Third day of school.

Here’s the living room after we watched a video on Ancient Egypt:

And I should point out that we cleaned this room up completely last night. And this is what happened after one video.

And here’s a nice pile of laundry that’s been accumulating next to the basement door:

But hey — at least the handwriting books finally showed up.

And hey now…wait a minute…wait a minute…wait just a damn minute!…What’s THIS?

Ahh…the world map. And there we are.

Any questions?

    My living room looks like that everyday. How do kids make such a mess?

    Wait, you mean your floor isn’t clean enough to eat off of??? What kind of homeschooler are you! I’m shocked! Shocked I am!

    (uh, that was humor ;-)

    And the map? Made me laugh because I think I know what video you are talking about and I had to ask my 8 year old too. Don’t worry, she identified it (didn’t ask the 5 year old though . . . )

    Yeah, I have a question. Who gave you the keys to my house?

    I have messes in my house that look eerily similar to your first two pictures. The third picture can’t be from my house, though - our world map is still rolled up in the closet… waiting for someone to hang it up.

    Gosh, you homeschoolers are such slobs.
    My house looks very good right now. Of course, my father in law is visiting from Looseyanna, that might have something to do with it.

    Well, the floor was clean enough to eat off of last week, but then my MIL left, and two days later…VOILA!

    I had our map rolled up in a closet for months. Then I saw that video, and unrolled it quick. :)

    You call that a laundry pile? Ours generally reaches half way up the washing machine, and the whole laundry floor is covered. I wash everyday too, so you can just imagine the horror when Im confronted with that everyday. Maybe I should just have a bonfire! Anyone want to come watch?

    Gosh! That looks like my house. That’s why we do tag team house pick me up after school. The kids enjoyed it better when they were younger, I guess I will have to come up with another name to get them back interested. LOL! How do you like Hand writing with out tears? Where did you get that map?

    I like Handwriting Without Tears quite a bit. My 7-year-old is a lefty like me, so handwriting was a bit of a struggle. But HWT really made a difference.

    I got the map at a teacher supply store a few years ago. But you could get these just about anywhere I think.

    Hey Robinella,

    I’ve been having trouble commenting at your blog. Have you seen any comments from me come through in the past week or so?
