A Little Halloween Math

Tuesday, October 31st, 2006

When we got back from trick or treating Cameron and Ani emptied out their bags and Cameron immediately began sorting his candy by type. Of course Ani decided that sounded like fun, too, and started sorting hers as well. Ani got 9 Snickers (including mini ones) and Cameron got 8 Smarties after Ani […]

Happy Halloween!

Who Murdered Chaucer? by Terry Jones

Monday, October 30th, 2006

I finished reading Who Murdered Chaucer? by Terry Jones (and a few others) last week. It is a little strange reading a very academic book written by a founding member of Monty Python. It’s like you expect a digression into “spam, spam, spam, spam” or something. While that never happens, there is […]

Exciting Encyclopedias

Sunday, October 29th, 2006

Our encyclopedia Britannicas are in the basement. It’s half finished and the kids are down there a lot. But the shelf they are on - that was in our bedroom in our old place - is warping terribly so I decided that’s not a good place for the books to be. I […]

Laptop is Home

Friday, October 27th, 2006

AppleCare worked fast and so far it looks like they did their job this time. The laptop arrived in CA (which, might I point out is on the opposite side of the country from where we live) yesterday. They fixed it and sent it back to me overnight and it arrived home late […]

Ungooglable, Pink, and My MacBook

Monday, October 23rd, 2006

Some anonymous person that I may or may not be related to has a blog. Person calls said blog Ungooglable. I note the background color of blog is pink. Anonymous person that I may or may not be related to may or may not have a nephew that shares a great love […]

October 16-20 - Short Week, Lots of Math

Saturday, October 21st, 2006

We only did school Monday through Wednesday since we were sick on Thursday and Friday. We’re tweaking school a wee bit again, but I’ll post about that another time when my brain isn’t quite so foggy (we’re a lot better, but all 5 of us are still not quite healthy yet).
This week, we learned […]
