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

While we’re on the subject of the economy, I can’t resist adding a timeless quote:

200px M T Cicero Video roundupThe budget should be balanced, the Treasury should be refilled, public debt should be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed lest Rome become bankrupt.  People must again learn to work, instead of living on public assistance.

Cicero – 55 BC

OK. Did you fall for it too?  If you were totally wowed by the timelessness of that quote, you might want to check this link sent to me by another fine friend.  I’m just glad I was in good company.

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 essential worldview training tools. From time to time I feel like I just HAVE to tell folks about some of our favorites.

I talked about the Gunn Brothers films in the past but this one bears repeating, especially in light of its winning Best of Festival at the 2007 SAICFF. It’s the “Monstrous Regiment” DVD.

Colin, Emily and Euan Gunn have put together a clear, stark and honest look at feminism and its effects on the modern world.

If you don’t have this video you must buy it. In fact buy 2 or three so you can give them away – it’s that good.

Don’t believe me? Watch the 2 trailers.

I am a father of 8: seven daughters and one son, ages 14 to 1. I consider this film one of the must-have worldview training videos in our family library. I have had all my daughters watch it. We used caution with how much each of the children saw of the movie, but the Gunns do a marvelous job of balancing how they portray evil without being offensively graphic.Buy the movie, watch it once with your spouse, and then watch it several times with your family, friends and your church. This movie will equip you with the tools to become eloquent in refuting feminism.Go to http://www.monstrousregiment.com/buy.htm to buy the movie. It’s an eye opener.Don’t wait.

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 eating from their hands and perching on them.
He is entirely fearless and must have been somebody’s pet. He hangs about the deck just waiting for his friends to come out and play.
Who says homeschooled kids don’t have friends?

You can see more videos of our new friend here.

Update:
The kids’ new friend is just like one of those neighborhood kids. He peeks in all the doors and windows, calling and begging them to come out and play with him. He wants to eat whatever we eat.
He invites himself in when we leave the door open. He bathes in a trash can lid.
Unlike most of the neighborhood kids that I’ve heard about, he poops on the floor.

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 tried unsuccessfully for ten minutes off-camera to get him to do it.

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. I think it turned out rather good. [insert rabid applause by Modest Mom.]
They would love to see some comments on it over at Google Videos. Anyone want to encourage our budding artists?
They are particularly proud of the logo at the beginning.

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) how talented my big guy is.

DSCF1087 Kids updates

  • Deanna and Kaitlyn made a short video, posted at hubby’s blog. If you like Lord of the Rings, you’re going to enjoy this.
  • 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 now and then.
  • Megan finished reading her entire Bible before her 9th birthday, which is coming up next week. You go, girl!
  • Natalie and Becca are under intensive training. They will stop tossing clean laundry into the dirty laundry basket. They will. They will.
  • The Boy is now up to 5 teeth, and pulls himself up with ease. He stills scoots comically with one leg in front and one behind but gets where he’s going very efficiently. Today he learned to say eyes as he jabbed mine with amazing accuracy. He can also say Dad, Mom, dog, kitty, more, hi, amen, poop, and boo**. Yes, maybe we should have come up with a new word for nursing, because he enunciates that last one remarkably well. He can sign more, please, and no. We’re working on the signs for thirsty, eat, and thank you. If you teach your baby sign language, what signs have you found most useful in the beginning?

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 for the first time. Something of his. I could tell by the look he gave me that he thought it was a really cool and hilarious appendage.

His vocabulary consists of his own versions of Dad, Mom, dog, kitty, an occasional appropriate poo and yuck, and something that sounds like boo. I’ll leave that to your imagination, but I know exactly what it means.
He also sings Gaaaahhhhh during the doxology at church (as in, Praise Gaaaahhhhhd from whom all blessings flow) and Aaaaahhhhhhh during the Gloria Patri (as in, Aaaaahhhhmen)
Notice his emphatic clapping each time he stops scooting. I’m dangling a plain leftover pancake in front of him, and he is responding with his version of sign language for “please.” My daughter thought I might be able to pass the treat off as a cookie, but I don’t want to be a phony. I ate all the cookies myself. I’m real like that.

He’s not crawling yet, but he can get across a pile of bodies on the sofa pretty efficiently. You’d think level ground would be a snap, but he’d rather lean waaay out and reach. He has an effective diameter of nearly 4 feet, so why crawl?
He has also developed a hilarious habit of spinning on his bottom. He sits on the floor and uses his feet to walk in circles while maintaining very nice posture in an upright sitting position. Try to picture that. Remember the 3 Stooges, when Curly would lie on his side and run circles on the floor? That’s my boy, only he’s sitting.

Other news, for my own reference: still stalled out at 2 teeth. Nearly pulls himself up when he can get a good grip on the hem of my skirt. Gives kisses on request!

 The Boy’s first haircut
He’s had his hair trimmed before, but today was The Day. His bangs were creeping down his forehead, and hubby and I resolved long ago not to be those parents who let their little boy’s hair grow til he looks like a girl.

We pulled out the clippers, snapped on the #3 guard, and buzzed The Boy’s head while Deanna stood by with the video camera.
 The Boy’s first haircut
He had a blast and was right at home in the center of attention. Our brave little guy was not a bit bothered by the noise of the electric clippers or the fact that the slightly dull blades occasionally pulled his hair.

When it was all over, he sat in a pile of stubble looking more like his daddy than ever before. His sisters squealed at his new and improved cuteness and took turns petting his prickly head. Yes, I had a turn too, but I didn’t squeal. Did not, did not, did not

And then, of course, we had to take a picture of Rachael. Just because, well, because she’s Rachael. The Boy’s first haircut
