Little Real Estate Agent

I was looking at homes on-line.  Emma was watching over my shoulder.  Can you tell she’s been home-shopping with us?

Emma: That looks like a nice home.  I think I want to live there.
Emma: Does it have a nice neighborhood?
Emma: I think we should look at that one.
Emma: I think that’s off Hopkins road.

Livestock and Helpers

Matt: So, what did Job loose?
Luke: Well, pretty much all his livestock … except for his wife.

Mama: Hey, Foofie Poofie!
Ruth: I not Foofie Poofie.  I Foofie.
Mama: Are you also Ruth?
Ruth: Yes
Mama: And are you also Ruthie?
Ruth: I Ruth Susanna … or Ruth Cay-loo-line.
Mama: No, you can’t be Ruth Caroline.  Caroline is Emma’s middle name.
Ruth: I not Emma Cay-loo-line!  I Foofie Susanna!
Ruth: And Mama is Mama.
Ruth: And Daddy is the helper.

Homeschool Field Trip!

Today, we took our first homeschool field trip!  We visited the fire station where four very kind fire fighters gave a wonderful 2-hour presentation and tour to our whole group of little people – ten children ranging in age from 2 to 7 years old (not counting Robyn, who slept in the backpack on my back for most of the time).  It was a lot of fun, and we all learned a lot!
