Still surrounded by boxes.
Still sleeping in sleeping bags piled on the floor.
Still moving furniture from over here to over there (and a little more to the left, please).
Still asking on an hourly basis “Have you seen my (hairbrush, shoes, pencil, bread knife, this, that, the other thing)?”
And yet, amongst the chaos, life goes on.
Same as [...]

Because I don’t want to leave that last post up and look like I am begging for votes (I’m really not) and because the blog has been relatively quiet lately, I thought I’d post a little about what we are up to.
Mostly we have been on a Shakespeare kick. WHY??? No idea really, but who’s [...]

It’s bone day at Lapaz, where we’ve pulled all the skeletons out of our closet for some Halloween fun!
On the bony menu:
First, a lively round of Skeletons in the Closet game, which is loads of fun.
Then we’ll take a look at the Life Size Human X-Rays, which, since they are taped up on the windows [...]

Sorry I have not had time to post about the Haloween stuff like I promised. We’ve been so busy here, with all of the usual, but mostly with Superboy’s project for marine Biology (more about that later).I honestly don’t know if I will get around to one big post about Halloween Montessori activities, probably just [...]

Things just keep on keepin’ on. I’ve been a little under the weather lately, but that doesn’t mean life stops, right?
There’s still plenty of productivity going on.
Like pyramid building…
Fossil digging…
Pizza making…
Wordsmithing…
Taste testing…
(mamoncillo)
pH testing…
fun.
You know. The usual.

Sorry we’ve been so spotty with the posting lately, but things have been crazy here lately. Good crazy, but crazy nonetheless, so I am glad to finally be getting back to a normal routine.
Really good day today for our first official day back to school. The kids are eager to dig in to their new [...]

The mice will play!
Superboy was off with his scout troop the other day, so JBug and I were busy, busy, busy following her interests.
It all began with a simple question ( prompted by a veggie tales song).
“Mommy, why do I have a belly button?”
(Hmmm. Have we not discussed this yet? Amazing the things we forget [...]

Yesterday was the third and final day for Superboy and JBug to complete the challenges I issued to them on monday, so they went right to work.
Superboy wasted no time in setting his solar still out for a full day of sun. Concerned that he would not have enough water for the taste test by [...]

Today we had intended on getting to work right away continuing our challenges from yesterday, but we got distracted by breakfast with dad at IHOP, a lovely morning beach-combing walk, and a trip to the library. Then once home a brief rain shower delayed the start-up a bit longer, but eventually…
…the sun came out and [...]
