Gotta love home schooling. Recess consists of a bubble bath

That is all :)

Wow, that's embarrassing

I'd love to see the actual report.

Stop the Insanity!

Hey, you know, live and let live is my motto. Diffrent strokes for diffrent folks, Infinite Diversity in Infinite Combinations, vive la difference, and all that jazz. But this: Arkansas Mother Gives Birth to 16th Child, is just plain wrong. Not necessarily because of the number, or because she says she's eager to have more. No no no. What's wrong with this picture is that her kids are

Joshua, 17
John David, 15
Janna, 15
Jill, 14
Jessa, 12
Jinger, 11
Joseph, 10
Josiah, 9
Joy-Anna, 8
Jeremiah, 6
Jedidiah, 6
Jason, 5
James, 4
Justin, 2
Jackson Levi, 1, and
Johannah, 0

Sharing SHAring SHARING!!!

Looong day, but pretty good nonetheless.

• Got the kids to do schoolwork most of the morning (cheerfully!)
  
• Gave them a bubble bath
  
• Went to Cosmic Adventures for the afternoon, and spent about four hours there
  
• Did some reading, embroidering, sorting, etc while at Cosmic Adventures
  
• Justin went to Beavers and did his investiture thingy, wherein he recited the Beaver Promise ("I promise to love God and help take care of the world"), the Beaver Law ("A Beaver has fun, works hard and helps family and friends") and Beaver Motto ("Sharing, Sharing, Sharing" - though I must say that when all sixteen kids shouted out that one it sounded not so much warm and fuzzy as... Stalinesque)
  
• Took off for choir
  
• Probably going to bed now
