ooohhhhhhhhhh

Did I mention......?

I should have.

Should have been the first thing I did was run to this blog when I found out over a week ago.

Sorry if I left you hanging.

The child who "is not a bully", the child who Punk was "looking for conflict with", the child whom the school director emphatically claimed was NOT the source of Punk's bullying issues - was finally asked to leave the school. They won't confirm it - but three sets of parents have.

She was biting people - and breaking skin.

You heard me folks - 11 years old biting people until they bleed.

Good thing the principal chose our family to allienate. Good thing they kept the rabid family happy.

torn

I am torn between two blogs. (Actually if I am being honest, it's probably more than that).

I am not sure if I should post more often here, or at the new DAYDREAMERS. Punk likes the new one because he's done all of the artwork, but Kooka likes the tradition of this one.

Hmmmmmmmm.

Any ideas?

punk's you tube

This is Punk. I think these videos are HYSTERICAL!



And this one

help zachary

I do not know this little boy or his family, but I heard his story, and know that if this were Punk, Kooka or Yoda - I'd want this story on every blog I could find.

Please help spread the word to help find a new kidney for 6 year-old Zachary.

HELP ZACHARY

punk's piano

We love Punk's piano teacher! She is just what he needs - fun, but still knows how to keep him on task - and look at what he can do after only 4 lessons:

new digs

I am thinking about starting a new blog that is more specific to homeschooling ideas and how we live.

If any of you would care to check it out and give me your opinion on what you like and what you don't, I would be eternally grateful. Like I said - I am just now getting the skeleton of it down, and plan to transfer some posts, and update more education/travel stuff there - I'll keep the family fun stuff here.

Anyway . . . please go check it out and let me know what you think (on this blog please - I check this one more often). Thanks!

new daydreamers

does anybody else think this is creepy?

baby clothes

Oh please, please, please put this on my non-existent baby registry.

Yesterday, as I sipped my mocha and strolled through an unnamed store looking for yard furniture, I stumbled onto a section of baby clothing. Don't ask what the onsies were doing right next to the garden gnomes - it was just that kind of place.

But I digress.

I could not believe the sheer volume of baby camo that is available in the state of Minnesota. It's true - there were at least four racks of it. There was digitized army camo - in case your baby is deployed to the desert, oak leaf camo - perfect for leaving your baby in a decaying pile of forest compost while you stalk a 10 point buck, and even toddler-sized camo backpacks - in case your 18 month old is planning to ambush a government building and needs to lie low in the woods for a few hours with his pipe bomb equipment.

For real?!

Who needs to camouflage their baby? I had enough trouble trying to find mine half the time!

And I can't begin to fathom what this little dress means. It's for a 6 month old, and in case it's tough to read, says, "Daddy's Little Deer." What?! I get the whole play on words thing - but what is it really trying to say? Because let's not forget that anyone who buys this for their kid is the type of person who will, after consuming copious amounts of Schlitz Malt Liquor, spend hours crouched in a tree during a bitter Minnesota winter, just for the opportunity to pop a cap in said "deer." Might as well just paint a bullseye on the back of this thing, and call the taxidermist now.

Unless you hear that baby Yoda is up for a role in "The Hunted 2" - there's really no need to give us one of these - ever - no really - I mean it.

no surprise

It's really no big surprise - considering how talented everybody is, but STILL, Punk and Kooka were thrilled to find out that they (along with their dad & the extended crew) actually WON the whole peeps contest.

They got a full page spread in the Sunday paper, and were crazy excited.
