Science Meets Art: Wax to Bronze

Catchy title, don't you think?

Here is the FINAL date, I promise. MARCH 8 which is a Friday. This is the day that wont impact schedules for Janine and Caroline.

Here is my final count please confirm so I can give Digby final numbers for set up:

EB-5
McD-2
OB-3
VCs-3

Digby  would prefer to do groups of 4 as there will be hot implements and the kids will need his attention. We should start at 12 noon sharp so as to cycle the kids through and be done in a reasonable amount of time. I guess that means late breakfast or early lunch.

I'm thinking he can give an overview to everyone then the smaller kids can rush through in about 1/2 hour leaving the older kids with more time to be creative.

He wants the projects to be 5-8 inches and so will be make them to stand on a table or mount on a wall which is a little different than previously stated but better, I think.

We'd like to have the projects wrapped up that day so they can be cast out and patined before Easter. We can work out the details day of but that's what it's looking like.

The younger kids should finish up first and are welcome to hang out and have snacks and play while the older kids finish up.

Renewing the Homeschooling Group!!

So--I miss you all!  When can we get together to discuss Smart Martha's?  Is this just adding business to already busy lives, or is it worthwhile for us?  What do you think?  I am usually limited by how much gas I can spend--driving around in my tank--but my Lent has ALREADY foundered (whose idea was it to have school vacation for my big girls the first full week of lent???).  But I am trying to get back on track today, and could really use the spiritual support of my Catholic women friends. 

See as the Eddyblouins are not moving anywhere anytime soon, I am wanting to build up our Catholic Community as much as I can!!  I think I'm tapped out (or close to it) in building it by giving birth.....

Slightly related:  I have scheduled another NFP class series in April, May, June.  go to ccli.org and search for classes to see dates and times, though the 2nd and 3rd classes are negotiable since we usually are teaching one or two couples....so if you are interested in taking the course, but one date does not work for you, we may be able to work around that.  Also, pass it on to any other couples who may be interested in the info.

XXXOOO--We will be in Brunswick tomorrow!

Mass and Altar explained to the kids

On March 22, Friday !0:00 am, Marcy Brenner has offered to show and discuss the mass and altar components at St Charles church for the kids.  She will keep it to an hour or less, and did not ask for a 
fee.  ( I forgot to ask as well).  I assume it's free, but will ask when I RSVP the headcount attending on
the 15th.  Let me know if you and the kids want to go when you decide.
