    April Fool’s Day

    I love April Fool’s Day!  Maybe it’s because I love surprises. Or, maybe it’s just that I love to hear about my children’s reactions.  To me, April Fool’s Day is the perfect opportunity to surprise and delight my children!  I definitely do not do pranks that are mean, damaging or yucky. The older my children have gotten, the trickier this has become to truly surprise them… but so far, I have managed!  Here are some of the little surprises that I have tucked into their first day of April. When they were little, I would put a few drops of food coloring at the bottom of their cereal bowl, put…

I knew this about myself before I left, but thought I would do it differently this time… ha! So, a little insight into who I am.  I have two speeds:  Stop and…

    Fractions!

    Have you ever tried to think like a child?!  Or, have you ever tried to think what a child would do in a specific situation?  Good luck!  Their little minds are working overtime to come up with a “good idea”, but they have a long way to go to think like an adult!  Their “good ideas” make us adults shake our heads and wonder, “What made them think that was a good idea?!”  I have several examples of this.   One child: Our first year living in Montana came with several strange challenges. My 2 oldest were in elementary school, 2nd and 3rd graders, but because of the system to place…
