Summer Week 6- 4H

-
We have been really busy this past week! Lots of great experiences! We stretched outside of our comfort zones this week and learned a lot!

Monday the kids had a 4H meeting where they were supposed to go play Frisbee Golf and have a picnic, but I was not feeling well so we stayed home. I was bummed that they had to miss it, but sometimes those things happen.  Dad took Savannah to 4H practice Monday evening for district competition.

Tuesday was District Competition Day. We got up early and took off to the school where it was to be held.  We have never been. There were way more people there than I imagined would be. Logan's area was crop and seed identification.  He placed 1st. Savannah's area was Fashion Review Dressy Constructed. She placed 2nd.  I am so proud of both of them! They both worked very hard on their projects!





Wednesday Logan and Savannah got to go give a talk, along with others from one of their 4H groups, to our local Rotary chapter.  They did an awesome job! Logan talked about STEM and showed some of his projects he has worked on this past year.  Savannah talked about sewing and showed some of her sewing projects she has completed this year.



Thursday and Friday Savannah got to participate in a local 4H chef school.  They cooked all kinds of delicious food, received gifts and door prizes, and had lots of fun.


Thursday was our Savannah's 11th birthday.  We had a surprise party for her. I can't believe she is 11! I could not make it without this girl.  She helps me all the time! I love her so much!




The next few weeks we should get to stay home more. I am looking forward to staying home!

Lillian and I watched this momma deer and her baby for awhile one day.



Our baby bunnies are growing so fast!



I hope you all had a blessed week.

Week 4 in Review

I really can't believe it is September!  This was our 4th week in school. We still are not doing every subject every day.  What we typically try to do is one day we do our morning subjects of Meteorology, Bible, Geography, Art, Math, and Language Arts, and then the next day do our afternoon subjects of PE/Health, History, Spelling for Savannah, Reading for Lillian, Logan's Elective, Writing, and Science.  We do this until we are familiar with our new curriculum and are more independent so I can divide my time up where I am most needed. We do this until after fair week. For some reason we are never able to get full days of school in until after fair.  I use to fight this and get all stressed out about not having full days...now we just roll with it.  We still end the year right where we need to be, and we get to enjoy getting started back in school instead of it being stressful. Here are a few highlights of this past week. The week started on Sunday with churc...

I didn't keep day to day records this week, but here are the highlights. We had church on church days. 😊 We celebrated an Adoption of some friends of ours. They make such a lovely family, and we will continue to pray for their growth and bonding. Lillian did a couple of science experiments.  She made a tornado in a bottle and an ocean in a bottle. Dad had help from the kids this week with the barn. They finished enclosing it.  All they lack now is making the doors. Lillian, Buddy, and I went to the park one morning. We picked a theme for our homeschool year.  It is going to be "Having Fun in Arkansas."  We are planning to try and visit quite a few state parks that we have not visited before. We will also try to take in a few festivals, AGFC classes, or just look around at what we can find. We were in the hay field one afternoon. Lillian was a great helper. One of our cats had kittens. We have lots of deer coming to o...

Deuteronomy 31:8 "The Lord himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.  Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged." I know Jesus is always with me.  I know He will never leave me.  I take great comfort in that knowledge.  However I often forget the last part of that verse, to not be afraid.  Even more often, I forget to not be discouraged.  I have found myself discouraged a lot this week, and even some pretty scary events have happened this week, one of which is not my story to tell.  We are struggling.  I pray we all find our footing, and joy again soon. Last Saturday when we went to pick up the kids from Meme and Papa's, Logan had made knickerbocker glory from his Harry Potter cookbook.  It was delicious! He did an amazing job! Sunday the kids stayed with Meme and Papa again while Shane and I went to church to teach our classes.  The flu is so bad here!  We are trying to keep f...
