Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo #2- Water Balloon Flip-flops

Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo-
1.~To start you will (obviously) need a pair of flip-flops. Have fun choosing your favorite color of flip-flop or a hue that would look good with the kind of water balloons you plan to use.
2.~ Now for the water balloons (which can be found at many of your local stores). There are quite a few different mixes of colors when it comes to water balloons. They come as just a singular color, a couple of colors, or (As seen in the picture) rainbow!! take your pick :)
3.~Once you have your supplies comes the hard part: tying them all on. Yes, they are small, tight little buggers but it IS possible. Depending on how large your fingers are will make the difficulty differ. I tyed mine on with double knots since they seem to have it in their minds to break free of an ordinary knot. its up to you how sparse or tightly packed they are.
Sage Wisdom: Don't try to tie them all on at once, especially if the water balloons are really unflexable, your fingers will get sore and you possibly may aquire a blister.

Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo #1- Coffee cup pencil holder

Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo:
1.~take a used coffee cup of your choice(preferably one that isn't stained or chewed) and rinse it out.
2.~ find some craft yarn/rope/ribbon of your choice and circle the top of the cup. To attach it I find that a hot glue-gun works great.
3.~to add more spice and a more vintage flavor to your cup, wrap some lace (^as shown), ribbon, or cloth that you like around it too!
4.~Stick your amazing supplies into it, and there ya go!

Homeschooling Prejudice

Sometimes when people hear the word 'homeschooled' the picture that automatically comes to mind is a nerdy, out-of-the-loop, sheltered, glasses wearing, 'Sound of Music' listening, timid person who constantly talkes about school or what intriguing, theological book they just read. Though some people do have some or all of these qualities this picture is completely off target. Some may prefer the classical music, some, like myself, greatly enjoy bands and artists such as Reliant K, Britt Nicole, Thousand Foot Krutch and such others. One (if not the biggest) question which bugs me that people ask after finding out you're a homeschooler is, "Do you have any friends?" -this always makes me chuckle, especially after getting done with a week of constant get-togethers, sport events, and activities, WITH friends. Yes, there are marked differences from most public schoolers and homeschoolers, like: we dont get snow-days, can snack/drink coffee durring class, wear fuzzy slippers while doing algebra and never get teachers we don't like. Yes, I for one (though I can't speak for all other homeschoolers) have been to a concert, yes, I have played sports, yes, I have watched movies other than 'Old Yeller' and 'Finding Nemo', yes, I do enjoy a good game of PS2, yes, I do believe God is my savior and redeemer, and yes, someday I hope to own a motorcycle. So, as you can tell, sounds like quite an adventure! :)

The Quote that Started it All

"Adventures are funny things.

They may creep out of holes,

appear down a seldom trodden path,

fall out of a tree,

or even arrive in an envelope,

but they always start in the same way.

Adventures always begin with the unexpected..."
