Heb. 4:12

And I used to appear to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob as God Almighty, but as respects my name Jehovah I did not make myself known to them.

Sickness, Sewing and Super 70s!

What do these three things have in common?

Well, the whole crew has been sick for the past two weeks.  Some­times only one or two, never all at the same time — we took turns.

So, we didn’t get much accom­plished in the way of school.

We did our weekly bible read­ing, which had a nature study idea built […]

Oh, what we’ve been doing!

Last week, we had a great time!

We kicked off our Home­school PE — we did curl-ups.  We had to see how many we could do in one minute.  Can I just say, doing curl-ups makes you won­der if a minute really takes 60 sec­onds!  I man­aged to eek out 14.  I was proud of my 14, […]

Bread Photos

Ok, so in my last post, I said I would post a pic of our Pumpkin bread.

Well, that day, I made what turned out to be Persimmon/Pumpkin bread.

#1 Son labeled it Per­sump­kin bread.  Clever, Right?

Any­way, the bread was sooooooooo good that we for­got to take a pic­ture. (insert blush­ing face here)

I’m slowly learn­ing my camera’s fea­tures. I […]

Another Week has come and gone

This week started rather slowly.  The Prin­ci­pal of our school, AKA “Daddy” was home for the day, so it made school almost impossible.

We unschooled that day.

We had fun with our Art Study.  We’re fin­ish­ing up our study of Mary Cas­satt, and, well, I was inspired to do some­thing… well… interesting.

I picked a handful […]

PE?">Homeschoolers do PE?

After read­ing Barb’s moti­vat­ing post about how she imple­mented PE into the home­school­ing sched­ule, I set out on a search to find some­thing we could do!

I found this — HomeschoolingPE.com!!

Hoorah!  I’m so excited.  This is awe­some! This is put together in such a way that even I think I can han­dle it.  One activ­ity a day, […]

We’re turning into Knit Wits!!!

For those of you who may have fol­lowed my cro­chet blog, (which was recently merged with this one), you know my plight about learn­ing to knit.

Well, Flower Picker has been pre­tend­ing to knit with two pen­cils… no yarn — she’s just rub­bing two pen­cils together at the tips. :-{

So, I decided that would be our hand­i­craft for […]

It’s Fall, Y’all!

I didn’t get to post last week.  We were a wee bit busy, but we had a good week.

I’m glad to say, that after count­less attempts to track down the elu­sive cat­tail, we found them!  Of course, after we jour­neyed to pho­to­graph and sketch them, a friend of mine informed me that there are cat­tails in […]

Hmmm…

When Bar­bara announced that there would be a new autumn series, I got so excited.  I waited… and waited… and finally, it was announced.

Cat­tails!  Cat­tails? Um, what in the world are cat­tails? Surely, this is some­thing famil­iar only those on the east or west coast, or any­where other than Bayou Country.

I sighed qui­etly to myself, […]

This week, so far…

This week was a 1/2 day school week.  We have a two-day assem­bly this week­end, and I always like to sew new things for the girls and I to wear.  I made myself a skirt and shirt (that’s a first for me!) and I made a skirt and dress for Face.  Flower Picker was in […]

Another Week bites the dust!

Hey — get your hands in the air — Queen is rockin’!

Tee hee, ok, so it was totally pun-y, but I think I got the mes­sage across!  Week 5 is now over.  We had an inter­est­ing week, to say the least.

Our week started with our Theo­cratic Study. We read about some of our fel­low believ­ers in […]
