Be Still, Have Faith, & Teach On!

We have really enjoyed this past week.  With the exception of some rain a couple of days, the weather has been wonderful.  Spring has finally arrived to our area!!  We also accomplished a lot in our school books this week.  The school year is beginning to wind down. Sunday our church surprised Logan with a gift.  This gift is too big for words.  It's amazing.  It has opened up new possibilities for our lives.  We are so thankful and blessed to have such a wonderful church family. Monday we started with a workout video. Then we added in something new to our mornings.  Each child started working on a prayer journal to help them grow in learning how to pray. We had Home Ec morning.  Lillian made blackberry bread, Savannah made a peach cobbler, Logan put on a crock pot of pinto beans, and I made homemade bread. (The girls helped me with the kneading!) I also made new chore charts, so we spent time learning some new chores....

We had another week of non traditional school.  We all worked on projects all week, and had some great eye witness learning experiences. Sunday night Lillian sang a special at church.  If I teach my children nothing except to work for the Lord, I will consider it a great success. Monday we officially added PE time back  into our daily schedule.  We did chair boxing, and my arms were sore the rest of the week! Afterwards, everyone worked on reading their biography they chose for their projects. We had home ec time, Savannah made a delicious carmel apple pie.  Logan learned how to fly his new drone. In the afternoon we went horse back riding and to music. Tuesday, dad officially finished building our raised bed vegetable garden! Savannah made some more glycerin soaps.  Everyone worked on their biographies some more.  Then we started working on our garden.  It is the girl's history project, they were to make a garden like Josephina'...
