Legoland Hotel
Posted in California, Elizabeth, Janie, Susanna, Tommy on Feb 2nd, 2017
We’re halfway through our mini-vacation to Legoland. Since Inspire paid for five of our tickets, we splurged for the Legoland hotel, and boy, do the kids love it! Let’s just hope the park is as empty and the weather as good tomorrow!
Neighborly Friday Night Movie Night
Posted in Elizabeth, Friends, Janie, Susanna, Tommy on Jan 31st, 2017
We’ve enjoyed the tradition of Friday Pizza and Movie Nights this year, and last week, we invited the Boards over to share pizza and watch The Aristocats. Nicholas is Susie’s soulmate, and we all love cuddling little James! Other than the cranky old people, we have the best neighbors.
Afternoon at the Park
Posted in California, Elizabeth, Homeschooling, Janie, Susanna, Tommy on Jan 30th, 2017
Most of our homeschool days are hard, hard work. Occasionally, Tommy will get up at 6:20 am to start his schoolwork, everyone will be diligent, we’ll have minimal distraction and fighting, and we’ll be done by lunchtime!

Favorites Day

The kids are still loving their French class with Marion. Even Janie is brave enough to speak up now!
Long Beach Aquarium with the Daughritys
Posted in California, Elizabeth, Friends, Homeschooling, Janie, Susanna, Tommy on Jan 24th, 2017
Sunde and I braved crazy rain last Friday to do a homeschool field trip to the Aquarium of the Pacific in Long Beach. I just haven’t done as much ocean study this year as I’d wanted, so it was good to get back there and spend another day looking around. Because the Daughrity kids love […]
Nothing beats blankets and encyclopedias for a good fort!
When we came through before Christmas, we had one day of leftover snow before it melted. The kids were out sledding right away, of course, but we were afraid that would be the only day of snow play we’d get in Columbia. When we came back this week, it was brown and bare, but midweek, […]
Dissections With Grandma
Posted in Elizabeth, Family, Homeschooling, Susanna, Tommy on Jan 5th, 2017
I will be honest here. I’m not a big biological science girl. So we saved the kids’ dissections for Grandma’s house. They learned a lot, she had fun showing them stuff, and I took some pictures and retreated to the fireplace before gagging.
