Starting the day. . . . . . . .

Caleb has a new game.  It’s called “Get Mommy’s Shirts out of her Dresser and Run off with Them”.

 .

Caleb wants yet another shirt.

“Maybe I’ll just put this one on my head”

Caleb put a shirt on his head in the livingroom today and then bounced his mouth off the wall.  Poor crying and bleeding baby!  He’s okay now.

I work better if I am organized.  I have my teacher books/curriculum in little stacks on the top of my dresser.  All of my 4th grade books are on a bookcase.  Their school books, papers, pencil boxes and flashcards are in the armoire in the living room.  Their books are stacked neatly on the front edge of the shelf.  When they are done with a subject, we put the book behind the stack, thus making an “to do” and “done” stack.

David has some tv time.  This is our new computer, where I blog.

My Busy School Children: 

After school today we went to McDonald’s for lunch.  We ordered our food at the drive thru and then went to the park in town.  We ate and then the children played.  There was a friendly young mom there who talked to me quite a bit.  She was quite taken aback by me and my family and I was able to give her a tract, my email and my phone number.  Instead of reading my magazines while the children played, I spent the entire time talking to her.  The sacrifice was worth it.

When we came home I put the kids to bed for reading/nap time and I went to my hammock.  It was so relaxing that I even took a cat nap.  It’s been a week full of excitement!  Thankfully the happy kind!

not to desire to escape life,
but to prevent life from escaping you.  T.Wolfe

  8. Love your site — your pictures are wonderful — do you mind me asking what kind of camera you use?  I’m still using a 35mm but thinking of a new digital — there are so many to choose from — any suggestions?  Not like you’re not busy enough already!!  God bless!!

  10. Thanks for sharing your life here in only the way you can with beauty, sweetness and love.  God bless your heart as you shared God’s love with another one of His children.  How the heavens must have been rejoicing with Christ.  Thanks again for the beautiful pictures especially of your kids, what a joy for you.  God bless, Evalyne

  11. I was homeschooled as a child, and I enjoyed it so much!  I had a friend from Poland, and spending time with her was “cultural studies.” Seriously! She would teach me polish and while she was studying french, she taught me some of that too.  The food her mom cooked was authentic polish, so I always learned so much.
    I don’t know if I will homeschool…. we’ll see!  I certianly applaud your organization!  With 5 kids it must wear you out, but in the end it pays off! I am the oldest of 5 kids, and my mom was SOOO unorganized.  LOL
