Halloween!!

It's Halloween tomorrow!  I'm so excited, I'm going as a crayon!  We're carving pumpkins now, I took a break to post.

This really isn't about school, I guess, but that's okay.  What are you guys being?  This isn't gonna be very long, just an update post.  More soon!

Happy Halloween...and Homeschooling!

Kulering

Yes, "coloring" is spelled wrong on purpose.  I was just on Adobe Kuler, a website that lets you see what colors look good together on a color wheel.  You have to check it out to really get the jist, but if you're like me--super color coordinated and oriented--you'll LOVE this!  I plan on making interior decorating my job, and this is a great website if you want to repaint your room or something.  Try typing in any letter up to F and any number from 0-9 in the hex box (as long as it's eight characters) and you'll get a unique color.  Some combinations I liked: 12E6BB (blue green), FFA957 (melon), and FDB6FF (dusty pinkish purple).

I adored it and will definitely be visiting the site again!!

On another note, we (my dad, siblings, and I) went to the Crowden School of Music today for the Open House.  It was pretty neat.  Apparently it's a normal school with an emphasis on music, which is a regular class there.  It's definitely nice campus.

That's all for now, I'm gonna head over to do some joint homeschooling with a friend, back soon though.

Happy Homeschooling!

Ups--and downs--of Homeschooling

Ups:
1. Sleeping in (sometimes)

2. School's done when I'm finished.

3. Being with my siblings

4. Working by myself (not always great, but mostly)

5. Helping my mom

Downs:

1. Not being with my friends all the time

2. Only one teacher (but I love my mom!)

You know, those are the only things.  Five ups, two downs.  Homeschooling has a lot of bonuses!

(I have no idea why I have all anime.  It just turned out like that.  I did not draw them, by the way.)

Happy Homeschooling!

Fall Needlefelting

Here are some pictures of a fall needlefelting project I just made.  And I mean just made--I finished it and took some pictures and sat down to blog! :)  It's by far not the best I've done, but it's the first fruit ever made in with wool in our house.

An apple slice!!!  For the first fruit I've done, and the fact that I had to make it somewhat wedge-shaped, I think it's pretty good.  That's all for now, though.  I have one more assignment to work on and I want to get it done!

Happy Homeschooling!

Field Trip!

Yesterday we went to Carmel, because it was supposed to rain here.  Did it?  I don't know, but it sure did rain there, even though it wasn't supposed to!!!  We got some pictures of the mission, and on the beach.  It was not raining there (the beach), so we had some fun anyways!

This was the beach.  It wasn't raining at this point--in fact, it was beautiful!

This is us walking into the church (it was raining here)

So now I am really annoyed because I took a 2 hour break to go visit my dad at his work and none of my other pictures uploaded!!!  If I can get them I will, but for now I'm going to go.  Also, I hope you all had a good day at school because I did :)

Happy Homeschooling!

Taming of the Shrew

So I went to go see the Taming of the Shrew performed by CalShakes with my friend.  I read the book and listened to an audio recording and all that, but the play still didn't really make sense.  So when I heard we were going to go see it, I was super excited (this was helped by the fact that I was going with one of my best friends :D).  Then, we got rained out--HALFWAY through the play!!!  I was so upset, but then I found out that I'm going with another friend!  So now I'm super super happy, because it was one of the best plays I have ever been to.  It was in a modern setting, which was definitely a plus.

I'll be back soon with pictures and interesting school stuff, hopefully...

Happy Homeschooling!
