Film Festival

It starts tonight - the opening ceremonies for the San Antonio Independent Christian Film Festival.  Whew!  That’s a mouthful!  We just say the film festival around here because as far as we’re concerned there’s only one. 
Opening ceremonies are tonight, followed by 2 very long days.  I’m going to drive into town with our [...]

Homeschool Humor

No, this isn’t the one that made the rounds last year, but it’s the best 2 minutes I’ve wasted in a long time.  2 of my daughters were in denim skirts at the time, and a third was wearing a denim jumper.  Homemade, no less.

Moon landing footage

Feel free to tell me if you have reason to believe the video isn’t authentic, unless you believe the conspiracy theory. Then I reserve the right to laugh at you.

If we can assume that it’s real, I’m forced to admit that surfing the internet is educational.
A fun tidbit from Wikipedia:
After re-entering the LM [lunar [...]

Polish weirdness

More video weirdness. This time from a Polish Pastor friend of mine.He posted the video to Facebook and he and I had the following exchange:
Perry Coghlan III Today at 1:48pm
wow, Bubu I’m speechless. My American mind is having trouble reconciling stringed instruments with the heavy metal/ tough guy look of the band….
‘Bubu’ (Poland) Today [...]

Because it’s Monday and I’m feeling weird

Video roundup

I’ve recently come across several videos worth sharing, and here they are both for your own viewing and for my future reference.

A fascinating 1957 video interview of Margaret Sanger, founder of Planned Parenthood, courtesy of a reader.  Several of our girls had just finished George Grant’s biography of Margaret Sanger, so were very interested in [...]

Dad’s Corner: You need this movie

Every now and again I come across a product or 2 that makes me stand up and say, “WOW! I really have to have that.” From audio cds to books, there are available to the Christian today an incredible array of teaching tools, entertainment options, and reference materials.
Some are incredible deals, some [...]

We are one with nature

Apparently emboldened by the children’s outdoor bathing, a grackle has made friends with us.
He landed on the deck rail last night and thrilled the kids by letting them get within feet of him. “Look!” they said. “He’s so tame!”
They had no idea just how tame he was. Ten minutes later, he was [...]

Frog & Prince

What can I say? He’s had us squealing with laughter and disgust for a year now. Happy birthday to my little guy.
This video is not for the faint of heart. Just for the record, we wanted the yucky face. We didn’t think he would really do it. After all, the girls had [...]

Another video for your viewing pleasure

A few months ago the girls spent an afternoon goofing around with the video camera and came up with a story line. In the course of 3 hours they created a 10 minute film short they call “A Child’s Story.”
This was their first film ever and was never intended to be a serious project. [...]

The Boy’s video debut

Hubby had some fun with a video editing program today and used our old video footage of The Boy’s first haircut to create a small masterpiece.
The Hair Cut.
Go see it. Now. You’ll laugh yourself silly. Well, I did. Then come back and tell me:
a) how handsome my little guy is, and
b) [...]

Lydia, our little skinny runt girl, has fallen in love with the runt pup Minnie. It’s going to be sad when they part. Maybe whoever buys her will email pics [...]

Baby boy updates

Our little man made 3 exciting discoveries yesterday:

He can now scoot about rather efficiently on his bottom, getting from room to room in an upright sitting position. This works nicely with his talent for spinning.
He can pull himself to his feet.
He…well…he leaned over his fat little belly in the bath tub and saw something [...]
