Homeschool Family (By Tim Hawkins, A Homeschooling Dad~)

Yep, Tim Hawkins is a comedian who is also a homeschool Dad. He is my favorite comedian. Here is more of his videos:





As far as I know (which isn't very far ), the baby hamsters are all still alive.

Oh, and the Bball money fund is now up to: $39?.00!!!!! YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(MORE!!!) Baby Hamsters

Yes, that's right! MORE BABY HAMSTERS!!!!!! One of Jackie's former baby hamsters (White Lily) had baby hamsters!!! 10 of the little rodents. Although, one of them has died, so actually right now it is only 9. Jackie was groaning and carry on like no other! I think she doesn't like hamsters as much as she used to. She even let Rosie and another one of the hamsters (something to do with a flower... Jackie really likes flowers...) go into the wild! The "other hamster " was looking REALLY pregnant. I think that's why Jackie let her go. You see why I have a boy hamster!!!



I think that brings the total of all hamsters to: 12!!!!!!

Well, about a week ago my Mom and I entered a photo contest at our local library. Guess what! We both won a 1st place!!!! My 1st place winner is over there to the left. I won in Things. Mama won in People. Leave me a comment if you want me to put her picture of Uncle Ronnie over there!!!





Well, tonight is the Fine Arts Festival for Homeschoolers. The bell group is playing and my siblings and some friends and I are going to do a stick drama called 'Arise my Love'. I will try to put a video of it on here (if we get to video tape it, our video camera is acting weird.... ). Jackie will also be singing and so will Benjamin. As Benjamin is only three, we will be singing 'Twinkle Twinkle Little Star'. It is SOOOOOOO cute!!!!!
