(Emma) Jane Says:

Actual conversations I've had or overheard involving Emma:

At Costco, waiting for our tires to be rotated:

Annika: "This is taking a while."

Emma, nodding her head in agreement: "And a long time."

Looking out the window to where the tires are taken off,

"Mommy, what is that thing?"

"I don't know" (we'd been there for 2 hours & I just couldn't answer one more question.)

Figuring it out for herself, "Oh, it's a lifter upper."


Later on in the car. We were listening to NPR advertise their latest getaway to Paris.

"Mommy, we should go too!"

"mmhmm"

"Tomorrow because tonight they're closed"


And thus concludes the latest installment of "What My 4-Year-Old Is Thinking."

It's Pi Day!

Pie for dinner and dessert:

The Desk in Action

I don't make Harry sit under there, he just really likes it!

More Info

It occurred to me that I really didn't give much info to the picture challenge that I'm doing.  So, it's found here, at Home is Where You Start From. I like the challenge of taking a picture each day, even if I'm not real good at actually following through with it.

Snacks...

Sometimes it takes a little something extra to finish your math:

Books

The first one is of my bedside table. There are a ridiculous amount of books here in various stages of being read. Some are long-term, pick-it-up-when-you've-got-a-minute books, but sadly there are a lot of library books here too. And even more on my kindle. You know the saying about your eyes being bigger than your stomach? Well, mine are bigger than the amounts of time I have to devote to reading. Not that that's ever stopped me before:

Sky

I took this so my Mom could see Emma hanging out while Harry had his horseback-riding lesson.

She notice Emma, but also something I missed: the beautiful blue sky in the background.

Creating...

A new school plan for a certain sweet and adorable 6yo that isn't quite ready to be "classically educated." so we're going the "read a lot of books, hope something sticks, and try again next year" route.
