Video Friday “A Homeschool Family” (parody)

by ⋅ 3 Comments

I really enjoyed this parody – However, I didn’t know who made it or if they’d be ok with me sharing it here. Then, someone on my homeschool group shared the following!

Tim Hawkins is a comedian who wrote the parody song “A Homeschool
Family”. Tim and his wife play the parents in the video, and four of
the kids are theirs – the rest are friends. (snip)

He has a DVD that has a hilarious bit on parenting and another on
homeschooling. His comedy is totally family friendly.

I hope you will check out his site – he is pretty funny!

J1’s surgery

by ⋅ 8 Comments

Today J1 had to have some minor (to whom I wonder? Certainly NOT minor to us!!) surgery. We are home safe and sound now – he had some trouble coming out of anesthesia but after some additional medication got that resolved and was able to come home. I took a couple pictures to share with his family:

Wheeling in…

(edited to add: No, J1 didn’t triple in size. They used this thing called “bear hug” to keep him warm. I think it’s at the top of his Christmas list now! LOL)

Afterwards with his new friend…

Thank you for the prayers. The outcome was the best possible scenario. We are so glad to have this behind us!

4 edits – guess I’m more out-of-it then I realized.

A race track from his big brother! I was really touched that J1 spent so much on his little brother – of course, guess who’s home playing with it now while J3 is at school! LOL

Singing the “Happy Birthday” song – and, boy were we bad!

J3’s birthday

Today J3 turns 7. I’m a bit sad about it.

This morning he asked me about his cake. He had picked out white cake with lemon frosting. I was going to attempt a layer cake, but I didn’t want him to have high expectations due to my lack of practice! He looks at me and said, ‘I can have a square cake.’ lol He’s so sweet!

Here is what I ended up with….hope he likes it!
