Chuckle of the day

Link sent to me this morning by fellow homeschool mom, Therese. :)

Pious Sodality of...Marshmallow Shooters?

This is too good not to share. Should be a must-have for any family likely to be trapped indoors periodically.

Remember this Sesame Street song from the 80's?




Here's our version:

mmmmmmm...........

Logical question

"Why do they not fight on the sidewalk?"

That's what Matthew asked when told that in Romeo and Juliet, the Montagus and Capulets were in trouble for fighting in the streets.

Then, giggling, he said "When I grow up, I'm going to name one of my kids Romeo." And then, after a second's thought, "But I hope he will not be so angry and doing all those things to get in trouble."

Seasonal entertainment

The All Saints Day fun continues.

Context clues

Last week, Katie and Joseph both had language arts lessons that included using context clues to try to determine the meaning of new words. Yesterday morning, I had my own real-life lesson.

Matthew was helping me put laundry in the washer and bumped against the orange and white spray bottle on top of the dryer.

He looked up at me very seriously.

"Mommy, you're almost out of Yell."



I have to admit that it took me a minute.




Ah...context clues.

Need a laugh today?

I literally laughed till I cried reading this story from a dad of 5 kids via Amy Welborn's blog.

Enjoy!
