Digital Camera Love

Jake is taking a photography class this fall at Co-op. He is thoroughly loving all the different tips and challenges that his teacher is giving him. I love to see his excitement and I can’t wait to see some of the photos he’s going to capture! Wouldn’t it be neat to have a digital photo frame to showcase his work in…what a way to boost his self esteem. I just know he would be thrilled!

Now, Belle is not old enough to take the photography class, but I still let her take my Kodak digital camera out in the backyard to catch some nature shots. She will often come running in the house searching for the camera so she can “capture some nature”…that’s what she says! Lol! I would never had let her do this with the old type of cameras….that would be wasting film, right? Lol!!

Anyway, I love having a digital camera. It has given my family a neat way to be creative and appreciate the world around us!

Peanut Butter Head

Was this necessary?? I mean really...did we have to smoosh a peanut butter "samich" on the side of this sweet kid's face?? Obviously, my eldest son would say a big ol' resounding YES!

Now, do you all see why I need to take a vacation to the Virgin Islands...without my peanut butter samich smooshing kidlets????

Easy Grammar for Jake

Ok...I'm going to use Easy Grammar for Jake's grammar this coming year. I already have a copy of the book but I was checking out the website and I've discovered that there is a NEW book....sigh....I hate that, I really do! I have a problem when I know that I am using an older edition...which in all honesty works fine. Grammar is grammar you know...you still capitalize proper nouns and you still have to use the proper form of helping verbs..blah. blahblah, blahblah...It's just that I feel like I'm missing out on something if I don't have the latest edition....ughh....why am I such a curriculum snob??

Btw, Jake will be doing 6th grade grammar not 4th grade...I just liked the pink book!
