Caterpillars, ants and larvae oh my!

I'm babysitting a lot of bugs. Thankfully they don't dirty nappies nor require feeding and I cannot hear any *bitching* from them. They are, in many ways, perfect offspring.

InsectLore for butterfly houses and stuff like that.

Quote of the Day

DH :: Honey, I have some good news and some bads news.

Me :: Good grief, why don't you people just leave me alone?

DH :: The GOOD NEWS is that Jaws cleaned your windows

Me :: Oh for the love of God, I already *know* the bad news....

DH :: Yeah. The bad news is he used a muddy sponge....

The Emporer Has No Clothes Newsflash ::

Shock! Horror! Israel has been labelled racist by certain people and other people walk out of room with fingers in their ears going LA LA LA CAN'T HEAR YOU - YOU SMELT IT YOU DEALT IT NA NA NA NA NA
*rolls eyes*

First rule of 'democracy' - don't rock the boat, don't speak truth to the current Firaun, and don't tell teh Emporer he has no clothes. It makes everyone else look bad, OK?

He continued, through an interpreter: "And in fact, in compensation for the dire consequences of racism in Europe, they helped bring to power the most cruel and repressive racist regime in Palestine."

No. Israel is not racist. Repeat: Israel is NOT racist.

LA LA LA CAN'T HEAR YOU...

This blog is really crap isn't it.

OK. Still using Jolly Phonics and bought the DVD which the midget :LOVES: and so does Boss, and well, it's learning innit and I can have a cup of tea while they 'learn'.

Maths. Hmmmm....

Then there's FOOTBALL ohmygod there's FOOTBALL and my DH is calling my boys over to the dark side of frigging FOOTBALL. Um, Boss is kinda possessed and wants to be a Brazilian football hero *rolls eyes* just mind my windows please.

We're back onto Dinosaurs.

Jaws likes drawing and writing and saying "I can do ANYTHING" which is nice to think that at least one of my children have escaped my wrath.

I mentioned football? It is rather a large point right now.

Oh and Egypt thingy majiggy. Listening to the audio book by Roger Lancelyn Green 'Tales of Ancient Egypt' and been flicking through Usborne history books and Egypt books etc etc.

And............ that's it.

I'm sure I could have padded it out a bit but there you have the bare bone basics.
Just so you know.

Quote of the Day :: The Midget rocks

Boss :: Bubba, don't do that, because if you do that it will BREAK and then we'll need to fix it with superglue

Jaws :: It break??

Boss :: Yes, and then we'd have to glue it

Jaws :: Glue it?

Boss :: Yes - with SUPER glue.

Jaws :: My like stupid glue.

Boss *pissing his pants* ahhhhh you like stupid glue??

Jaws :: Yesh. My like stupid glue. I see the stupid glue peas brudder??

King. Arthur. The. End.

Just leave it. If it isn't in Camelot we don't want to know. We play the audio book over and over and over again until Jaws goes bonkers and screams for it to be turned off. We are dressed like a King - even in public *find my happy place find my happy place* We have a tent court which no one else is allowed to enter... or breathe on.

It's just all about Arthur.

Carry on.

Once in a while, as a result of creating mostly a mess, the kids come up with a gem which you just know is going to be carried on for a while.

This time? Masks.

Eldest son:



A skull. Of a hominid. It's a mask of a hominid's skull. Note the sloping forehead, ridge above the eyes and no chin....

... .... What?



This is the midget:




Also a mask of a hominid's skull, because evidently hominid skulls is what all the cool kids are doing. And big bro is the man, and they have to have one each of ever-y-damn-thing.

Me?



The hominid skulls freaked me out - can you tell?

And I think we are moving into the realm of papier-mâché.... ... help

Then Boss read this page:



With the phonic blends he had to hand, along with a good dose of guesswork and grinned like a Cheshire Cat when he finished masha'allah. I think I might have been talking in a language that only dogs could hear by that point because I was so proud - squeaky voice and all. Unschooling coupled with sit down lessons? Score. Masha'allah.

And days have been filled with garden play, bug catching, crafting and art. And large doses of in-house bitching. Saves going out looking for it.
