This week's Homeschool Memoirs is "to post the category that best describes each of your family members and write something about why you nominated them in that category." So here goes…
Best Cook: Dr. H. I wish he cooked every single meal! But then I guess I'd have to go find a job that earns money, and that would be really icky. So, I'll just appreciate his weekend cooking!
Best Sense of Humor: Jesse. He is just funny, and he totally has our sense of humor. He is always cracking me up. He just gets it.
Most Creative: Laurel Rose. This girl is amazing. Whether it's coming up with a costume (above), sewing, art, crafts, doll clothes, cooking or myriad other mediums, she is constantly creating something.
Always Smiling: Duncan.He just always has a smile on his face. He does get mad and grumpy, but he can't stay mad and grumpy. Within a few minutes, he is almost always smiling again.
Most FaithfulIn spite of her piercing bark when someone pulls in the driveway, Daisy is the absolute best dog. She loves us so much that it just breaks my heart.
Best Cricket CatcherEvery morning there is one hideous camel cricket that appears in our kitchen. Fortunately, our new kitty is a champion cricket catcher. It's not a pretty sight to see what she does with it.
Ugliest.Really, it's a tarantula. Need I say more?

ReplyDeleteI saw an incoming link on my blog from you today but couldn't find anything on your blog.
Will Dr. H come cook for us? Does he make side dishes?
Our daughters would get along well. My daughter is also incredibly creative. She sews, knits, crochets, latch hooks, paints, draws, etc, etc.
ReplyDeletewhy oh why oh why oh why would have have a tartantula? shudder shudder
ReplyDeleteeven though i've not met your kids in person (yet)i can tell your youngest loves to smile!! he definitely has a great one:)
ReplyDeleteOK...wait a second. Is that YOUR tarantula? A pet? You are right. She (he?) (it?) gets the ugly award. But your kitty is adorable, as are your children (of course!). It's just that the tarantula threw me off a bit, as you probably intended. LOL
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed visiting your blog! You are a true homeschooling momma to have a tarantula in your midst! There's no way I'd let my kids have one!
ReplyDeleteI love that you included pets I did not think of it. Your spider wins honestly congratulations!!!!
ReplyDeleteSome people love routine while others run as far from routine as possible. My thoughts are that everyone thrives on routine. You can become a slave to schedule or you can be so free that you get very little accomplished.

ReplyDeleteAngela
You have a beautiful family - minus the tarantula. You are a braver woman than I am :)
ReplyDeleteI love the awards- except maybe the tarantula. Ugh. I would give my dh best cook too- but I don't want him to quit his day job.
ReplyDeleteI have a new blog, btw, thus the new ID.
