Every year they invite artists from all over to display their sculptures in downtown Sioux Falls. They’re on display all year, but from […]

We headed to Grandma and Grandpa’s house for a couple of days today. We sang along to Tom Chapin in the car, stopped to do death defying and silly things (and to get a billion library books– we’re such book nerds!), and finally made it here. I have to go save Grandma and Grandpa from […]

Jack continues to push me to do kindergarten every day as much as possible. I’ve told him that we’ll officially start school next week and so we only have to do a little bit of school for now, just to appease him. He’s a demanding little guy!
A few things we’ve done the past couple of […]

…that we’ve done, seen, learned recently:
1. The Penny Experiment
We put 10 dirty pennies in 10 cups of various liquids and left them for 2 days. We talked about acidity and how Coke is supposed to eat the rust off of things because of how acidic it is. We had cups of things like homemade pickle […]

We’re back from Victoria’s first annual camping party. It was such fun!
The trip didn’t go off without any hitches. My car died on the highway about 5 miles before we got to the park. Luckily we had taken two vehicles since we were bringing two little girls, so Daryl was able to come back and […]

And 10 words…

We had a really great day at the Walnut Grove park on Saturday. They run special events on weekends while the pageant is running and the newspaper editor had asked us to come by at 1 so he could take a picture of Victoria with the Greenbush twins (I’ll be blogging about that later!).
Some […]
I'm a frazzled AP mom to 4 fabulous kids in rural Minnesota. Homeschooling here tends to be child-led and focused on fun. We do lots of crafts, reading and exploring. I'm madly in love with my brilliant, goofy lug of a husband and I don't get nearly enough sleep.
