http://www.corpuschristifamily.com/pages/CorpusChristiFunMattersBlog Blog about family fun in Corpus Christi. Everything from having fun at home to having fun in and around Corpus Christi. Includes event , trip, or visit reviews. <img src="http://www.corpuschristifamily.com/livesite/" alt="Lego " width="400" height="400" align="middle" /><img src="/files/IMG_0063.jpg" alt="Lego Games Tour" title="IMG_0063.jpg" width="400" height="533" /><img src="http://www.corpuschristifamily.com/livesite/" alt="" /> A couple of weeks ago, we made the trip to Austin, TX for the Lego Games Tour. It was the closest tour city to Corpus Christi and since our son and now apparently our daughters are lego fanatics, we didn't want to disappoint them. After all, when the flyer came from lego saying they would be in Austin, my son asked his dad if he would take him and he did. He took all of us plus our nephew, their cousin, to what ultimately led to a day of triumph, satisfaction, and total joy! http://www.corpuschristifamily.com/pages/blog_posts?r=UJGNFGGJBG Wed, 01 Sep 2010 14:29:34 -0500 <img src="/files/twilightpremiere.jpg" alt="twilightpremiere.jpg" title="twilightpremiere.jpg" width="500" height="394" /> It was 7pm when I ran into Danielle, Diania, Megan, and Mary at the Stadium 16 Starplex Cinema in Corpus Christi last night. They had been waiting in line since 3 pm and were looking at another 5 hours wait just to be one of the first few to get to see The Twilight Saga: Eclipse. http://www.corpuschristifamily.com/pages/blog_posts?r=ZJ15PJNWQ2 Wed, 30 Jun 2010 20:44:13 -0500 There is not an RSS category specified in the form. Telling your kids to wipe off that Milk Moustache in the morning? Why worry about it when it's the thing to have at the National 'Milk the Moment' Tour scheduled to arrive in Corpus Christi? http://www.corpuschristifamily.com/pages/blog_posts?r=3RIVP3C8AF Wed, 19 May 2010 11:10:17 -0500 There is not an RSS category specified in the form. Thank You, Thank You very much...We recently visited a local restaurant in northwest Corpus Christi that turned out to be a lot of fun. Why? Elvis was in the building! http://www.corpuschristifamily.com/pages/blog_posts?r=6P7Y6OVH79 Fri, 16 Apr 2010 12:00:33 -0500 There is not an RSS category specified in the form. My kids are naturally inquisitive, aren't yours? Kids will be kids afterall. They love the dirt, mud, puddles of water, insects and bugs of all kind. You can say that they are naturally attracted. I'm guessing my kids are not alone! Do any of these statements sound familiar. . . http://www.corpuschristifamily.com/pages/blog_posts?r=HOLLQSKKEV Tue, 13 Apr 2010 14:44:15 -0500 There is not an RSS category specified in the form. If your kids are in Spring sports, then you know what I mean when I say, 'catch your breath!' I mean after all, with practice or a game everyday including Sunday, no kidding, and sometimes two to three sporting events a day, it can get a little hectic around here even if we homeschool! So you see, we're not that different from you after all. http://www.corpuschristifamily.com/pages/blog_posts?r=GMVQSN3PK1 Thu, 08 Apr 2010 20:30:04 -0500 There is not an RSS category specified in the form. Yeah! It's Spring and for us, it also means it's crazy around here. After all, between Spring Break, Easter, Holy Communion, Baseball, Kickball, a couple of birthdays, plus helping to plan a 50th Wedding Anniversary for my parents this summer, we're lucky to keep our heads on straight(well, it's straight most of the time at least)! What we also think of is planting and growing our Spring Garden. So, the question I ask today is what's growing in your garden? http://www.corpuschristifamily.com/pages/blog_posts?r=OUTOVKTX12 Sun, 28 Mar 2010 23:24:53 -0500 There is not an RSS category specified in the form. With Easter about a month away, I'm actually happy with my confetti egg (or cascarones) preparations. Yes, it's true, I am prepping for Easter. There, I admitted it! Why wait until the last minute? If you want confetti eggs without needless waste and without rushing, why not start now? Oh I hear you, 'why don't you just buy them? I'll tell you why and it's a bigger answer than you think. http://www.corpuschristifamily.com/pages/blog_posts?r=SNJV9JW6UM Thu, 04 Mar 2010 22:18:53 -0600 There is not an RSS category specified in the form. Having to tell a six and seven year old that they have to wake up early the next day to pick up trash was something we thought would not go over well. After all, how many kids their age really enjoy doing their chores or picking up anything? Add to that the agony of waking up extra early on a Saturday morning, you would think that you would end up with grouchy children and a very long day for the parent. http://www.corpuschristifamily.com/pages/blog_posts?r=X36E9W39MS Sat, 26 Sep 2009 23:14:59 -0500 There is not an RSS category specified in the form. The Texas Maritime Museum, located close to Corpus Christi in nearby Rockport, is a good place to get a glimpse of what life was like for explorers in 1684. http://www.corpuschristifamily.com/pages/blog_posts?r=BSFFDN3W0L Sun, 13 Sep 2009 23:30:12 -0500 There is not an RSS category specified in the form. Yeah for Homeschool Days! Nowadays, there are many museums and places that offer programs specifically geared for homeschoolers. History Museums, Science Museums, or Children's Museums are all examples of places that offer Homeschool Days. Here in Corpus Christi, one such place is the Texas State Aquarium. http://www.corpuschristifamily.com/pages/blog_posts?r=MF356TF10D Sun, 13 Sep 2009 01:09:37 -0500 <p> &nbsp; </p> <p> &nbsp; </p> Homeschooling Groups can be a wonderful asset to many homeschooling families. For a newbie homeschooler, a homeschooling group can be one of your best resources for a variety of reasons. If you're out there trying to determine whether a homeschool group is right for you, consider this: Do you want it for socialization purposes or for educational purposes? http://www.corpuschristifamily.com/pages/blog_posts?r=5YM30TQ50O Thu, 27 Aug 2009 23:14:09 -0500 There is not an RSS category specified in the form. I know my kids were exposed to Art in their classrooms and certainly at home in the form of crafts and drawings, but we weren't sure where to start when it came to actually teaching them about the basics of Art, colors, lines, textures, etc....you get the point. What we found was a good introduction to Art for children online called KinderArt. It's a great website. http://www.corpuschristifamily.com/pages/blog_posts?r=3R22HGKC7K Tue, 11 Aug 2009 23:18:34 -0500
