Seedlings and Randomness...

Pics of our seedlings. We (read "I") forgot to label them so we will have to wait until the mature to figure out what's what. LOL Anyway, here are the pics.

Here are a couple of random bonus pictures for your viewing pleasure...

Absolute Organics

I just received my $40 box of organic fruits and vegetables and I must say that I am quite pleased. Everything looks so delish, and I am ready to eat, eat, eat. I might have to order another box sooner than later.

Our Egg Rolls...Kinda

This is our first attempt at making egg rolls. They turned out alright. We learned from some mistakes we made. For instance I knew they cooked fast, but it was MUCH faster than I expected so some of them a slightly more that golden perfection. The other thing is that I have allow more time for it to drain off from frying in oil. We used olive oil. All of them were stuffed with that broccoli slaw mix that you can find in the grocery store, but Sunshine and Spike had leftover chicken from a birthday dinner chopped up in theirs.

Sunshine preparing the egg rolls to go in the oil.

Spike trying to get over being sick. Yes, he still smiles a lot when he is sick. At least more than most kids I know. LOL

The taste test. They passed. I think because she made them. Deschooling is kind of fun, huh?

Art Class & Home Economics

Here is what we ended up doing. It was kind of an impromptu art class. I have to admit that I thought it was kind of fun myself.

This is DS pictures. The orange one is a man with a hat on. I have to be honest, I have no idea what the second one is. It has something to do with action figures and such.


This DD pictures. The first is a birthday cake made of cut up paper. The second is an umbrella with cut up paper rain. The third is her effort at not wasting paper.

This is mine. The first is a flower using the Pan African colors. The second and third are a woman and man with locks that I made.


All of our art work was made mostly from cutting out paper. DD is really good at drawing and I wanted her to try something different. I think it went well. The funny thing is that I felt like a little kid. I couldn't wait to show my Mom what I did. LOL So sad. LOL

Yesterday, DD made a strawberry pie from beginning to end. All I did was stand there and tell her what to do. It was SO good. I would have taken a picture, but we ate the last of it a minute ago...sorry.
