Daily Picture Grade 4 - Day 40

Today is international Day at school so I will post some separate pictures of Natalie. She wanted curly hair so we did the braids on wet hair last night. Cute. Oh, and I spelled atheist wrong.

"Yeah, all these equations are like miracles. You take two numbers and when you add them, they magically become one new number! No one can say how it happens. You either believe it or you don't."

Daily Picture Grade 4 - Day 37

Thought this was fitting in light of last night being Math Night at the school. And since we prayed to Jesus at the start of Math Night and thanked him for providing the wonderful curriculum (Not making that up, it is a Lutheran school...), I also thought it was fitting.

"You know, I don't think math is a science. It think it is a religion. A religion?"

Daily Picture Grade 4 - Day 34

We let Natalie play hooky from school today. her Gammaw leaves Monday so this was the last week to spend weekday time with her. Natalie planned out a busy day, we were all exhausted when we got home. Well worth the missed school!

"WE INTERRUPT YOUR REGULARLY SCHEDULED PROGRAM FOR A DAY OF PLAY  WITH GAMMAW!"

Daily Picture Grade 4 - Day 31

Back to school after a week off! Natalie was asleep at 7:30 p.m. last night, but awake again at 1:30 a.m.! Mosquito! I had to get up and spray her room twice, but she still insisted on sleeping in bed with us. Wouldn't even be possible without a king-size bed. This morning, her body showed the wrath of the mosquito. Bites all over legs, arms, face. She even had one on the palm of her hand!  Anyway, on with the Calvin and Hobbes cartoons this week!

"Hey Hobbes, what's a 'Paper Tiger'?"

Recipe: Roasted tomato soup With Cheddar Hat

It is a bit cooler in the evenings now and so got the hankering for some soup! I stole the original recipe from one of my blogs, but of course I had to modify a bit! I called it a Cheddar Hat to make it a bit more appealing to the nine-year old in the family, but basically it is just a crouton with cheese. Hard to find plum tomatoes, but smaller grape tomatoes are always available and usually sweet even if not completely ripe. However, this substitution means there won’t be as much “juice” in the tomatoes. I also think you can use this as a base to add whatever other herbs or ingredients sound good. I want to try again and add a roasted beet or maybe even some carrot. No pictures from last time, maybe next time!
