Science for 6 year olds

Me, reading from their science book- "In addition, crustaceans have two distinct body parts."
Jacob- "They have two body parts, and day stink?"
Joe- "Mammoths are distinct, cause they all died."

Pledge of Allegiance

A little bit of Grace

...cause that's all anybody can handle. :)
"Look! Me found pidar!"
(Spider) She gags at Joshua's boogie nose, but she has no problem with swishing a big, fat spider with her fingers then chasing the boys around the house with it.





"Mommy, take pic-ure me an-mals."



"Some buddy knock down me dine-soah!"

Quote of the day

"Some people are like slinkies - not really good for anything but they bring a smile to your face when pushed down the stairs."

Back to normal?





Monday and Tuesday went smoothly, everyone was feeling well. I was a little shaky yet and slow moving but we went about our day as planned. The kids were right on track with their chores and their schoolwork. Finally we can get back to our schedule and back to our lives.

Or so I'm hoping. One child never got sick. Is he just resiliant? Or are we not quite finished?

Visitors



We are still battling this illness. It has almost hit everyone in one way or another. Today it was Joseph and Courtney's turn. So, as you can imagine, we layed low all day. My dad called me this morning, wanting to come over for a visit. I warned him that it was "enter at your own risk" over here. But he wasn't afraid of our germs so we had a nice afternoon with him and Kassandra.
