So Colin is done with "computer school" this morning and wanted to know what he was supposed to do next. I answered "Spelling". His response was "then what?" So I said "cursive". He said "then what?" And I asked why he always had to know what was next. So then I told him after that he could stand on his head and count to 300.
He asked if he could do that first instead. I have a picture...I'll post it as soon as I can find my camera wire.
About Me
- Amy
- Hi! I'm Amy. I'm a S.A.H.M. of 2 boys, 3 dogs, and a multitude of froglets in my tiny garden pond. We are a homeschooling family (the boys - there's not much hope for those dogs and the frogs do quite well for themselves). I'll getting around to finding a purpose for my blog eventually. Right now it's just a random collection of thoughts and rants about parenting, mostly.

decision day...
So...wimp or shrimp?
Whoops...that's the wrong election. That was George the elder. vs. Dukakis, way back when. Guess I'm showing my age.
It's not even 10 a.m and I'm already seeing articles about voting shenanigans, namely this article: http://townhall.com/blog/g/cf47766b-5a6d-44ab-95e7-ce60631bcadc&comments=true#Comment13259d2a-5dca-435c-a272-a8e89043e895 .
More later, maybe.

fall back
Where did my extra hour go? I seem to have misplaced it...
I kind of dread tomorrow morning. Rhyon will probably be up around 6, since he usually gets up at seven. Re-training him will be loads of fun. He's full of new words these days...one of the cutest is "choo-choo meegee"...which is a choo-choo movie and can be any one of his several train videos. It's adorable. He's also at least learning some manners from his brother (though it's obvious when he says "yes ma'am" that he's imitating Colin when Colin is being less than sincere. But hey...at least he's saying it, along with "thanks" and "no thanks", both of which he uses frequently--we hear "no thanks" a LOT at bedtime! He uses please less frequently...still requires prompting a lot for that one.
Halloween was kind of a bust. Well, the kids had a good time, but I forgot the camera so I didn't get a pic of Colin in his Boba Fett costume. He went with his granddaddy and dad to the downtown Byron trick-or-treat, then returned to trick-or-treat around Mom's neighborhood for the last 30 minutes. Rhyon REFUSED to wear the James costume I had for him and didn't want to leave the house, so we stayed home with Mom instead. He at least had a ball answering the door with her to hand out candy! He was so excited everytime the bell rang.
Next weekend I think we are taking the boys to Rock Ranch for Scout Day...hopefully I'll remember the camera!
