Online Organization

When I get online I have my homepage set up to easily access the things I use to keep on track. I have some links in my bookmarks bar, but the ones I use most often are in my google bookmarks.

Just thought I'd share. I know it makes my online browsing much easier.

Naked

How do you teach modesty in a home with children who refuse to wear clothes. My 3 & 4 years olds have an aversion to anything on their body. I shiver looking at their naked bodies run thru the home. I think maybe they should have been born to a family who lives near the equator. At times I feel like a bad mom, wearing a sweater and sweatpants as they streak thru the school room. But as soon as I dress them they are standing in front of me naked.

I was hoping there would be a benefit to this nakedness. Potty training, one would assume, would come easy. However, it does not. The three year old has a small towel he grabs to clean up his puddles. At least he does that much.

I long for summer when this behavior is a little more acceptable and comfortable to the mom who is always chilly. But as trends show in this home, the naked phase will probably be over by then.

Spring Fever

Spring Fever has set in. None of us can focus on school work. Its the last week of the lesson plans so I have decided to take it lax. The benefits of homeschooling!!

I LOVE my school room. The big windows we can open and let the fresh air in. The sunshine warms us up. I do foresee fans in both windows for summer lessons. AM lessons :)

We went out to run some errands yesterday afternoon. My husband has gotten use to the "STOP" when I see something worth getting a picture of. He now does the same and will pull over if he see's something neat.

 well he saw this as we drove by. Very neat!! 

as I was walking back to the van I spotted this. 

 Then a lady came out and asked me what I was doing. I told her I was taking pics of neat things I saw around town. She said I didn't have permission. I kindly told her I didn't need permission. She said this is private property. I said I was on public property and didn't need permission. I was very polite but to the point. I thought about taking a picture of her but decided against it. If it was a crime 90% of those celebrity photos would never have been taken or published. I try to be respectful when taking photos. I almost never take pics of other people unless its ok. I am cautious of identifying things such as licence plates and mail boxes. 

Abigail is really working on her cooking skills. She made omelette's for breakfast. ( inspired by Bobby Flay) She did a great job!
