No Pressure Preschool & starting FHC prep (Learning Notes vol. 3)

I don't have a system yet, y'all.  New house, new layout, no kitchen countertop space for a computer- all of it is making it super hard to get back into a groove.

When in doubt: learnin' notes.

Paul is seven, but a young seven.  Until yesterday, I wasn't sure if we would be doing First Communion prep with him this year or not.  Then all of a sudden he started with the questions.  What is communion?  Why does God say that?  Do you get in trouble after you go to confession?  But he wasn't asking me.  He was asking his sweet biggest sister and wow....my heart.

They actually went on a walk through the woods together, just the two of them, basically being like two kids in a book and me, watching them from the dining room, pinching myself because how could this be real life?

Today after he did his math he ran and found the 2nd grade CCD book we have and thrust it into Katy's happy hands.  Greatness.

These two.  Imma call it "aerobics chic."


Cecilia plays games on Starfall.com and pbskids.com and Mary watches over her shoulder, squealing with delight at nothing.  Whatever it is, it makes her happy.  And somehow she now knows all her letters and can count to 20 (Mary), so we'll call it a win.

How about some preschool science while we're at it?

the weather is...

birds are...

gravity is...
And now it's time for all of you to "learn" what it's like to get my husband to be normal for a photo:

Translation: impossible.

Even the dog is concerned.

(can you even believe that that is our yard?  I mean...commence self pinching sequence fo sho)

  4. Man, I commented hours ago but my phone must have done something wackadoo. Which is totally a technical term.

    I just love each and every one of your posts, Dwija. They are so inspiring, in a very peaceful way. Gentle teaching, sibling love, adorable photos of Chombat and Mary and Cecilia and ALL of the kids, and just general... peace. It does my heart good. Thank you for being you and for sharing yourself with us.

  10. Hello, my name is Miss faith, I'm from USA. I want to inform you all that there is a spell caster that is genuine and real. I never really believed in any of these things but when I was losing Garvin, I needed help and somewhere to turn badly. I found consultant.odia spells and i ordered a LOVE SPELL. Several days later, my phone rang. Garvin was his old self again and wanted to come back to me! Not only come back, the spell caster opened him up to how much I loved and needed him. Spell Casting isn't brainwashing, but they opened his eyes to how much we have to share together. I recommend anyone who is in my old situation to try it. It will bring you a wonderful surprises as well as your lover back to you. The way things were meant to be." you can contact the spell caster on ogbonispelitemple@hotmail.com he's very nice and great.
