60 foot long penis painted on roof


Quote from BBC News Website:
An 18-year-old has secretly painted a 60ft drawing of a phallus on the roof of his parents' £1million mansion in Berkshire. It was there for a year before his parents found out. They say he'll have to scrub it off when he gets back from travelling.


Hhhhmmm maybe Lloyd and I should check our roof to see if Chris has done the same to ours out of revenge after his recent behaviour and punishments ;)

I wonder if people are laughing from the planes as they fly over our house into South Cooking Lake.....

Homeschooling Blog

The homeschooling blog HAS been updated - no idea why it says it hasn't been updated for 7 months (lol) as it has been updated quite regularly :)

If you don't have access and would LIKE access then just let me know your Email addy and I'll send you an invite! It's just a blog that lets you know what we've been up to with our homeschooling and also includes useful links for crafts, activities and homeschooly ideas etc etc.....

ATC's......



Some ATC's I've been working on....

London Fog

Drove to two Starbucks last night - first one was closed as the girl had put a sign up saying she was back in 15 but the time she had put was actually in 25 (obviously crap at math lol) so we drove to another......ordered a London fog and was so excited as I LOVE them.......we get to Wye Road and I take a sip and it is GROSS........YUCK.........NASTY :(

I was soooooo disappointed :(

Just goes to show that it really does depend on who makes it for you :(

A really crappy ending to a pretty dismal day :(

(no offence Val lol it WAS nice to see you)!

Spring Break update...

I got some new math workbooks for Abigail this week - one on time and money - just to see how she could do with that - and I was really surprised at how well she did - I mean she has always just sued money and I never really thought about 'testing' her on it - she just used it in 'life'.......but she just knew all the names of the coins and everything without asking and then with the clocks she just knew all the times and everything with both analogue AND digital!!! I was really surprised!!! Yay :)

Our days have the same routine generally - mornings are spent with the children doing their 'schoolwork' Abigail can choose what she does as long as she does a variety each day and as long as by the end of the week she has done a good variety of work - some math, some science, some language arts, some social, some art, etc etc etc.......and she LOVES to help Sam with his too.

Because of the renovations we have going on home-renos.blogspot.com/
we are still having to stay upstairs and so we all do our work in my bedroom either at my table or on the floor, which is less than ideal but we get it done - hopefully it will only be a few weeks now until we can use the table and island downstairs. For now though we can't do many crafts or anything too messy which is limiting and means we can't have too much fun :( but Abby has done a little painting still.

We still go swimming regularly and we go to Kidz Quarterz (the indoor playground). I will be glad when the snow has gone and we can get outside more. the children like to go out and sled now that its warmer though and at least now the snow is wetter they can build snowmen!

I've been through the checklist of things Abigail needs to know before the end of the year - and the things I wanted her to do before the end of the year and there are just a few more things I want to cross off - so I'm heading to Education Station tonight to pick up some supplies....I want some 3d shapes for sure.....She needs a new Social book to work through too. Maybe one on the Inuit so we can use the Inuit books we already have! Or maybe one on maps.......hhhmmmmm

working on the diorama



Abigail continues to work on her wild horses diorama...

planting seeds...




We planted all our indoor seeds this past weekend - Sunflowers, Lupins, Echinacea.....as well as pumpkins, watermelon, tomatoes.

The watermelon have to be pollinated, so we had to plant both make and female seeds and our bees will then carry the pollen from one to the other once they flower! One of the Lupins has already sprouted!

Paper doll


Abigail and her paper doll that she had fun with this last week...

Creative art envelope.....



This is an envelope I decorated for a 'creative mail art' swap at swap bot. I had to decorated two envelopes and then write a letter to go in each......one headed off for the States and the other for Germany....I based mine on Springtime.....I had a lot of penpals as a teen and always decorated the envelopes before sending them...so I enjoyed doing this swap! The blobby mess in the middle is just where I've edited out the addresses for privacy ;)
