Weekly Reflection

Well, I would like to say that this is a weekly reflection from the fourth week of October.  But it isn't.

So, this is last week's(week 3 of October.).

 Our family was given a dresser for the girls.  Now, we won't have them living out of the cute baskets that were also given!  They are so excited!

 There was an impromptu picnic in the front yard when the weather was cooler!

 Here they are coming in from said picnic!

 This was the week before the Fall Festival.  And our boys were painting for their booth on Nehemiah.

 I decided to get crazy and make homemade apple fritters like Publix!

 They were too yummy!

 The cooler weather just makes the trampoline so much more fun!

 The boys are getting ready to help make some sandwiches!

 Yes.  You see a "cheater" bread!  It was a crazy week.  We even took off from homeschool just to get ready the Fall Festival.

 These next several pics are of the boys painting the walls for Nehemiah's Booth.  They put on a play.

 I found the girls doing school late one night...I guess this is at 9p.m. or so.  They were so cute!

 I guess they heard my camera beep.  They looked up at just the right time!

 So silly!  They love their math books!

 Here they are trying out some swivel rocking chairs that I hope to purchase some day, if they are still there when I raise the dollars!

 Here is my booth for the fair...a Photo Booth!  we were in the setting up phase.  Our sweet sister in the Lord, Brett and my sweetie posed for me so I could figure out where to stand with the camera!  Thank you guys!

Photo of several youth working together hauling one of those very heavy tables to another booth!

So, that was last Saturday...and I will update you on week four in October soon.  We have had a bit of sad news.  My mother in law is not doing well after a stroke Sunday morning.  Please pray for our family...they are dealing with many things.

October week 2 Weekly Reflection

So my birthday was this week...and the girls surprised me with this poster and a keychain.

I really love it!

Made homemade chocolate and granola.  This is how Mushy watches the contents because she is too short to look in the pot!  Funny.

Homemade chocolate and granola mixed together to make homemade candy bars.  MMMMM.

We have started eating our granola chopped up instead of in bars.

Here is the chocolate ready to go in the freezer.

Here is some scripture we have had on our hearth since Christmas, but I just had to take a picture to share with you and for Doorposts....I love those guys(and gals).

Sparkplug at work and no play...

They look like they are working...but I am almost certain there must be some playing going on!

Our Social Studies definitions.

I made these curtains this week from some fabric that a dear friend gave me.

A very sweet friend sent me some birthday money to buy something special just for me and I found this at a quaint used furniture store!

My sweet Queen B.  

Here is a better photo of my neat find!

Straightened the craft room for the umpteenth thousandth time!

Sweet Mushy has a picture for me!
It has been a great Birthday week!  Pretty good school week. And now onto the weekend and the start of another week!

Weekly Reflection

Oh how we love fall.  Praise the Lord for Seasonal changes.  Even if it is Florida with all it's heat and humidity!  There are cooler mornings, sweet smells in the air, and wind blowing through the trees. It is going to rain soon.  The smell is in the air along with the dark clouds.  But it is lovely.

Not much really going on here.  Just a little BIG family home schooling and attending and serving at our local church body.  Loving one another and loving Jesus!

 Homeschool is going well.  With a few sick days that are finally over, are getting back to work!  Onto studying Ancient Greece!  Oh it is so fun to do this unit study!  I have been planning and searching for links and free lapbooks and notebooking pages.  I wish I could have been homeschooled!  So much room for the imagination to brim over and create...

 My "Blogger-Writer".  Always with a computer, a journal and pen, or scrap piece of paper ready to write. She actually interviewed my boss from 20 years ago at Publix!  That was funny!

 My sweet twin girls.  They are reading now!  No more spelling things to my husband in front of them!

 Some friends call him "Stompy"!  He was having a frustrating time with his math this day.  We got through it.  Doing okay now.  

 I still am trying figure this one out...puzzling.  I wonder if they are giving cart rides on a wagon?

 Here is our rose amongst the trees.  It is very sunny today.  As I write this post it is sunny and Rainy at the same time.  I tried to get a picture of it to share on here, but just managed to get myself and my camera wet.  Eeek!

 Playing calico critters...such fun, such imaginations, such a mess!  But they will pick it up, I am sure of it.

I love this math program that one of the twin boys is working on.  When we rearranged the living room, we connected the computer to our t.v.  It is interesting.  Now the boys and dad can play civilization and everyone can see!
