Moore Fun

The Moore fun today started with some last-minute tidying of areas where the social worker never checked.  By 9am, we were being questioned as a couple, then as a family, then individually.  Maybe we've just done this enough times to not stress, but it did seem easier this time around.  I guess if they know you have passed previous homestudies and seem to be doing well since then, they don't have to delve so deeply into every single detail.  We were done in time to get a full day of school accomplished, and Jon was able to get his physical.  Here's some Moore fun from today:

 All I can say is that it is a good thing that Jon was home today when Basia wanted to make this project out of her history book.  If I had helped her, it would have looked more like a wad of cardboard/duct tape, fit to be chunked in the trash.  There may also have been cursing going on inside my head where no child can hear it and report it to a social worker (yes, my children were asked during their homestudy interviews if their parents curse when we are mad.  Luckily I grew up in a house where "butt" and "crap" were never to be uttered, much less something worse).  I'm hoping that she doesn't remember that there was also the idea for a shield.

 So I saw this idea on someone else's blog and thought it looked like fun.  I can't link the blog because I have no idea what convoluted path I took to get to it in the first place.  They used a little thicker spaghetti, which would have been nice, and hot dogs. 

 We used thin, whole wheat spaghetti and Tofurky sausage.  Hey, don't knock it!  Tofurky is our friend!

Voila!  It's a pretty fun meal, but I'm not sure the kids appreciated it enough for me to do it again.

Basia has started to get creative with her forms.  She ends most forms practice sessions with one where she sits on her bottom (see, Dad, I didn't say "butt"!)  She finds herself rather amusing.
