Today was the first day of the 2010 InHome Conference, our local homeschooling conference in St. Charles, IL. Jeff took the day off work to chaperone N and E, and the boys enjoyed an Art Extravaganza, Magic Show, live animal “critter corner” and an awesome Physics show. E had security notified of his presence before we even had a chance to digest our lunch! I’m sure this doesn’t come as much of a shocker to anyone. Read the rest of this entry »

Before his beloved violin teacher could get much further, N jumped in with his thoughts on the matter.
“There are four reasons I was grumpy today. 1) I didn’t get my full time at MRU (homeschool group). 2) I am thirsty. 3) I am hungry. 4) I didn’t get enough sleep last night. Oh, and number 5 is that my thumb felt weird which distracted me and I made mistakes.”
I am shocked he didn’t say something about how we make him sleep in the backyard and hunt for his own food. I’m not sure why his thumb felt weird, though he did complain about it for hours after hitchhiking home from violin.
