Coming Soon …

March 26, 2012 By: amyswanderingcomment

It has been slow on this little blog o’mine for the last couple of weeks, but real life has been crazy busy!!

We took a week off for Spring Break and I tackled our ~~scary~~ disorganized garage. During this time, we also hosted an Irish Tea and High Kings sing-along for our Bible study group. A brilliant time was had by all!

Last week was a blur of preparation as I helped organize a HUGE benefit garage sale. It was a wonderful success and we raised $1500!!

I have a couple of posts in the works that might interest you:

~ For Works For Me Wednesday, I will be sharing my tips for pulling off a fundraiser garage sale.

~ I didn’t realize that it had been 2 YEARS!! since my last post on Household Notebook Printables. I updated the list last year, but didn’t re-post. I am working on a new-and-improved list that you are going to love!!

See You Soon!

A little peek into our learning room:

We are reading Grandpa’s Box leading up to Easter. It is the Story of Redemption in storybook form.

Learning about art is fun when you are Looking at Paintings.

These paper birds will look so cute scattered about the house.

~~~

Funny Girl is starting Romeo & Juliet with this free No Fear Shakespeare translation. I put together a folder of work for her from this wonderful site (webquest, vocabulary, literary terms, character map, and study guide).

I am thinking about letting everyone plant a Garden in a Glove.

What is going on in your little learning room?

To Catch a Leprechaun

catch a leprechaun

Have you ever tried to catch a Leprechaun? They are tricky little things. My kiddos set a trap every year, hoping to catch a glimpse.

The little stinker always manages to escape!

The only thing found in our trap each St. Patrick’s Day is a bit of his gold.

(The gold tastes surprisingly like Rolos!)

But OH the TROUBLE that pesky Leprechaun causes during his visit!!

He turns the milk and the toilet water green, hides things in odd places, and leaves a topsy-turvy mess.

A word of warning … should your Leprechaun decide to write on the toilet lid with a green dry-erase marker … no matter how many different cleaning products you try, it might still be there 2 years later.
