Month: November 2024

We signed up for the WAX MUSEUM through Eastside Coop.

Tatum wanted to be Juliet from Shakespeare and display all of his work.

We arrived and noted the red star on the sidewalk!

And then the sea of wax figures! You had to push the button to hear what they would say.

We heard from President Reagan, Princess Diana, Queen Elizabeth, the Lost Dutchman and of course Juliet!

So much fun!

The staff invited me (as a GCU professor and expert in writing) to present to their staff my presentation on Writing Across the Curriculum (to increase Critical Thinking Skills)

Tatum decided to join me! The joy and freedom of homeschooling.

YAY!!!
We arrived nice and early as they were wrapping up the speaker before me.

After, Tatum helped me hand out my papers and some notecards.

Getting ready!

She is ready too! I think she wants to say something! She loves to help out.

After we begin, we realize the sound is off, so we all migrate to a classroom. Thank goodness! I’m so much more comfortable without a mike…pacing and enjoying the audience.

Here are my objectives.

I hit my groove, and EVERYONE got involved. They even gave me a round of applause after! I was SOOO honored.

I collected post its of what they would adopt in there classroom to give them accountability.

I think they were really excited, and ALL I cared about was that they’d use it and help their students improve their critical thinking skills. It’s a lost art in our world especially after Covid.

I think they enjoyed. THANK YOU for this opportunity. Thank you, Tatum for helping me!

We are getting ready for her wax museum presentation on Friday. She will play Juliet to represent the fine playwright.

I’m making some GAPS meals. You see, we are trying a new diet to help both of our guts. It’s the Gut and Physiology Syndrome plan. Here is brekkie!

Coconut flour waffle, fried egg, blackberries and bacon

YUM?

YUM!

And lunch….

Another egg, roasted carrots, liver (it hides in the beef) meatballs, apple with 24 hour yogurt mixed with peanut butter. Oh, and BROTH! LOTS OF BROTH! (meat stock)

We are working on this…It’s a lot of work, but we’ll make it work. YES!

Tot is feeling better and I’m, well…getting there.

We are even matchies today!

Love you being here at school with me!

Went a day early to avoid the crowds with the Tot.

Outside the post office (where I voted), there were some lovely Trump/Vance ladies. I gave them a thumbs up.

Bing Bang Bum…DONE! Thank you honey for helping me fill it out with all the props and judges. Now we pray.

RIGHT!!!
We can’t wait for the Ads to be over…and the texts, phone calls, dribble drabble. DONE please! Let’s just get Trump back.

Yay!

We are working on some of her habits with some creative strategies.
She created this “fidget” board all on her own.

I found this on the counter for me too.

So grateful for you and your mighty brain.

Or is it TOT?
Happy Halloween!

Not so much for RIBI!
He said NOOOO to being a BEE!

She made him, and he is DELIGHTUL!
