These pics were taken this morning. I love homeschooling my children! Well, right then Daddy was, but it is so awesome to see their minds at work. My kids think one of the great things about being home-taught is that they can wear PJ's all day if they want.....and they do sometimes as you can see. LOL! The Littles were in and out of the room all morning checking out what Kei and Reub were making. They were VERY interested in how things went together and how they moved once they were together. Before long one of his sisters woke up and jumped in on the action. Learning for all! This Erector set was my oldest son's big Christmas present and he has yet to put it away. We love mixing education with fun and as you can see- the kids don't mind!

Cute Babies





My hubby is one of 12 children. In the past 2 years his sisters have had 5 babies and one more is on the way. I thought that this was a good post to stick up some pics of a few of my little nieces and nephews!

























































Avatar 3-D

I took my hubby and youngest son to see Avatar in 3-D as part of their Christmas present. My 6 year old had been begging ever since the first promo for it- so he was pretty stoked! My hubby, on the other hand, is not a movie kinda guy. So we had to drag him along, LOL! About 30 minutes into the movie my husband leans over and says "This is the best Christmas present EVER, babe!". The movie is THAT good. The special effect are amazing. We could not get over the fact that it was not real. That this whole world had been made up in someone's mind and with computers. The floating mountains looked so majestic. They were truly awe-inspiring. The only part that my husband thought was a little off was the name of the mineral that they were looking for- Unobtanium. Yep folks, you heard the name right. We thought that was a little silly for an otherwise fantastic movie. It did chintz it up a little. My son stayed awake for the WHOLE movie- all three hours of it. He was leaning forward with his eyes as wide as they would go for 95% of Avatar. This is a movie we will be buying and we are not movie buyers. We give it 6 thumbs up!
