In my life this week…
If you missed my post yesterday, you’ve just GOTTA read about my encounter with a scorpion a few days ago:
Is That a Scorpion in Your Pants?
(…and YES, there really was a scorpion in my pants!!!)
In our homeschool this week…
We are studying Medieval Europe and the Black Plague.
My son is completely enthralled with the subject, but I must admit that I’m a little grossed out by how people lived back then.
Just a few little nasty flees, living on the backs of rats killed off thousands and thousands of people. — Amazing!!!
Places we’re going and people we’re seeing…
Next week I’ve planned a Girls Night Out with some of my favorite homeschool mommies. WooHoo! I can’t wait!!!
My favorite thing this week was…
I posted this pic of the AZ sunset (as seen from my front yard) on my facebook page yesterday, but I just had to post it again here!
It was, hands-down, my favorite thing this week.
What’s working/not working for us…
Can I confess that we’ve got spring fever, and everything seems a little “blah” for us this week? I’m thinking that we need to take a few days off VERY SOON!
Homeschool questions/thoughts I have…
I am getting ready to purchase Latin’s Not So Tough
Does anyone else use it? What do you think of it?
A photo, video, link, or quote to share…
Here is a (kinda gross looking) picture of a science experiment that we did to see how lava flows. I promised my little guy that I’d post it on my blog for him this week!

I read your post about the scorpion…I too live in AZ (for 13 years) and had never been stung by a scorpion until this year! Glad you are ok! Take care!
Sue,That picture of the sunset is unbelievable! God's creation really is amazing! We also tried the lava experiment this week. It really was not what I thought it was going to be but the kids sure had fun. I can't believe that you had a scorpion in your pants. I would have been so freaked out. I am glad to hear you are O.K. Have a wonderful weekend!Kimberly
Again, sorry about the scorpion ::shudder::That volcano thing looks fun. It reminds me, my oldest asked if we could make a volcano. I guess I better figure out how to make a volcano.
'A girls' night out with other homeschooling mums'….. Ooooh, the stuff my dreams would be made of. I guess a trip across the Atlantic is out of the question just to join you??!!and the sunset….. oh my. Speechlessly stunning
Such a BEAUTIFUL picture!
Your pictures…always take my breath away. OK, the science experiment…can you provide details? That looks like some serious science fun!Yes, we have scorpions here, too. I have not had one sting me, yet…but, they lurk in my home in Fall and Spring. I'll have to share a story about the first time I saw one…and what my husband said….another time!Thank you….for all of your help and your words of encouragement! You are truly a blessings!
Girl, I think we could all use a girls' night out! Enjoy yourself! What a beautiful sunset! Thanks for hosting, I love this meme! Have a great weekend.
humph! I did so leave a thumbnail!!! Happy weekend!
Oh Sue, you poor thing!! I think you remained very calm – my story would have to include fainting!! Just mentioning the word scorpion and I feel faint! I can't even imagine!God's creation is so gorgeous!! That picture is so beautiful – frame worthy for sure!With all our sickness lately, I am SO READY FOR SPRING!!!!!!!My daughter, Sarah, is using Level 2 of Latin's Not So Tough right now. It's very simple and user friendly. The later levels look the same way to me. We've also used Latin for Children Primer A – that one has worked really well for our very beginner Latin family
i trust you are fully recovered from the traumatic sting!
We took a field trip to Medieval Times in Atlanta today. While we were there we explored the dungeon a.k.a. Torture Museum. I really don't know what I was thinking. Oh. My. Goodness. To see how violent the Middle Ages really were– we really tend to glamorize it way to much. Oh and the chastity belt, just let me say that I'm so glad we aren't forced to wear those! Ouch- in big capital letters! Here's to no scorpion stings this week….
Blessings!
Great pictures! I totally have to try the lava experiment, my boys would love it! Girls night out – Yay!!! Love it, need one every other month!
Following you now! This was my first link up with you. Thanks.Here is a verse that you may appreciate:Psalm 65:8:) Janet <a href="http://www.homeschoolercafe.blogspot.comwww.homeschoolercafe.blogspot.com<br /> http://www.homeward4.blogspot.com
That sunset is gorgeous!!! I am looking for a Latin program. Can't wait to hear how you like Latin's Not So Tough.
Beautiful sunset!Ugh! Scorpions!! they make me shudder!! I have my own story, from my teen years, at my grandparents' home in FL….Had one in bed with me! Ick!!
That picture is amazing Sue. God working for sure!
I have a picture almost identical to that lava experiment one. We used the same dessert bowl and everything!
This is my first visit to your site and I love it. I am soo thankful there are other home school moms out there that blog about their home school days. I am in my third year and will be adding on another child next year, so I will be home schooling 2, yikes. I am so nervous. I am looking for guidance wherever I can.
