Week 42-2018/2019 School Year Complete

-
Savannah got a new trap vest for highest score/most improved at our last tournament!

We are officially finished with our school year!  Wednesday was our last day.  We are all so ready for a break and change of pace.

In school this week:

We just really had an easy week.  Everyone finished up on a few things in language and found a good stopping point for math.  We are taking at least one week completely off from any school work before starting our summer schedule.

Savannah found a red toad in our yard.

In other happenings:

Sunday after church Lillian stayed for a going away party for a student from her class.

Monday Music happened.

Tuesday we had a meeting with Logan's case worker. It is so frustrating because everything has to be electronic these days.  We met at the library because she can never get her wifi to work at our house.  Well, it didn't work there either.  The kids checked out new books, and so did I.  I was excited to know I would have some time for just plain ole enjoyment reading. We also ran a bunch of errands in town.

Wednesday was church Bible study.  I'm glad we went, there was a message for me. I felt blessed to receive personal encouragement. I'm having a hard time medically right now, and I know it could be so much worse, and I truly am blessed, but I've been feeling discouraged non the less. I came away feeling better.

Thursday we went and shelled peas and canned peas at Meme and Papa's. Also, one of our cows finally had her baby!! It is so cute!




Friday I spent working in the yard.  We had gotten behind on yard work with all the rain we have had.

Saturday Shane and I finished as much as we could in the yard, some parts are still too wet to mow.  Then we went to our Church's monthly singing. It is the first one we have been able to attend. We will be trying to catch some more, we really enjoyed it.

Savannah finally finished her cutty sark ship this week!  It was a bit more complicated than we thought it would be, hanging all those sales were tedious!



Lillian worked more on her rocket this week too.



I feel like we accomplished a lot this school year.  I feel like there are changes coming for next year, but I'm not sure what those are going to be. I'm trying really hard to just enjoy our day to day and listen for God's guidance for next year. So far, he is telling me to not plan yet.

I hope you all had a blessed 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...

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...
