Week 10- When Mom is Sick

-
It was a rough week.  My husband and children are wonderful blessings.  I'm very thankful for them all!  I was so sick most of the week.  It started last Friday and lasted until this Thursday.  I think it was a reaction to my flu shot.  I had quit taking them several years back because they make me so sick, but last year we all had the flu, so I toughed it out... barely!

This week in school:

Bible: We finished our section in Proverbs People on the diligent man and started the section on the wicked man.  Children see things so much clearer than adults do sometimes I believe.

Science:. We painted a representation of plant cells.  We also started our Botony folders.  This week the focus has been on plant parts.





Math: Lillian had a test in Saxon Math and completed two lessons.  Logan and Savannah each completed three lessons.

History: Logan completed two lessons in his history.  He also sat in with the girls in history.  We are learning a song in Hebrew.  We also have been learning how the Jewish people celebrate the Sabbath. We also started talking about WWI.


Language Arts:. Logan is almost finished with his Language Arts book.  So I am looking for what he is going to be doing next. The girls each just continued on in their lessons.



STEM: Friday was our class at Grandview.  We learned about waterfoul and talked a bit on conservation. Each family then got to construct a wood duck house for conservation and to provide safe habitat for the year around duck.




Other happenings this week:

Monday- Lillian had Taekwondo and Logan had music. Dad pulled double duty because I was so sick.

Wednesday- I had a meeting with Logan's case manager about insurance.  Lillian went to Kids Club.

Saturday: Dad took Logan and Lillian hunting and Savannah stayed with me and made a pear pie.




I am glad I am finally feeling better.  The weather has been a bit rainy, but wonderful temperatures! I'm glad we can now get outside and enjoy God's creation!

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...

Summer Week 9

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...
