Summer Week 5

-

We had a great week.  Our summer has been going so well. Here are the highlights from the week.

Sunday after church we helped Meme and Papa snap beans. The rest of the day was just rest and church.

Monday, Dad had a job interview and ran some errands in town.  The kids and I tried to get caught up on housework.

Tuesday, Dad and Savannah went to the eye doctor.  Then they went to Texarkana and bought us a new to us vehicle! We are loving it!


Wednesday was Savannah's birthday trip.  We went to Shreveport Louisiana and went to the aquarium and Sci-port museum. We had such a wonderful trip!







There was an outside part with native aquatic plants and animals.





This aquarium had so many hands on exhibits!  We got to touch and learn about animals that live in tide pools





We got to pet and feed the variety of rays. This was a favorite!





We got a natural manicure from the cleaner shrimp.



We got to touch jelly fish.



We also got to watch an octopus feeding.  This octopus was so funny! They are so smart and amazing!



We ate lunch in the Salt Cafe there at the aquarium.


The museum was tons of fun too. It is a complete hands on interactive museum.













Thursday was a home day.  I did run to the library to turn in some books and grab some snack food.

Friday the kids had friends over all day.  They swam, sang karaoke, played board games, and played video games.  They had a blast! We are so thankful for the blessing of good friends!

Saturday was youth game day at our church. They had a short devotional and played games. It was a blast! We are so thankful for Jon and Philip, for them to take time out of their lives to speak love and light into our kiddos.





Every spare moment of the week Dad and I (mostly Dad) have worked on a remodel of our bedroom.  It is looking so much nicer, I'm really liking the change.  It is just almost completely done, we are down to the finishing touches.

It was really a fun 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...
