My name is Eva and I'm a www.stumbleupon.com addict..

My friend Marie-Eve mentioned in one of her blogs about this site.  I check it out! BOOM!! I'm hooked..a homeschooling paradise! You go from quotes by Nietzsche to art history to buttons that make farting noises!! We also checked out huge toothpick sculptures that we are going to try and make.  Move over math and reading...we are going to submerge ourselves in toothpicks and Elmer's glue!! Can not wait for Monday!


In other news, Sergio is sick. Always the last to get stuff..Fever and sore throat.  Thankfully he has tomorrow to sleep in and relax..poor guy!

Isaac made some major progress in sharing his feelings today.  While watching The Polar Express, he told me that the part when the conductor punches the children's tickets makes him want to cry because they all learned what they needed to learn...pretty big stuff for a kid who "shouldn't" (because of autism) be caring about how others feel. Earlier this morning he was telling me how lucky he feels to have brothers..he said he always has a friend to play with.  These children are teaching me more than I can ever teach them..

Oh, another fun thing today, I got to talk with my Mom, Aunt Debbie, Macy, and J.R on Skype.  Can I tell you how much I love THAT..Macy looked and looked! I miss her so much.  I love technology!

  1. Wow, that's awesome about Isaac! It's all in the parenting, too, Eva. You guys are special. Hope Sergio feels better soon. I am a StumbleUpon addict, too! I set for hours and Stumble, usually photography sites. What is your username? I will add you. Skype rocks! Margo & I Skype sometimes. Love you

  2. Glad you're enjoying Stumbleupon. It's one of my favourites! Also glad that you're finding a way to incorporate it into your homeschooling :) That's great!
    I hope Sergio feels better soon! But how awesome that Isaac is sharing feelings and such?! I don't know a ton about autism, but I know that's a big step for him. You're one awesome mom!
