Gross Me Out!!!

You see those two studious chaps? They're taking care of a little science homework that this homeschooling mama refused to participate in. What could be so gruesome and gross that I couldn't handle it? Well, this...
This little, ole McDonald's Filet-O-Fish box (that Superman threw in the trash when he mistook it for trash, that I then had to dig out of the trash can) contains the most icky science project ever!!!
A MEAL WORM (that later turns into a black beetle, and lives off oatmeal and water from an apple.) And I know this, because despite the fact that Superman and W were responsible for holding it, measuring it, and counting it's segments- I somehow ended up with the responsibility of caring for it and making sure that it didn't die!

And by the end of the week, I was shouting from the rooftops that me having to care for the meal worm is exactly why we will not have anymore pets at our house! (Until my precious joys are ready to take care of them themselves!)
AMEN!

P.S. I love the science class co-op, I just don't like a meal worm living in my kitchen for a week!!!

Batter Up!

My littlest joy's baseball team had picture day today. And of course, I was there with my camera ready. I've anticipated this day all week long. His uniform has been washed and ready for days now. My camera battery was charged and ready. And all I had to do was make it to the field by noon for their scheduled time.

No big deal, right? Because I'm never late to anything! Punctual is my middle name! (and pigs are flying as I type this)

So I had everything planned and ready, and plenty of time for a quick soak in the tub. Because all of my soaks are quick. Right? But when I got out and started getting ready, I glanced at the clock... then nearly had a heart attack. It was 11:47! I had a head full of wet hair wrapped in a towel, and not a stitch of clothes on. And my littlest joy had not even begun to put on his uniform. To say I had lost track of time would be a mild understatement!

Yet somehow, we miraculously made it to the field by 12:02! It must have been a God-thing!

Happy Mother's Day

For Mama & Nannie~ I found some fun photos and thought I'd share them with you for Mother's Day! Enjoy!
