Hi, Mom.
By the way...
  • The Man went to retrieve my boy from a drama rehearsal, and my girl is cooking our dinner. I am going to knit a sock, and I am happy. 06NOV09
  • Me: "Quick, JM! Principal parts of dormio!" JM: "Dormio, dormire, dormivi, dormitus! Ha! Bring it, Mama!" 06NOV09
  • Goobs finished math and reached for the Henle books at the same time. Chaos ensued. Order has been restored; extra books have been ordered. 06NOV09
  • Just finished watching Stranger Than Fiction w/ my Goobs. Now JM is dusting off his guitar and A is writing in her notebook. 05NOV09
  • On the way out the door: JM: "Bring back some Coke?" Me: "No, but if you memorize all that Greek you can have a Diet Pepsi." JM: "Cool!" 05NOV09
  • A is finished w/ math and so excited to be starting Henle Latin! We're using the MODG Latin 1 syllabus, but we're spreading it over 2 years. 05NOV09

    These are lovely! We enjoyed making some from the Klutz book one year. They are as wonderful as real flowers.

    Yours are much prettier and detailed than the ones that I made with the boys a while ago. Nice job!

    My first memory of tissue paper flowers is from a trip to Six Flag Over Texas when I was about 8 or 9 years old. They were huge and bright and I had to have one. Kept that thing for years.
    Your flowers have taken it up a notch. :)

    The last time I tried making those I was in something like 5 or 6 grade in Girls Scouts!! That would put it as the late '70s!! Your's look great.

    Perfect day to go browsing thru your archives! I've been looking for inspiration for tissue paper roses to decorate my Christmas tree, and here it is.

    (Have I mentioned I love your photography? It's so cheery and fresh.)
