Between Chloe’s gymnastics and going for her bike ride, Camille managed to sneak in a little homeschooling.
doctor who – 29 mar 2011
As I was reminded on facebook today, I have no idea about these shows the kids watch. I called him dr. who instead of doctor who. oops.
biking – 22 mar 2011
The girls went “biking” at Panola Mountain State Park …
camboodle – 13 mar 2011
Well, we tried to get more pouches up on Camille’s Etsy site. But first the SD card broke. And then her computer got a virus. Hopefully she’ll be able to get all these pouches listed soon!!
high falls state park – 11 mar 2011
We finally managed to get everything packed up and got out the door. The park wasn’t too far away, so we had plenty of time to register and pick out a nice site along the river.
dinner – 10 mar 2011
Camille made much of tonight’s dinner, which I modified from the “menu planner”. I didn’t use store-bought garlic bread but made our own. I used whole-wheat pasta and fresh broccoli. I’m finding it very easy to make the processed recipes into more wholesome … I hope I can continue to make minor adjustments….
unexpected benefit
as I wrote the other day, I’ve decided to start using saved menus from the meal planning service I had signed up for a year or two ago. Something magical happened. As these menus have simple *recipes*, Camille has taken to cooking dinner! She’s been making the homemade pizzas (we rely on her — she
camboodle – 7 mar 2011
Camille and I have been working out the details for months, and now she finally has an Etsy store, called Camboodle. So far, she’s put just a few pouches up there, but there’s more to come.
camboodle is here!
(Proud mama alert.) In the time it took me to complete a scarf (Hagrid-sized, however) with knit only (no purling here), Camille has managed to learn how to knit just about anything. In the eighteen months since she first picked up her needles, she’s made hats, socks, bags and more. She’s learned to wet felt,
chef camille – 3 mar 2011
Camille has branched out from baking and pizzas and has made us dinner two nights in a row now. Yum!
pizza night – 4 feb 2011
A couple of months ago, I decided that Fridays would be homemade pizza nights whenever we are home. Camille generally prepares the pizza dough. This week, she used a recipe recommended by a friend Best Pizza Dough Ever Recipe. She didn’t quite manage to follow the directions, but the pizza was very good … I’m
streetcar – 31 jan 2011
What to do on a gorgeous Monday in New Orleans with kids? The zoo, aquarium and insectarium are all closed…. We rode the Canal Street Ferry to Gretna and back. We walked along the river down to Cafe du Monde and had beignets. We wandered through the French Market. Now what? I bought us all
camille – 30 jan 2011
Camille and Chloe enjoyed hanging out at out friends’ house in Mississippi this morning. Not only were there nice trees to climb, but there were tons of beautiful camellias!
camille – 22 jan 2011
Today we spent most of the day on the farm in Maryland with our friends. Camille worked on learning to needle felt; Chloe played all day with the boys. We had a nice walk in the evening and rounded up the escaped rooster.
camille – 18 jan 2011
The girls are both very happy to be back home and back to homeschooling! It had been a long time since they had done lessons that they were missing them…
camille – 14 jan 2011
Once again, I couldn’t get the girls to a museum. It was pool, beach and (ugh) tv all day. Thankfully, mostly it was beach and pool. I even got to read half of my book while at the pool! I never want to leave. Days of work them beach and pool are my heart’s desire.
Happy Birthday, Camille!
As far as planning went, I did not a single thing. But, nonetheless, I believe Camille had a very awesome birthday! Time with her cousins, a fun concert, birthday cake, and even a couple of presents from her cousins…
Photo Friday: Warm
Photo taken on 17 Jul 2010. Warm isn’t hot. Right now, we are still HOT. The word “warm” makes me think of bundling up against chilly weather, and I’m lacking photos of that nature at the moment! Yes, I realize that it is not Friday, but Thursday. However, I’ve decided to begin submitting my weekly
Photo Friday: Best Friend
Photo taken in Panama City Beach, FL, on 8 Aug 2010. Yes, I realize that it is not Friday, but Thursday. However, I’ve decided to begin submitting my weekly contribution to the Photo Friday contest (not that my photos are in the same league with the other entries), and the submissions are due by midnight.
new blog
like mother, like daughter! Camille has been hard at work all this week scanning all of her manga drawings and putting them up on a new blog. I hope she’ll keep up the project now that she’s started it. Manga Transform
