Fly on the Wall: February 2017
http://thebeginningfarmer.com/50/
This month. Since my last Fly on the Wall in January, I’ve found very little time to really sit and write. And that’s a sad thing considering part of my schtick is teaching people and encouraging folks to write.
I’m going to phone it in this month and show you images from my Instagram feed that kind of sum it all up.
We’re trying to clean up and make a big change this summer. That means cleaning up books. Then, I get help from Baby Diva:
It got weirdly warm in North Carolina for a few days. In fact, it was so warm there were days that we chose to wear capris and t-shirts. On this particular day, I was teased by the warm weather only to get outside and find that it was starting to shift back to chilly. Of course.
The Animal (5) is obsessed/addicted/in love with all things gaming. One of his favorite channels on YouTube is FGTeeV where they often will play video games. As one of his obsessions is Minecraft, and he begged and begged (and worked to earn) to have Minecraft on the computer, he couldn’t wait to share the good news with the folks at FGTeeV.
So we were visiting my parents’ house, and Flash (3) discovered a caterpillar on their porch. It allowed for about a 10 minute science lesson (and touching) about caterpillars. I’m pretty sure this one was dying, but I did move him to a nearby tree instead of forcing him to suffer on the porch with no protection. Flash says that it felt like, “gummy bears.”
This one seems to sum up how we have felt at the house of Genius in the last month. Lots of stuffy noses, quite a bit of coughing, tons of whining and tantrums. But, there’s always the post-tantrum snuggle…and that makes it all worth it (for about 2 minutes).
My friends are playing along with Fly on the Wall. Be sure to check out what’s been going on in their necks of the woods.

Love the idea of a pictorial Fly on the Wall. I got a true glimpse of what goes on in your house. Hope you do this again!
Loved the lesson with the caterpillar. I remember those special teaching moments. Sorry you were all under the weather. But it’s SPRING now!!
mmm a gummy, eww. LOL
I have so many books, I cleaned a bunch out when I relocated 2 years ago.
Being in coastal NC, our weather has been totally out of whack. Up and down, freezing and shorts weather. But I’m loving it.
