Being Creative Can Make You Laugh

I gave 3-D Master a colored pencil for some work this morning and Master C said, “hey that’s my pencil.”  Before he had time to get too mad, I said, “It’s been lying in the drawer now for six months without as much as a touch.  It needed some fresh air so I decided to give [...]

Busy Busy Busy

There is a song from the CD/Book Phillidelphia Chickens sung by Kevin Kline. Its called “Busy Busy Busy.” Its one of our favorites to listen to.  He sings it so fast it makes your head spin.

It’s Not Your Father’s CPR

I took a class this morning to become certified in CPR and First Aid and I can’t believe how much it has changed over the years.  To be honest, I was dreading the class.  It was 6 hours loooonnnng.  But, I was greatly surprised.  The trainer was engaging and made it so much simpler than [...]

We worked all day Sat. tilling and pulling weeds [...]

Conjunction Junction What’s Your Function?

 
Do you remember this cartoon?  I was teaching 3-D about conjunctions for english this morning and thought back to my childhood and had to find this cartoon to show him.  The only thing I could remember about the cartoon was the jingle, “conjunction junction what’s your function.”  Nothing else stuck.  Isn’t it [...]

"Bring the Rain" by Mercy Me

the way.”
My mom sent this via email the other day. God really does answer prayer! And my Mom really loves me! What else would a Mother who loves the Lord and her [...]
