Blog Hop
 What a fun way to get to know some new blogs! First things first-- a couple of easy recipes here. Now that you have been properly nourished (and I used that term lightly), won't you take a look around: I am a homeschool mom. You can read about the what and the why and the how and the what I wish I had known. You can meet my four kids in these posts: my 13 year old son, Spenser, my just-turned-10 daughter Reed, and my 6 and 5 year olds, Sydney and Macy. I can't leave out my husband, Jason and even one about my mom, who is the best! Mostly I blog about them and my faith , such as these posts. And church since I am a minister's wife. And you can't miss the post about Poop and the Mountain. It's a classic. Nice to meet you! Hope to see you again real soon! Do come back, ya hear? |

I was right

Remember here where I said my computer was an obsession. Well, it turns out I wasn't exaggerating. How do I know this? I lost internet access Thursday night and didn't get it back until last night. 5 days without internet, yikes! |

Unexpected Surprise
We thought we would miss the fireworks on the 4th of July because we had to pick up Spenser from Boy Scout camp. But because of rain which first delayed and then canceled the campfire, we were in the right place at the right time and got to see the display that the city of Manchester put on. The kids loved it:

Boy Scout Camp
Posted in Family
|
Spenser is at Boy Scout camp this week. Keep in mind that he just got home from youth camp on Friday, and left again on Sunday. He called me Sunday night on a friend's phone to tell me that his phone doesn't have a signal there, and please tell all his peeps that he is unavailable and don't waste their texts on him. I haven't heard from him since. OK I realize he is growing up and doesn't need his mommy, but hello?!? I need him. I know that the scoutmaster would call if something had happened, and so no news is good news, but I Just want to hear his voice and know what is going on at camp. Is it fun? Is he starving to death? Is he safe and not drowned in the bottom of the lake from his swimming and/or motor boating class? Ok, again, I know Mr. Neal would call me, but still. I emailed another scout mom with this: Have you heard from L____? I haven't heard from Spenser since Sunday night, and while I am sure everything is fine, it is strange that he hasn't called. His cell phone doesn't have a signal there, but he used someone else's Sunday. Her reply: L____ had to go to the hospital to get a few stitches, so yes, we’ve heard from him. Unfortunately, he did not give us news about Spenser. Why do I not feel better? |

Movie Review-- Kit Kittredge An American Girl
Posted in Movie Reviews
|
We went to see the Kit movie after church tonight. It was excellent-- the best kids' movie I've seen in a while. I only marginally like Kung Fu Panda and I hated Wall-E. But this one was great. My 5 and 6 year olds were a little scared when Kit did something mildly dangerous, but there was nothing offensive or family-unfriendly about the movie. My kids are fascinated with hobos, so having hobos in the movie was a big plus LOL. We plan to go back and take some friends-- it was that good! And I stayed awake for the whole movie, which is more than I can say for the Panda movie. |
