Evil!

Do you see the evil spaghetti squash lurking in back of the beautiful, good fruit?

He's so evil that he couldn't wait for the microwave. While I was on the computer (remember the blogging addiction?) the other day, we heard a familiar **boom**. He had rolled off the counter for no good reason and fallen onto the floor where he cracked open!

But I had the last laugh. I dealt him several decisive blows with a butcher knife and put him in the microwave. No further explosions that day! muahahahaha!

So, today, HE is the failure.

Home Economics at Its Finest

Remember when I recommended that homeschoolers should take the week of Thanksgiving off so they have time to prepare for feasting and guesting on Thanksgiving Day? Well, when you're planning to leave for the whole week, you need to take 2 weeks off!


However, we can't spare that much time away, so we do the next best thing. Teach the kids to sew, and to shop using coupons, and to make cookies. And call it Home Economics 101.

Learning to make a packing list and pack your clothing efficiently is also part of the lesson.

And don't forget clean-up!

Christmas Project

This has been fun. Full of trials and tribulations and downright mistakes. In fact, I ran out of thread just as I finished the last stitches. I would have had to go shopping to get more---I had about 8 inches left over! Thanks be to St. Anne!

What that? You can't tell what it is? I think you get the gist. That's all you get because it is a present and you shouldn't be peeking! Lol.

We like how the American flag miraculously appeared in the corner. We didn't plan that. The kids want me to make one for them now.

Maybe after Christmas.
