Well, today wasn't nearly as smooth of a homeschool day as Wednesday and Thursday of last week. We still got some work done and tried (key word TRIED) to make clay pots for our scrolls.
1/2 cup cornstarch
1/2 cup salt
3/4 cup flour
1/2 cup water added slowly until it's not sticky
Well, we got “not sticky” but we also got “everything ends up in the shape of a pancake”. Oh well. We're letting the “clay” dry overnight in a bag in hopes that it will be more workable tomorrow. I even tried to form it on the bottom of a cup today to make a bowl shape. I left the cup upside down and what happened? The clay eventually slid down the cup into a blob at the bottom. I guess we used too much water.
Sorry I don't have wonderful “homeschool experiment disaster pictures” to show you but the day was just too nuts for the camera.
Over the last few days one of my best friends and I have completely remodeled my husbands office. My hubbie took the kids to NC for the weekend so we could work on his office but ended up coming home because our youngest was running a fever and throwing up.
After arriving home Saturday night at midnight we spent most of Sunday resting. Then I made the mistake of visiting Stuffmart the weekend before college begins here. Big Mistake!!!
It was funny to watch the college-aged girls push around carts littered with blueberries, strawberries, wheat bagels and lite cream cheese. All the while the freshmen boys had baskets FULL to overflowing with “teekie” (sp?) torches, frozen pizza, Doritos, soda, and big screen TV's for Game Day.
It's a miracle we ever marry, huh??
Wishing for a more structured tomorrow but still content with what mommy learned today
