Week 29-Sabbath Week

-
You ever have a week in which you are extremely busy all week, but at the end of the week you don't feel like you got anything accomplished? That was the kind of week I had. The weather was also nasty all week, and that doesn't help our moods.

Lillian started work on her animal homes project.

It was Sabbath week for us, so no daily list of school subjects to complete each day. The kids each did three math lessons, reading, and worked on personal projects.

Savannah made candles.

We finished our read aloud on John Bunyan.

Logan had music.


We all had trap practice.


We had another local mission, we visited with an elderly lady who just got out of the hospital.

Savannah also made blue slime.

We met with a new walking group this week. We are hoping this will take the place of therapy for awhile.

Logan and Dad had doctor appointments.

Dad taught a Hunter's Ed class today, so the kids and I tagged along to help.




You know those seeds I planted back in the fall? Well they have finally started coming up. I planted some cabbage this week too.



Savannah and I did some driveway beautification this week. Hopefully it will look nice.


We bought raspberry and grape plants, but we have not gotten them planted yet.

Dad and I also lost a good friend and mentor this week. He was the kind of man that wasn't afraid to give you the truth, gave solid advice, and always made sure I was being well taken care of. I will dearly miss Anthony Quinn. I know he is dancing in heaven today, and I will see him again one day. Prayers for his family.

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...
