randomness
~Today is Chinese New Year. Fun times at Yinghua Academy!
~Josie likes hot sauce.
~I visited RiverTree school the other day. It is a Charlotte Mason School. How they do school there is very interesting!
~Lost. Season 1. I'm six years late, yes. It's addicting.
~I have been enjoying my Wednesday morning job at church. Love that I can take my kids with me to a job I get paid to do...and the kids love it. It satisfies the people-person side of me too.
~Steve started working overnights again. It's working better so far this time around.
~The kids have declared that they will be famous traveling singers (together) someday.
~Google Translate is fantastic!
~I want house plants. I need house plants!
~I continue to be refined daily. By God. It's hard.
~Reading aloud to Jeneva is very important to her even though she can read on her own. She prefers being read to. It's a relational thing for her.
~Josie is doing pretty much everything a tad bit earlier than the other two.
~I got a duvet cover that perfectly matches my bedroom at Ikea for $7.99
~Jude gets cold sores on his lips just like me.
~I love Frank Asch books.
~We are having orange rolls and smoothies for breakfast. I can't wait!
~We just Skyped with the Morse's in China, but the sound wasn't working.
~I just ordered the book "For the Children's Sake" on Amazon for 1 cent.
~I'm not really enjoying following the curriculum I have for Jude's homeschool preschool.
~We are watching "Heidi" as a family. It's good, but I wish we would have read the book first.
~We ordered ants for Jude's ant farm today. They will arrive in the spring.
~I have two loads of laundry staring me down right now, and the next episode of Lost. Better get to it! Steve will be home soon from Cub Scouts with the kid he mentors. G'nite!

well before midnight on new years eve...
We were with our friends, the Coronado's on New Years Eve. Here were the kids at about 9:00. Perhaps in a few more years we'll be able to make it to midnight. The mock New Years countdowns you can find on YouTube work fine and appease the kids, but just aren't quite the same as the real thing. :)

uncle mike
Who chases the kids around the house? Uncle Mike!Who scares them? Uncle Mike!
Who teases them and tickles them? Uncle Mike!
Who hangs them upside down? Uncle Mike!
Who puts them in laundry baskets and carries them on his head? Uncle Mike!
Josie is by far our biggest thrill seeker and became a huge fan of Uncle Mike this weekend.
