate doing Science projects with four little people at a time.

I personally love math, I hate teaching it.


PHEW.
that felt better.

I think now we might actually be able to move on.


(for the record, daddy is taking over math, and science...well, I'm thinking we just need to switch gears next year and do a new curriculum there, until then....)

Do you have mathtacular? We got the movie with it's go along kit, love it. But I'm sure you already know about it as you are way ahead of me. We're only just taking kindergarten seriously now. :)

Hi Holly. I found you through Jody. Any friend of Jody's is a friend of mine. I too am a homeschooling mom of 4, 2 girls and 2 boys. My husband and I were on staff with CCC at the AFA for 6 years, so we know a bit about the life of a military family.

I too have a passion to fight for those who can't - to embrace justice. Would love to journey with you in this. We are just starting a non-profit Mavuno Market.

We live in Seattle. Where are you?

Girl...just so you know...you rock so much more than me! I don't cook or craft or clean or play games with my kids because I don't enjoy it with 3 small kids all at the same time. Only recently are modified games fun...the ones that I tweak so I don't go crazy. Cooking is happening now with one kid at a time...none of this group stuff. I am adopting someone's quote...."Life is meant to be enjoyed...not endured." I have been enduring for 7 years....and I am tweaking things so I can actually enjoy it! Kuddos for you tweaking school and having Jake do the stuff you hate so you can enjoy more! Love you girl!

OK, personally, I love science and the girls and I made some really cool slime.

2 cups school glue (about 4 reg size bottles)
2 cups water
Food coloring of choice

Mix until it's not sticky anymore

Dissolve
1 tsp Borax in 1 1/2 cup water

Mix glue mixture with Borax mixture, get your hands dirty mixing for about 10 minutes.

Keep in a Ziplock or any airtight container between uses. LOTS of fun
