Smrt Lernins

Have you submitted your entry to Smrt Lernins first ever “You look like a homeschooler” contest? You have until February 28th to submit a photograph of you looking your stereotypical-homeschooler best. Don’t forget that you get an additional entry into our secondary prize drawing for each time you link to or tweet about our contest (comment to let us know where you linked or your Twitter name so we can count your entries!).

And since all is fair in love, war, homeschooling, and the Internet, here’s a nice teaser of me looking like a homeschooler. My hair was bothering my while I was working on a Smrt Lernins entry, but couldn’t find a hair tie, so I clipped it back with an IKEA bag clip…then forgot about it until several hours later, when Captain Science asked, “Mama, what’s that in your hair.”

Oops. Guess I looked a little like a homeschooler that day!

Lacking an adequate amount of naturally-occurring snow, Atlantans must make do with the manufactured snow at Snow Mountain at Stone Mountain. Stone Mountain is the largest single piece of exposed granite in the world and has this carved on it:

Officer Daddyman (my Midwestern transplant) is unimpressed by the manufactured snow. Patchfire says he looks Canadian in this picture, but really, he looks Toledo-an.

Babypie thought Snow Mountain was the very worst thing ever in her entire life, and she cried all day long.

The Tank worked tirelessly, building snowman after snowman.

Where’s Captain Science?

Smrt Mama and Babypie take a snack break (but only for Babypie).

Back to building a snow fort. Captain Science is super-fierce.

I’m not sure the Tank knew what was coming.
