After the Rain

Ninety-two

Happy 92nd Birthday, Ned!  

This lovely bird always signifies that Spring has sprung.

This is, but a different color, what I drive.  Yep, I homeschool AND I drive a 15-passenger van.  BUT ...... MY KIDS ARE SOCIALIZED.  

This is not about me homeschooling and socialization and a 15-passenger van.  This is about that silly robin at the top of the page.  

This is not a picture of the actual robin that is terrorizing my life.  I waited to get a picture of it, but I think it knew that and refused to cooperate.

 The robin in question has taken to my 15-passenger van.  It hops from one mirror on the side of the car - across the top of the car - to the other mirror.  It doesn't care what I think.  It is leaving its mark.

I homeschool.  I have four kids - one elementary, one middle school, and two high-school.  I also help take care of my husband's father who has Altzheimer's (but that's another topic for another day).  There's lots of laundry, lots of sports, lots of school, lots of ....... you  name it.  Most of you know ALL of that.

The two high-schoolers are both taking their science course.  They both HATE it!  I'm thankful that they both take this from a place that offers home-school classes.  That means only one (1) thing ....... I DON'T TEACH IT!  My guy picks up the slack for me in this area - he helps them with Chemistry homework.  I'm outta the picture baby!

We use Apologia Exploring Chemistry.  I really love Apologia Science.

This is one of my fav-or-ite places in the whole-wide-world.  Just sayin' ..... homeschooling can be done anywhere.  And by the way, they ARE doing Chemistry here.  Well, okay, the two with their backs to you are doing Chemistry.  The one in the red, well, he's talking roller-coasters - that's physics of course.

And here ....

Ready for Color

I am ready for spring! 

Missing the Mountains

Letourneau University

We went on a tour of LeTourneau University.  They know how to make you feel welcome right from the get go.  We were very impressed with the entire place.
