Week 33- Spring Break

-
Spring is here!! I'm so thankful for spring. We took the entire week off from school and just did some fun things!

Monday the girls went and stayed at some friends' house for awhile.  They went out to eat, played some games, and watched a movie.  Logan, Shane, and I went to Meme and Papa's to help plant some in the garden.  We got the trellis up on the sweat peas, planted potatoes, onions, and squash.



Tuesday Lillian had a trip with our church.  They went out to eat, went bowling, and then to a park to play.  She had a blast!  Tuesday afternoon we had our monthly meeting with Logan's care coordinator.







Wednesday we cleaned in the yard all day and burned limbs and such. We also spent a great deal of time searching for a tractor part and getting groceries.


Thursday the kids had trap practice and then we had some friends over for a cookout.

Friday we were out the door early for art classes.  Then we set out for northern Arkansas for a Homeschool convention!! We had so much fun, connecting as a family, learning new things, and just looking through a million homeschool options! Our hotel had an indoor pool, the kids wasted no time getting an early start to their swimming!




On the way home Saturday evening we stopped at Devil's Den State Park.  There wasn't much to see, the caves were all closed due to the bats being sick.  However it was a good resting point on the long trip home.  Plus, now we can mark that state park off our list because we have visited it!




We had a great time!  It was a very encouraging trip!

Now it's back to school!!

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...
