I have so many little matters to tell you of, that I cannot wait any longer before I begin to put them down.

We coordinated with the Andersons to watch the Dodgers on dollar dodger dogs night. Because why wrangle just five kids when you could have nine in a row, with hot dog buying parents in the middle of the chaos? Annie didn’t care about the action on the field, but she clapped along at the good […]

Last week, we found out that some amazing World War Two aircraft were going to be touring the Camarillo Airport, so we met up with our usual Conejo Valley Homeschoolers crew for a tour! The timing was perfect, as we had just watched Tora! Tora! Tora! last weekend as part of our WWII history unit. […]

Last week Grandma and Grandpa finally got to meet Annie. We mostly hung out around the house due to the rain the first half of the week, but we also got in some quick trips to the Santa Barbara Sea Center and Zoo !

Three of the kids had coughs and fevers last week, but we had gotten tickets to Legoland and had a nonrefundable room, so we drove down to San Diego and hoped for the best. As it turned out, it was raining cats and dogs on Thursday, so the park was closed. We did a quick […]

I just remembered that I’d taken some pictures with my real camera last weekend. The Schaffers hosted Christmas cookie decorating this year, and everyone frosted and decorated to their heart’s content before we sent off care packages to all the first responders who had helped keep our campus and homes safe last month. We have […]

We’re studying mammals in science right now, so today we took a field trip up to the Santa Barbara Zoo to observe some up close! Annie was about as interested as most babies who can’t actually see the animals are, but she did say “pink bird” when we showed her the flamingos, so we’re saying […]

One last field trip before Annie (hopefully) joins us this week. We’ve gotten to do a lot of field trips with the Cardonas this fall!

We took Annie to Zuma this afternoon for a friends’ birthday party. With all her sensory issues (and only 5 minutes of naps today), the sand, waves, and wind were pretty overwhelming. But at least we can say that she’s been to the beach!

I’ve been hearing about the Skirball Center and their famous Noah’s Ark exhibit for the past seven years we’ve been out here, but Janelle finally motivated me to go this week! Thursdays are free, but you have to get in line to get timed entry tickets for the Noah’s Ark exhibit, and it is no […]
