Such a Mess

Why is it that everything gets a whole lot messier while you are cleaning? I should be able to see an improvement in the house. I am not there yet! In fact, I can hardly walk through parts of the house for the boxes!! I would put them outside on the porch but it is raining. I do have them over to the side of the rooms so I have a path. I at least know that they will be leaving tomorrow afternoon!! I am really excited to be getting rid of all this stuff! It feels great!!

The Living Room Mana's Room

Happy Birthday!

Mana's 11th birthday was Tuesday!! We went to see the movie "Yogi Bear" with some friends of ours. We went to the 2:30 pm movie so we had the whole movie theater to ourselves! We had a great time!!

Mana loves this series of books!!Nook Color
Her dad got a Nook for Christmas
and she had to have one also!!

Another science experiment!

She loves doing science experiments!!

Cleaning!!

I am on a roll lately and a deadline!! My daughter's birthday is coming up soon and I wanted the house to be clutter free for her family party. I am getting there. My husband, daughter and I have all cleaned out our closets. I have cleaned out the two junk drawers in the kitchen, cleared a few book shelves, and cleared out half the kitchen cabinets. I could stay up all night boxing up everything to get rid of it. I have never been so ready to let stuff go! I hope Hannah Home comes to my house with an empty truck because I am going to fill it up. If they don't have room for it all, I will be strapping boxes to the top of their truck. It is NOT coming back into this house!!

Some of the boxes ready to go!!Two cleaned out junk drawers!!My Foreman, Bella.

Electricity & Magnetism

Mana loves doing the experiments in science. Here are some pictures from the electric charges and Magnetism experiments we did the other day. She is still making that balloon stick to my hair every chance she gets.

Ice

One negative to Mana homeschooling...NO snow days!! She got a little behind with everything that has happened the past months that she still did school every day this week when the public school kids where all out. I am such a mean mommy!! I at least let her go out and play in the ice!!

Christmas Snow 2010

I loved the snow we got on Christmas last year!! It was beautiful! Just enough to have a snowball fight and to melt away!! The snow (or shall I say ice) we got this week was not much fun. It was not good for snowball fights, building snowmen or making snow angels. Here are some pictures of our snow fun over Christmas 2010. What is wrong with these pictures?? The camera did NOT save me from getting hit with snowballs. I thought I taught her better then that!!
