Week 25- Winter Blues

-
This week we all kinda felt the winter blues settling in. So, we mixed things up a bit.  I did not take many photos this week, it really seemed like this past week had fewer hours in each day!  I just could not get everything done.

Monday was Martin Luther King Jr day, so we took the day off.  We went and had the oil changed and tires balanced and rotated on the surburban.  We picked up medicine and feed.  We also placed an order for our new table top.  Then we went to a friend's house for awhile to visit.  The kids played video games and had multiple Nerf gun wars, us mom's got to visit for a bit. These visits never seem to last long enough!

Tuesday we focused on math and language arts. Savannah finished her book in language arts, so she got to pick out her a new course.  She picked All things Fun and Fascinating from IEW.


Wednesday morning we spent planning for next year.  I am hoping to get to attend a homeschool convention this year, so I am trying to get everything lined out.  Logan will be in High School next year, so we are entering uncharted territory for us! Savannah will be in junior high, so she gets to start picking some electives.  Lillian will be a 4th grader!  In the afternoon we worked on math and language arts.

Thursday morning the kids all worked on their WWII projects.  Lillian and Savannah finished their projects, Logan still has a few more days to finish his.  Thursday afternoon everyone worked on math and language arts.

Friday the only subject we did was math.


Our other events this week were:

Sunday the youth from our church went to see Mega Force Ministries.  They loved it!



Monday was music and taekwondo.


Tuesday afternoon we had a meeting with Logan's care coordinator.

Wednesday was Kid's Club, trap practice, church potluck, then Bible study.


Thursday we stayed home!!

Friday the girls had a 4H meeting then all the kids went to eat supper with Meme and Papa and spend the night.



Tonight was movie night.

Hope you all had a wonderful 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...
