My Favorite Number

I just thought of something! My favorite number is six. Maybe that's why I've always wanted a family of 6.

I've lately come to accept (hopefully) that the dog and cat are the actual fulfillment of my wish, as they must suffice for the two other babies I wish I'd had but won't. Hmmmm....

Just wanted to jot that down! And no, I'm not drunk this Friday night. But I am sitting at the Corner Bean coffee shop in the neighborhood, and it's full of people listening to some college guy singing in a funky voice about, you know, the usual. Unrequited love.

It must be putting me in a strange mood.

A mood that loves my new blog look! Is anyone besides Crunchy having a hard time reading it? Because if you are, I'll change it I promise...

Ha! I had imagined having 3 kids, but it seems like that third spot is destined to be a pet....

I'm not having trouble reading your blog, and like the lacy edges. But the URL up in the upper left corner seems odd.

I don't have any trouble reading it. I'm pretty sure I have 7.0 also. But if some people are having problems, chances are others are too. :(

I do miss your header picture, tho.

Same here, I wanted one more but have resigned myself that the American Bulldog is number three.

I love the new look. I'm glad you posted that link because I had been wondering about all the great blog backgrounds out there. I have my eye on one!!

I love the color combo!

Homeschooling/Unschooling Almost A Year Now

The kids took their annual, required standardized achievement test yesterday. This is the law in Minnesota, homeschoolers have to take the test and keep it in the files at home but we don't have to turn it in to the district or anything, unless there's a problem. It seems reasonable to me. Yesterday's test went well. A friend of mine, a former teacher, does the testing as a business, so the kids are really comfortable with her. She sets up her "office" at the library and devotes about an hour to each kid, using the Peabody Individual Achievement Test . The categories in the Peabody test are General Information (science, social studies, art, etc.); Reading Recognition; Reading Comprehension; Mathematics; Spelling. There are 100 questions per category, though they don't start each child at number 1 but somewhere before/below where they should be at and work up from there. One of my kids , age 9, tests just at or above her grade level. This is great. A confirmat...

On Family Meetings and Chores

ON FAMILY MEETINGS: On Friday night we held our first-ever Zahn Family Meeting. I've always felt that families who hold family meetings are so, well, organized and democratic and all that and we've just never gotten around to them (which speaks to my lack of organization, and probably democratic-ness, too). But on Thursday, after "crabbin' out" at the kids for not helping around the house enough, I decided to call a Family Meeting for the following night. I made the announcement to all, including dear husband, that the meeting would take place at exactly 6:30 p.m. after our Previously Scheduled Family Dinner at exactly 6:00 p.m. Just trying to be organized here... I asked the family members to come up with agenda items. Mine, of course, would be the subject of chores. I also said I would give a Treasurer's Report (a.k.a. "why we haven't paid your allowance since Christmas"). So the appointed hour came and the Meeting commenced. I asked for agenda...
