Camp Ling
Week 2, Day 5 Camp Ling – Word problems, Easy day, more!
OMG OMG OMG! Wait a sec, MamaBear never says OMG. <ahem> We interrupt this posting for some common sense. This morning at 12:01am saw MamaBear….at the movie theaters for the premiere of Harry Potter! Which means…. MamaBear is about as alert and bouncy as a deflated Mylar balloon from the 1970s. So I chose to […]
Week 2, Day 4 – Camp Ling! Beach, Writing, more
Words to the wise, my friends. Going from 0 to 60 in the gym does kinda sorta take its toll! MamaBear confesses, yesterday I ended up overdoing it sooo much, I kinda sorta bagged the entire afternoon and let the kids enjoy themselves online. 🙂 Still, though, lots of fun was had as you can […]
Week 2, Day 3 Camp Ling – Critical Thinking!
I have to admit…. So far, Camp Ling is moving along quite swimmingly indeed! Yesterday, I invested in a years' subscription to EdHelper, and printed out the clan's Algebra and math handouts. It went rather well! And today, HS1 reminded me that he really likes critical thinking breakfast homework like: Michael, Elizabeth, Alexandra, Matthew, Nicholas, […]
Week 2, Day 2, Camp Ling – Squaring numbers, hacking sites
One of the things MamaBear loves about the summer is that it moves sooo quickly. Then again, one of the things MamaBear *hates* about the summer is that playdates kinda sorta (rather expected though, I might add) really screw up Camp Ling! 🙂 Still, though, it's all good. Yesterday HD2 and I became one with […]
Week 2, Day 1 – Camp Ling! Academics start, Alegbra, Sprayground, more
Good morning! Today begins Week 2 of Camp Ling, yay! It started out grand, of course – got the clan up at 6am so we could do our morning jog like so. We jog and run the mooses on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays – Thursdays are morning beach days and Tuesdays, well, I let them […]
Week 1, Day 4, Camp Ling – taking ownership
The day ran by me soooo fast, I only have time now to update! Today's Camp Ling was still in the happy happy joy joy "let's take it easy!" mode; HD2 and I utterly destroyed our lower bodies at the gym (leg day, woot!), HD1 walked the mooses, and we all did a family Dance […]
Week 1, Day 3 – Camp Ling!
Camp Ling has gotten off to a rockin' start!! Again, I'm holding off on academics until next week, so today/tomorrow is simply fitness, exercise and fun. Got the kids up early today to run the mooses and (get this!) we benchmarked our pullup ability. HD2 can do….2. And that about says it all. 🙂 So! […]
Week 1, Day 2 – Camp Ling! (Crushing legs, blogging, more)
Good morning! Hope your night was filled with lots of sleep and rest, MamaBear's was….not. Wah. Methinks HD2 and I destroyed ourselves soo much during Camp Ling Strength Training…it simply caused a wee bit of discomfort when it came time to sleep. Add to that other personal issues, and voila, you have a recipe for […]
Week 1, Day 1 – Camp Ling Begins!
>Yawn…<…… That's the sound MamaBear's cubs make after being awakened at 6am to begin the glorious adventure known as Camp Ling! Yes indeed, today I began the 6th year of the summer camp I run for my 4 kids. And let me tell you, exciting and dramatic and spine-tingling and otherworldly…..it was *not*. But really […]
