Friday, April 11, 2014. Maple Tapping at St. John's. It's early spring . . . and the maple trees around here are giving out the good stuff. The kids and I joined some other homeschooling friends for a fun field trip to St John's (Outdoor) University. Big white buckets for all that sap. Here, Elin is using calipers to measure the tree trunk. Then there is drilling. It wasn't really that. Noisy, but Elin covered her ears just in case. The hole in the tree must be examined. Everyone had a taste. I kind of f...

Monday, August 19, 2013. Svea and Elin love to bike. Elin wipes out - a lot. Nurse Svea is always to the rescue! She washes the owie and dries it off. She puts a band-aid on it. She is a good big sister. 0 happy little notes. And the winner of the library summer reading program is:. What we didn't know was there there were six BIG prizes. Out of the thousands of entries, one of Svea's little slips of paper was chosen for a big prize. Svea named her puppet Jojo. Jojo and Svea are pretty much one unit.

Sunday, November 3, 2013. The Pee Wee (or, why I am still waiting on cowboy boots). Nate was wandering around on craigslist this summer when several ideas converged and all of the sudden we had this in the garage:. A motor. Old, yes, but it works! And then - plans. Plans for a boat. Nate is building a Pee Wee. It is a little wooden runabout that is about 7" long - for the kids. But it's for the. This is a practice boat. After Nate builds this one perfectly, he wants to build a bigger one. I saw my chance.

Tuesday, January 28, 2014. What we do on a snow day. As our local school districts continue to issue snow days because of the recent and never-ending deep freeze {central Minnesota guaranteed frost bite today in five minutes or less! We continue to plow on in our studies here at VSE Academy. Viggo did math on the floor today - and he was laughing a lot. Later I found out exactly what he was listening to: a cassette tape of Baby Snooks and Daddy. Fan and has Grandpa Daisy to thank for that! Bummer: a brac...

Friday, July 5, 2013. The girls and I went to Munsinger Gardens. Or as Elin says, "Munsinger's Garden" which later morphed into, "Woodsinger's Garden". The girls were on the lookout for treasures. Forget-me-nots peeking out at us. Elin kept us going in the right direction. Be still my bleeding heart. Strolling through the White Garden. I love the Purple Garden, and this beauty is favorite. Going to Musinger's is a beautiful way to spend the afternoon - I'm so glad the girls love going there too! The camp...

Monday, September 30, 2013. Elin completely took the street by storm late this afternoon! In just a few minutes Nate had her off and away all by herself - biking like a big girl! It was very strange to look out the window - and see Elin. Riding a bike down the street by herself. She only had a couple of tumbles and just got up and kept going. I constantly tell the girls they are tough. I'm so glad that message is sinking in (:. Elin, we are very proud of you! 0 happy little notes. Lake Vermilion - 4.

Friday, October 24, 2014. St John's Arboretum and Mulan Jr. Last week I got a text at 7:51 in the morning from my friend Amanda. Homeschool field trip with another co-op we don't belong to. St. John's Arboretum. There was room for us. The field trip began at 9:30 am. We hustled. Missing out on anything. Happening at St. John's truly feels catastrophic. Here is our group walking through the wetlands. About Marshwiggles, you will know that wetlands are where they live. The trees were so ridiculously beauti...

Wednesday, May 15, 2013. Llamas at the llibrary. And what John the Baptist ate. We went to the library last week to meet somebody special. The library was having a Llama Llama event with story time, dramas, crafts, snacks, a firetruck, and of course, llamas. There was a llama drama. And a llama rap. So let's...

Tuesday, March 25, 2014. The Mall of The 'Merica. This weekend we had much to look forward to! We were going to the Mall of America to enjoy our fabulous Christmas gift from Joe and Christina and baby Grace, which included tickets for the aquarium, rides, and staying overnight at a hotel. What fun! Every day for the past month or so Elin would ask, "When are we going to The Mall of The 'Merica? Countdowns we were finally ready to go on Sunday. First up was the mall's aquarium. Tunnels of fish. If you are...
