Week 20- The half way mark

-
The school year is half over guys!! I really can't believe how fast it has gone by.  It seems like every year moves a bit faster. 

I don't have many pictures from this week.  I have been so sick!! I mostly just dropped kids off at events and struggled to finish up our subjects.  We made it through though! 

We did not do any math or language arts this week.  We also focused on one subject per day to finish up in the subjects we needed to finish. 

Monday and Tuesday we finished up our geology study in science.  We learned about igneous and metamorphic rocks.  We also touched on minerals, metals, and gems.  We did a floating rock experiment.  The kids were surprised to find out there really is a rock that will float.  They thought I was being a little dingy when I told them we were going to do a sink or float experiment with rocks. 


Wednesday we finished our Bible study in Phillipians, "The Heart of Humility." It was a good study.  

Thursday we finished"Meet Molly" in History and finished our study on WWII.  We read a book based on a true story called "The Butterfly." We never got around to watching Monuments Men, but we may over Christmas break. 


Friday I had to cancel our co-op class Geography through Art.  I was simply still to sick.  I had barely a voice and still a sore throat. 

In other happenings:

Monday, Meme came and picked up Logan for music.  I dropped the girls off at a 4H Christmas party.


Tuesday I drove the kids to deliver presents to the residents of two local nursing homes.


Wednesday I was really sick, so I stayed home.  Shane dropped the kids off at a church Christmas party.

Thursday, Friday and Saturday we stayed home except for a little bit of last minute Christmas shopping and grocery buying. 

We will be on Christmas break for the next two weeks.  We have one fun trip planned and a remodel project underway.  Hopefully I will completely recover soon so I can enjoy our break. 

Hope you all have a Merry Christmas!

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...
