BOB is now 9!

Today is Bob's birthday - I remember being in the hospital not having a name for him! We wanted to name him after Msgr Elmo Romagosa but I just couldn't name my child Elmo. After a couple a days we came upon his name. (the birth certificate worker kept calling us asking if we had a name yet - and we figured it was best to come up with a name before we left the hospital) While doing a little search while writing this post I found out that Fr Romagosa's father's name was the same as the name we picked for BOB!! how crazy is that?

This year I broke down and made Bob's cake.

Of course he wanted a Kirby(video game) cake.

Yesterday I had a few people ask me about the curriculum I use. They asked me to put a link on my blog like Wildflowers and Marbles. I have to say my blog (and my house) will never look like hers but that's OK because I like Jen and when I grow up I want to be like her. (ok so maybe I am already a little older)

I really like The Smart Seeds ebooks and I have Bible ABC's.

I like their illustration style.

I also use Noeo Science. We have really enjoyed using the Biology 2 and plan on using the Physics 2 next year.

Homeschool Picnic

I figured I wanted to be the first one to blog about our super wonderful picnic! One of the homeschool familied invited the whole Catholic Homeschool group to their house for an end of the year picnic. All I can say is thank you thank you thank you!!!

This was just such a fun day. - Oh I forgot we don't socialize
