How exciting to be looking at kitchens, can't wait to see what you choose! I don't feel like a sensible homeschooling parent tonight, we didn't do anything remotely academic today, we went to Eden to do shopping, and we haven't even read tonight! But tomorrow is a new day with no mistakes in it yet! xxxSarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11507551793424616654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-143485269626703118.post-54099750976961869432012-03-19T19:56:17.485+11:002012-03-19T19:56:17.485+11:00Saturday?

We are usually battling cold, snowy winds, but instead enjoying the low 70's...hallelujah! :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11291951073853426272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-143485269626703118.post-34908143919120109222012-03-18T13:33:33.303+11:002012-03-18T13:33:33.303+11:00We had our kitchen done 5 years ago, I must measur...We had our kitchen done 5 years ago, I must measure the width and see what they are, they are certainly roomy to what we had before!<br /><br />Yesterday I was home alone so it was quiet - I caught up some blogging, photos and going through my new books - non-eventful I think it is called. <br /><br />PS I delete all those unfinished blog stories that i never use!!Finding Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09882774610725490491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-143485269626703118.post-49250356771192911552012-03-18T10:22:41.600+11:002012-03-18T10:22:41.600+11:00Serious and sensible ... perhaps I was until I rea...Serious and sensible ... perhaps I was until I read this and the comments, and now for some reason I am giggling ;)<br /><br />I often am S. & S. though, and would like to read your article sometime. I understand that it's hard to finish those posts, because they can sound authoritative or definitive, and that's a hard thing to be in the subjective, individualistic community which IS home ed.<br /><br />Would love to write more but have to find DS7, who is hiding and needs me to seek him. I fear he's in the washing machine.Butterflyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04696049648997719529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-143485269626703118.post-85161414573664735982012-03-18T04:17:53.587+11:002012-03-18T04:17:53.587+11:00She doesn't lick the counters?

Himself made breakfast, as he often does of a Saturday morning. The girls are off playing with friends (the poor, unsocialized dears). I wrote a post about my visit to the Anne Frank House. I'm catching up on blog reading and eating treacle fudge I bought in England. Later, Tiny and I will head to the barn to visit the pony. It's a glorious, warm, sunny spring day! I refuse to be bogged down by my home ed responsibilities on such a day. ;-)Ellenhttp://bluestockingbelle.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-143485269626703118.post-31912744900958605512012-03-18T02:02:51.042+11:002012-03-18T02:02:51.042+11:00We're just beginning our Saturday today.

It looks like it will be a nice, relaxed day, though not as nice and relaxed as yours sounds!<br /><br />When you have plans made for your new kitchen I hope you will share them with us! I am very interested in seeing how your aesthetic (sp?) plays out in a kitchen setting where everything is so utilitarian. I'm sure it will be so lovely!Sarahhttp://atsarahstable.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-143485269626703118.post-58467960470323794482012-03-18T00:13:08.707+11:002012-03-18T00:13:08.707+11:00The Adelaide Crows just won the NAB Cup!!!

Miss4 and her daddy got to have a look inside and under the bonnet of one of the aircraft. Daddy was offered a joy flight but declined as he was "with the family" this time. Oh, how we cramp his style! <br />Then at home we did some much needed cleaning and purging in the sunroom (now that it's cool enough to actually want to sit in the sunroom), and brainstormed our family adventures for the next six months or so. I think it's sensible to brainstorm and plan, but some of our ideas may not have been so sensible!Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16331862535368805034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-143485269626703118.post-20019249492639076402012-03-17T23:14:34.710+11:002012-03-17T23:14:34.710+11:00We tried the new Olympic sized, soon to be heated ...We tried the new Olympic sized, soon to be heated all Winter, pool which good old Rocky has acquired. The silly thing is they took out the wading pool to accomodate it :0( Toddlers got to wade around with mum for a while. No, I rarely swim. I kept the twins occupied. The Saturday cuppa with my parents and a sleep. That about sums it up. And if you are wondering why I am leaving a comment at this late hour well, I slipped into bed with the paper about 2 hours ago and here I am, somewhat refreshed. Serious and sensible?? Maybe, when I grow up!Rubyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09705309602853231946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-143485269626703118.post-47838562807254841582012-03-17T22:03:50.948+11:002012-03-17T22:03:50.948+11:00I shopped for concert blacks for me with Star.

Star insists [as being the semi~proffessional on of the 2 of us] that she is responsible for my being well presented. Regardless of comfort. Or allergies. Seriously. The child handed me a garment that was close cousin to a corset & expected me to try it on!!! Because it was black. Um. No. That is all. ☺ I am, however, still ranting on other matters. lol Won't ever be sane & sensible again on any subject what.so.ever.Ganeidahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17176246964466185315noreply@blogger.com
