Easter 2012 - Part 4

Really, this is my last installment from our trip! Maybe I'll actually get back to writing about stuff I'm thinking about and doing some park reviews again. In the meantime, back to family news!

Our last few days in SoCal were special with my parents. We had some good times with Papa and Grandma at one of the local parks.

From this park, there happens to be a trail that appeared to take us back to Grandma and Papa's house. So, one day I had them drop us off and we would just walk home. It was a good idea for the first bit, but then we went the wrong way and had to double-back. I ended up taking turns carrying each boy on my shoulder on the way back, but we made it! It was a beautiful walk though. We enjoyed looking at snails, birds, and different plants. We also had to walk though an old gas and steam engine (outdoor) museum which was very intriguing to the kids.

Another day, we went to the beach. We decided to take the Sprinter train there which made the excursion all the more fun. The boys could not get enough of the water, and even though it was freezing cold they spent a good hour playing in the waves. Note to self: Next time bring extra clothes for the adults that have to chase the kids in the waves, not just extra clothes for the kids.

Finally, it was time to fly back to Seattle.

It was a great trip, and we get to do it all over again in July!

Little Disciples

As I've been learning more about Charlotte Mason and her methods, I've been thinking especially about what she means by "Education is a Discipline." As I was reading her thoughts on discipline from her Homeschooling series, I was particularly struck by the following quotation. Discipline is not Punishment ––What is discipline? Look at the word; there is no hint of punishment in it. A disciple is a follower, and discipline is the state of the follower; the learner, imitator. Mothers and fathers do not well to forget that their children are, by the very order of Nature, their disciples... How Disciples are Lured ––He who would draw disciples does not trust to force; but to these three things–– to the attraction of his doctrine, to the persuasion of his presentation, to the enthusiasm of his disciples ; so the parent has teachings of the perfect life which he knows how to present continually with winning force until the children are quickened with such zeal for virtue...

Styrofoam Tray Shrink Art

Making styrofoam shrink art was one of those fun childhood memories I have from being a kid. My mom would clean off the meat or veggie trays from the grocery store, give it to us kids to draw on, then we would watch in awe as our creations shrunk before our very eyes in the oven. I really wanted to do the same thing with my kids so I (silly-me) tried to find a tutorial of the sort on the Internet. I did this mostly because I didn't know the temperature the oven needed to be or how long it should be in there. Maybe it's just me, but I couldn't find one! The closest thing I found was this website , but there were no pictures or anything. I decided to wing it - it couldn't be that hard, right? And, yes, this craft is super easy. First, I gave the boys a clean tray and a bunch of markers for them to draw with. I had to convince them to color a lot since they were only making small markings. We put their creations on an aluminum-covered bak...

A Brand New House

Another major thing we did while my parents were here last week was a major room change in our house. It feels like a brand new home! We have a play room, the boys are now sharing a room, and Phil and I have moved into Button's old room (which was really the library/office/nursery/catch-all room). I am so excited!!! I finally feel settled into this home since there is finally a place (or at least a room) for everything. The boys seem to really love sharing a room, and they are actually going to sleep better than they were when they were separate. It's fantastic. By far, I'm most excited about our play room. This room comes right off the kitchen, and it used to be our master bedroom. Now, we have our books and toys in it which keeps our living room so. much. cleaner. This room will eventually become our homeschool room with some minor improvements in a couple of years. In the meantime, we are enjoying the extra space to play ...
