And The Answer is...

momma, you are good! The actual scene was taken from the "short" based on St. Patrick and how he came to be known as St. Patrick.

The word of the week post has been updated as well.

Good Job, Mrs. Hart. Did you know that all by yourself or did your hubby help?!

Thanks for playing along, everyone!

Sleep-Over / Name That Movie

Last Friday night the children had a sleep-over.

SLEEP-OVER: when one set of children (either both girls or both boys) sleep over in the other children's room.

I am not sure how this activity got started. I just know that for some reason during the school year, this is what they like to do. They do not do it as often as they used too, as both rooms have 2 dressers, 2 beds, bookcases and desks. There just isn't enough room in their rooms.

Those who are on FB, have been kept somewhat up-to-date with the progress of our new room. For those of you not aware, that post will be coming soon.

Anyway, we finished the carpet on Thursday night and come Friday, they wanted to have a sleep-over in our new room. Before the sleep-over, they were able to watch a movie and we could hear the children laughing all the way down in the basement. The following is a scene from the movie.

Name That Movie:

First Word of 2009-10 School Year

* UPDATED WITH ANSWER

I know you have all been waiting anxiously for this week's word. Things have been busy this week with school, and it being only the second week, well.... anyhow.



This week our word is:



HEGEMONY  [hi-jem-uh-nee, hej-uh-moh-nee] noun, plural -nies.

1.	leadership or predominant influence exercised by one nation over others, as in a confederation.

2.	leadership; predominance.

3.	(esp. among smaller nations) aggression or expansionism by large nations in an effort to achieve world domination.

This word did not come from Vocabulary / Spelling V, but from the list I mentioned in an earlier post.



Have fun!

Look What I Found

I was busy checking out some new blogs. I stumbled upon this one and thought it was worth taking note of.

JohnDeereMom is having a give-away and I am sure you are aware that my two boys love, love, love John Deere. The only downside is...the give-away ends tomorrow.

If you have nothing else to do, check out the site.
