Children's Museum

This post is pictures that were to be taken at this trip but I forgot my camera. The picture trip actually took place July 14th. I know, I know. I'm A LOT late in blogging.

K girl leading singing.

C pretending. Crazy child.

One of the exhibits was Rock Stars, Cars, and Guitars. I thought this was such a pretty car. It belongs to someone famous. Not sure who.

A wall of famous guitars.

The other exhibit was Etch A Sketch. I was excited about this one but was somewhat disappointed with how small it was. They had a lot of examples of pictures and some commemorative ones as well. This was supposed to be the world's largest Etch A Sketch. To me it just looks like a bunch put together.

Toothless

My C finally lost his first tooth! I thought he would never lose a tooth! I know 5 years olds that have lost at least one. And no, I don't remember if he got his baby teeth late.

I so wanted to get a video of him actually pulling his tooth out. No luck. Instead, he and Daddy were sitting at the table and he calmly said "It's out." Then he realized what he said. (with much more gusto): "It's out!!!!"

He knows there is no such thing as the Tooth Fairy (are you kidding?!?! This is Mr. Literal. I NEVER would have been able to convince him of that) But he still thinks he need something for that tooth. So I told him to put it on the table and in the morning something would be in it's place. Then he wanted to know what I was going to do with his tooth. "Probably throw it away." Him: "no mommy no! I want to keep it." Seriously? GROSS. C will probably be on that show one day. Ya know "Hoarders: Buried Alive." I asked what he was going to do when he got married--move his teeth into his house with his new wife? Me: "She's going to open this baggie..... "no mommy, a box" with your teeth in it and say "ooooo gross!" "No she'll say, awww how sweet." Oh dear! Help!

Misc. K "stuff"

And here is K's randomness.

Cracks me up. Princess crown, dress, shoes. Woobie and thumb in the mouth. Nice.
Sharing thumbs.

Princess? Spiderwoman? Not sure.

Such a cute scary face.

K is very jealous of her woobie. She doesn't want anyone to get it "hot." She only likes "cold woobies."

'Memeber C's boo boo? When we went to get his stiches out, both of the kids got a sheet of stickers. K wanted to have some sympathy for C and the bandaids on his face. But she wasn't counting on them hurting when she went to take them off. Made me laugh. She didn't think it was so funny.

K loves to "help" Daddy mow grass. I think she thinks she's actually mowing.

She always uses these backwards. Not sure what she sees. But she's usually looking for butterflies.

Misc. C "stuff"

In going through my pictures, I've come across so many "misc." pictures. I decided to dedicated 2 posts to "randomness." One for C and one for K.

Remember that bucket of Legos? and the monster C made? Here is his latest creation. Pretty good.

Not sure what he was thinking, but it will be a good black mail picture later in life.Every time I cut C's hair, he wants a mowhawk. So I cut it and after the picture, fixed it to "normal."

Posing. Nice freak boy.

All his bike "gear." Now he doesn't even wear it.

The First Day of School 2010

...........was way back on August 4th. I am way behind.

C is in 2nd grade. Hard to believe. He is doing A Beka's DVD program again this year. His teacher is Mrs. Chappell. The order is a little different than last year and he actually has spelling tests this year. So far he is doing really well (good?). The lowest grade he has gotten on any test--so far-- is a 94%. The beginning of the year is A LOT of review. I think they are slowly coming out of that. I think he will really enjoy school more when they start science or history. He enjoys that kid of stuff.

K started in K4 this year. Her teacher is Mrs. Wasser. Love her! K is having some issues with school, but I'm not totally surprised. What has surprised me is how much better she does when I teach her instead of her watching school. There are some days that I ended up teaching her and she doesn't watch that particular subject at all. Daddy has kidingly said "You actually have to homeschool this year, huh?" I don't totally mind; it's just been a mental adjustment for me. I wasn't expecting to do so much hands on. But, as everyone has reminded me "she's different than C and learns different." Another thing that surprises me is the fact that she really likes numbers. She loves to count! I'm hoping that continues on into elementary and forever.

PS: For those of you that think we started school early---we haven't had a full 5 day week yet. Sad? No, that's the benefits of homeschooling!
