Steamers and Sunshine
Posted in California, Janie, Susanna on Oct 19th, 2016
Somehow it doesn’t seem quite right to be getting pumpkin spice steamers while wearing our lightest summer clothes, but we’ve got to make it feel like autumn somehow!

Introducing Grandma to Underwood Farms!
Posted in California, Elizabeth, Friends, Homeschooling, Janie, Susanna, Tommy on Oct 14th, 2016
Our homeschool pumpkin patch field trip happened to be today, so we drove straight from the airport to the farm and brought Grandma along on the field trip! This was the fifth year with this crew, and the kids love it just as much now as they did back then. The weather was perfect, a […]
Go, Purple Jaguars!
Posted in California, Susanna on Oct 5th, 2016
Malibu AYSO is so chill. And there are hardly any girls playing U6. So Derek is coaching a co-ed team in which Susie is the only girl. She picked the team color, and the boys picked the name. Go, Purple Jaguars! Save
Nature Study at Our Doorstep
Posted in California, Elizabeth, Homeschooling, Janie, Susanna, Tommy on Sep 27th, 2016
I picked oceans for our science theme for the year (for obvious reasons). Yesterday it was over 90 by 10 am, so we rushed through school and headed out to Malibu Lagoon (hadn’t been there in five years!) to do some nature study. Note our condo in the background–little light colored splotch in the mountain […]

Medieval History+Illuminated Manuscripts Exhibit at the Getty=Homeschool Field Trip, Of Course! We hadn’t been here for three years, and the kids got way more out of it this time. The family room even had a whole illuminated manuscript activity station, so we got to hit the main point of our field trip twice. Can you […]

The Cobbs Visit Malibu!
Posted in California, Elizabeth, Family, Janie, Susanna, Tommy on Sep 14th, 2016
Kaitlyn and Kelly had visited us before Henry, back when we lived in TO. Today they made it to Malibu! Henry was even cuter than when we last saw him in July. I’m doing a pretty good job of getting these kiddos to the beach on an almost weekly basis of late. Couch full of […]

Second Week In
Posted in Elizabeth, Homeschooling, Janie, Susanna on Sep 8th, 2016
I haven’t been very good about taking pictures now that school is back in full swing. On Wednesday, when the formal schoolwork was done, the big girls joined Janie with the Lumi-doh that Aunt Terri got us a long time ago (seriously, that stuff lasts forever!). I’m still trying to figure out how to deal […]
Second Day of School
Posted in Elizabeth, Homeschooling, Janie, Susanna, Tommy on Sep 2nd, 2016
The kids got excited about castles as I was reading aloud their history overview, so they started building and I scrambled to pull up Our Island Story for them to listen to while they expand the castle. This year’s theme: Mommy can be flexible with lesson plans!
