For Today
April 19th
Outside my window...Clouds and some rain drops.

I am thinking...I have 54 days until I go through the worst pain in my life to the happiest moment of my life. Weird.

I am thankful for...our fellowship, it's not perfect but it is a great blessing to many.

From the learning rooms...Human Body and marriage, digestive and urinary this week.

From the kitchen...Pork chop casserole, maybe a stir fry later this week, the new kitchen has inspired the cook once again.

I am wearing... Pink pj with snow man on them.

I am creating...more recipes, maybe get a little scrapbook station set up, in the upstairs third bedroom since the little girls won't be in it for awhile.


I am going...to do more grocery shopping.

I am reading..Scarlet Letter, One Year Bible, New Testament and Proverbs and Psalms.

I am hoping...to get my floors mopped today.

I am hearing...T.V. JJ drawing pics instead of his math cause mommy walked away.

Around the house..the usual lived in house. Dishes,toys, laundry to put away.

One of my favorite things...the Word.

A few plans for the rest of the week: coffee with the girls Tuesday morning, and the book club Tuesday night with more of my peeps.

Here is picture for thought I am sharing...Wicked cute!

For Today
April 12th
Outside my window...Sun,sun,sun.

I am thinking...I feel a little better.

I am thankful for...our nice new home, such a blessing.

From the learning rooms...Human Body and marriage

From the kitchen...I am not sure yet going grocery shopping today.

I am wearing... Gray shirt black pants.

I am creating...the usual stuff, recipes, room ideas, homeschool projects.


I am going...to Super Walmart today with the family and going to pay for John's school.

I am reading..Scarlet Letter, One Year Bible, New Testament and Proverbs and Psalms.

I am hoping...we get stuff done today, and this awful sickness goes away and never comes back.

I am hearing...snoring.

Around the house..some toys but so clean probably because it is a new house, the newness will wear off and it will go back to the mess.

One of my favorite things...good health, gees I totally take advantage of this.

A few plans for the rest of the week: Nothing to much human body project, grocery store, some more unpacking.

Here is picture for thought I am sharing...God is so good to us!

Field Trip Bob Sugar House

This months field trip was to a traditional sugarhouse, where they turn sap from the maple tree to some yummy but expensive maple syrup. Not as great as I would have liked it or educational but it was a good time especially for the kids at McDonald's playplace.

Solar System

This unit was very good and very long, some of the verses I really liked that were referenced are. Genesis 15:5,22:17- We serve a big God a great God. Just look at the size of the universe. Genesis 8:22:Job 38:31-33- God is faithful to everything He says He will do.
Exodus 10:21-23- God has not left the universe to spin on its own, but rather He is concerned and controls the movements. My favorite Is 40:12-14 Jeremiah 31:37-If we trust God and believe Him we will have a greater understanding of the universe than the scientists. Deut 4:19-20 Job 31:26-28- The sun, moon, and stars are not to be worshiped or feared.

Along with a solar system model we did a map and two solar system books from Enchanted Learning, we read a ton of books "Magic School Bus Into the solar system" "Why is Pluto not a Planet" "The Children's Space Atlas" "Magic Tree House Space" and some others. We really wanted to go to the Observatory at UMO but never got there, we will eventually.

Solar System

Packing and moving did slow down our school, but we plunged ahead and finished the solar system unit. Here is the kids putting together the solar system model. It was 6.99 on Amazon next time we will do the Styrofoam model.
