You're just like a school in summer........


You got NO CLASS. (insert laugh track)
You might recall that I've been talking about my plumbing a lot lately. Well it's like.... catastrophic! Actually, it's not anymore, it's fixed. It better be for $710.00. A toothbrush was caught sideways in the pipe. Can you believe it? Well, I've been running around like a crazy woman this week and not been able to do my dishes or laundry in any type of civilized manner so we have, in fact, been like a teacher in the summer.

We did study ice crystals today. We finally got that snow I've been asking for! Here are some of the resources we used. The first one was so much fun and I just about never got the kids off the computer!

oh wow! That so beats my $150 Chuck E. Cheese token in the van's CD player! That might just be enough for me to forbid tooth brushing. ;)
