Week 15-A full week

-


According to my earnest expectation and my hope, that in nothing I shall be ashamed, but that with all boldness, as always, so now also Christ shall be magnified in my body, whether it be by life, or by death.
Philippians 1:20 KJV


That verse was amongst our Bible readings this week and it really stood out to me.  Oh to be as brave as the Christians of Paul's time.  I find it hard sometimes to speak with strangers about my faith....and I am not afraid of the type of hardships thrown upon Christians during the time of the Roman Empire. I pray continually for the confidence to walk in the fullness of life for Jesus Christ.

We only had three days of school this week.  Monday and Friday, Logan had appointments in Hot Springs.  However, we got a lot accomplished while we were home.

Bible: In our new Bible study we have met the Philippines, met Paul, and discussed standing firm with other Christian people.

Science: We made our new Science folder, and dug out all our rock samples and spent some time looking at the different types of rocks.






Math: Everyone is continuing on.


Read Aloud:. We read through chapter 4 of The Ears Of Louis.  So far we like it.  We have had many discussions on the fact that many kids say the meanest things to people they hardly even know.  I do not know why this happens.

History: We started our next American Girl book, Kit.  We also read through William Bradford's Thanksgiving speech.  If you ever wonder if our country was founded on Christian beliefs, I urge you to go back and read the letters and speeches of our forefathers.

Language Arts: Everyone just got one lesson completed in this subject this week.

Art: We did several art projects this week.  We made homemade cinnamon Play-Doh and sculpted with it.  We did a multimedia project, a button tree.  We also went on a nature walk to see God's artwork and made glycerin leaves with some of our better finds.











I wanted to take a moment and express my thankfulness to our church family for gifting Logan with his Trac chair.  I know it is a simple thing to most, but my heart was filled with joy this week as I watched him on our nature walk.  In the past, he has spotted things he wanted and the girls and I would go get it for him.  This year, he has the freedom to go gather on his own.  We are so blessed by our church family.






This week, both Logan and Shane killed nice bucks.  I am thankful for full freezers again!



This week I also had time to finish a project.  The kids made the string art arrows and I made the sign.


I truly hope everyone has a very blessed Thanksgiving this upcoming week!!

And opt out of Black Friday and spend it with those you love!!

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...

Week 26

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...
