Week 14- Sabbath Week, Or Not

-
Well we were supposed to be on Sabbath Week this past week, however we decided to not.  We have missed quite a bit of school days for doctor appointments.  So we had not finished all the work we needed to for this past 6 weeks.

We did some fun things this week, and we didn't work as hard as normal school weeks, but we finished everything we needed to.


Bible: This week in Proverbs People we discussed the simple, scorning, and nabal fools.  We also finished the section on the prudent and wise man.  This finished up Proverbs People.

Science- We did not do anything for science this week since we finished this 6 Week's science curriculum a couple of weeks ago.

Math- Everyone just kept right on going, completing 1 lesson a day in Saxon Math.

Read Aloud- We finished up Indian Captive.  The book got much better after the first 3 or 4 chapters. I'm glad we stuck with it.

History- We finished reading Rebecca. It has been a favorite. We also dug out all our WWI posters and finished discussing the war.

Language Arts- Savannah worked more writing her book, but this will now be a "just for fun" project.  Lillian worked more in her new curriculum.  Logan completed two lessons in his IEW.

Now to the fun things we did this week...

Monday: Lillian had Taekwondo and Logan had music.  I got to spend an hour catching up with a wonderful friend that I don't get to see very often.



Tuesday: There has been a really neat traveling ministry in our town this week called Messiah's Mansion.  It was a recreation of the temple. So after we voted, we took the kids to do the tour.  My pictures do not do it justice, it was rainy and foggy.  It was really neat, I'm glad we took time to go see it.







Wednesday: Lillian went to Kid's Club.  Logan and Savannah had trap practice.  Then we went to church and play practice.



Thursday: We finished school early and we went on a nature walk.  It has been really rainy lately, so it was good to be outside! I also took time to gather our new curriculum for the next 6 weeks.





Friday: We got up and went to the park.  I've been promising the girls roller skating for awhile.  We finally were able to make it happen.  The girls skated, Logan shot them with his Nerf gun, Logan and I played beyblades.  We walked the trails a bit.  Some friends stopped by and visited a bit. It was a good relaxing morning!









We also pulled out our big list of fall family fun ideas and checked off all we have done, and decided which things we want to do next.


This weekend the boys will be hunting.  I'm not sure what us girls are going to do.  I'm hoping for a restful weekend!

Oh, and we decided to take the entire week off for Thanksgiving, we have some fun things planned to make up for missing this Sabbath Week.

God bless!

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...
