Girl Mom

Before I had children I never thought I would make a good mom for girls.  I don't know how to do hair, buy clothes, or whatever else girl moms are supposed to know how to do.  I was shocked when I found out that Hazel was a girl...THREE girls?!  When they fight with each other it's in a big way. Poor Isabel is the oldest and can't reason with the her two crazy sisters that have NO respect for her organizational skills.

Poor Sylvia is stuck being the little sister (getting bossed around) and being the big sister (having to share with a toddler.)

Poor Hazel has Isabel who, although good intentioned, OVERLY loves and fusses over her and Sylvia who steals her toys.

At this time in my life, what makes me happiest in life is seeing my girls play peacefully together.  This breakfast tea party game is one that they have no problem playing (so long as Isabel is the hostess in charge.)

Being the mother of girls, I found that the most difficult things aren't things like doing their hair (I have taught myself to french braid by the way).  It's knowing that I am their biggest female role model.  I love my girls, they teach me so much, and not just about dolls, clothes and princesses.

How to Make Plasma in your Microwave!

Last night Joey helped the kids follow this video tutorial.  All you need is a microwave and a grape.  It's amazing! Grape Plasma Microwave

Check out our other SchoolTube videos.  Some are educational and some...not so much.

How to Draw a Profile...(or how NOT to)

How to draw someones profile... 1.  pin up sheet of paper. 2.  set up light. 3.  position person. 4.  trace.

Easy in theory, but...

...not so when you are using the wiggliest person in the world as your model.

I love how Luke is trying to hold Sylvia's face still while trace at the same time.

Luke then fired Sylvia and hired Isabel instead.  That wasn't much better since the wiggly model rebelled by covering the light.

In the end, Luke had me trace his profile so that he could draw a face on it.
