Friday Funny

As Ellie has gotten older, she no longer lets Gabby choose whatever hairstyle she wants to do for her anymore. After one such frustrating hair styling session, Gabby looks up and asks:

When are you going to make me a new doll?

🤣

 As Justin was playing guitar:

That sounds like a pickle tastes!

I feel so bad for the blonde girls in Beauty and the Beast.  They don’t read, but it’s not their fault.  And they aren’t up to French beauty standards, but they’re still pretty.  It’s so sad. -Gabby

Looking at sunlight shining in streams through the clouds

G: It’s Jesus tunnels

Discussing snacks to take on a trip…

G: Well we can’t take animal crackers, because they’re vegetarians. 🤣

Me: I wonder, do vegetarians eat animal crackers?

Gabby is finishing her Geometry book, so she cooked up a scheme to celebrate.

Gabby, reviewing her health book, under her breath: Drugs, this, drugs that; here’s a whole bunch of diseases, kids.  Have a nice life!

Gabby, trying to get Ellie to eat granola: Your throat is a giant water slide and the food wants to go into your stomach, which is a pool of acid.

Friday Funny

Gabby, when taking the take and bake pizza from the trunk, “There you are beautiful.”

Gabby (about Bellum, the guinea pig):  Her brain may be tiny, but she is a mastermind.

Friday...Funny, Maybe

Watching Little Women...

Gabby: In the sequel we need him [Professor Bhaer] and Amy to cccclick [drawing finger across her neck].

Katie: Our Christianity makes us go to a rather dark place, since they can't just get divorced.

Yikes!

Friday Funny

Gabby and I had been planning an AHG event with another family, and when we were leaving, they offered for us to take a few things their daughter had matured out of.  I picked up a couple of beading sets, leaving behind a more complicated one, looked at Gabby, and said, “For the Bean.” (Ellie)

She bats her eyes, points to the one I left, and asks, “For the Gab?”

She got the beads.

Friday Funny

G (after making Katie laugh so hard that she spewed water from her nose): Well, I can check that one off my bucket list!

Friday Funny

Justin: It was raining cats and dogs when I left.

Gabby: That must have caused quite an allergic reaction.  I hope you didn't step in a poodle. 🐩

Friday Funny

G: That should be rated R for disturbing images.

Me: What's that?

G: Nate’s dance moves.

Friday Funnies

Background: Over dinner I tell the family that there is someone in our HOA complaining about a rooster in the neighborhood.  They are not allowed in the city limits at all, and chickens, even hens are forbidden by our HOA.  They are having animal control come look for it each day.

Later in the evening we see a police car go by, then a helicopter go over.

Katie: They must be looking for that rooster! 🐓

*****

Justin and I hug.

Ellie: Oh no, they are falling in love again!
Nate: Are they still making a scene?
Gabby: [wretching noises]
Katie: Gabby can't have dessert—she just got sick!

Friday Funnies

Gabby, on dropping an egg: "Despite my best efforts, an egg was broken."

Ellie, after bumping her knee, "I have to hop like a flamingo!"

Nate, while eating s'more dip, "This is like nachos for marshmallows and graham crackers!"

Happy Friday,
Kristy

Oh Dear

Ellie (to Kate): You're a pot head.

Me: Let's not say that.

Which leads into a whole discussion of weed, pot, Mary Jane...  The legal, the illegal, the medicinal, the questionable, and how it affects brain chemistry.  We told them that some people smoke it and some people even bake it into brownies.

Gabby: What?!  Illegal brownies!

Because brownies is where we were going with that...

Gabby: ...when spring comes, and it cools down.

78 degrees in February?!  Even in the south, that's odd.  Don"t worry--tomorrow our low will drop down to 26 degrees (high in the forties).

Sk-ELLIE-ton

We're studying biology this year in our rotation.  We spent much of the fall learning the kingdoms and studying a little more specifically about bacteria, plants, and animals in specific.  We spent much of our time doing experiments from The Science of Life and reading library books about whatever we happened to be studying.

We've moved into the very specific genus of homo sapiens.  Our first step in human anatomy was to study the skeletal system.  I decided the best way for the kids to be involved and really understand it was to build a basic skeleton.

I traced our Ellie on one of the boxes and cut her it out.  Then I cut bones from the foam that was used to pack the pieces.  It was a bit simplified, using one piece in place of a few in the cranium and leaving out over lapping bones in preference for one layer of the bones as seen from the front.  Our rib cage is open so we can continue to add organs as we learn more.  The finger, toe, hand, and foot bones, being so small, I cut from paper.  I labeled the bones, and then the kids put them in their proper places.  We used school glue to hold them in place.

Meet our sk-ELLIE-ton (named by Gabby).
