Week 41- So close we can taste it!

-

Summer break is so close we can taste the watermelon and popsicles! We had a pretty relaxed week and finished up some things this week.

In school this week:

Savannah completed her language arts curriculum.  Logan is on his very last assignment, which is a book report.  Lillian is working on her summer language program, we are going slow.

Everyone is still working on math PACE'S.




We talked about a few things on our science calendar.

The kids all worked on their rockets. Savannah is trying to get her ship finished also.




In other activities:

Sunday was Mother's Day, my family was so sweet to me! I'm very blessed to have such a wonderful family.

We had Monday Music.

I got to have lunch with a dear friend of mine! We planted some more plants in the garden, cherry tomatoes and sweet peppers.



I had a doctor's appointment, Meme and Papa took the kids fishing. Then they had trap practice for the last time this season.



Thursday was our last homeschool group event.  I had such a good time visiting with the other moms and gaining some insight to some questions I've been asking myself for several months. I also feel a great weight off my shoulders knowing I will not be planning any more events.

Friday we stayed home, the kids swam.
We also worked on some Fly Lady things. We are taking baby steps!

Saturday was our last Trap Tournament! I'm so glad to have some free Saturday's!! After the tournament we went fishing with Meme and Papa and had a picnic lunch. We had a fun morning, it rained and stormed all evening.








Next week is our official last week of the school year!! Woohoo!! We are so ready!

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...
