So here are my updates from this past week:
Korri Teats Ray is looking forward to a Sabbath day of rest. Our family needs it!
my dear husband stubbed his toe on one of the boys outdoor treasures, (a eucaliptis tree branch that fell into our yard and the boys have some great plans for it) but it made me laugh to see Michael holding the starfish ice pack to his toe. Guess I need to buy a manly ice pack!
Bear naked... caught your attention didn't I, now let me finish my sentence. Bear naked granola is the best! I have found a new favorite cereal and have replaced my nightly popcorn with a bowl of bear naked granola. And the name makes me sound rebellious even though I totally am not.
My daughter just stubbed her toe and then told me she was so sad because it was her favorite toe. She then went on to tell me that she has a favorite finger too and it's her tallest one. She went on to proudly (and innocently) show me how tall her middle finger is.
Binomial nomenclature. I like that word, it makes me feel smart. The kids and I did some classification in homeschool this morning for our Botany study and I just really like that word. Binomial nomenclature. Binomial nomenclature.
I love my daughter's enthusiasm for home school but her waking up between 5:30 and 6 a.m. ready to get started doesn't work for me. School starts around here at 8 a.m. not 6 a.m. But I do love her enthusiasm, let's just push it out about an hour or two! :)
why did the chicken cross the road? He had to go to the bathroom. Why did the chicken cross the road? To go to church. Why did the chicken cross the road? To go see fireworks. Annagrace told me these jokes tonight and she was laughing so hard she could hardly contain herself. I was laughing too but more because her laughter is contagious.
"Your life is the occasion, rise to it!" I love that, this line stood out to me when I was watching Mr. Magoriums Wonder Emporium.
Very odd for a Friday night, Anna put herself to bed before 8:30. Camden is quietly playing playdough by himself at the school table, and Jadon is sitting and not talking. It appears the kids are very mellow and that is very rare.
has found myself spontaneously laughing at something my oldest son did today. We were at Starbucks earlier today and he was sitting at the table behind me, a lady came up to take one of the extra chairs and after she said hi to him she asked him what his name was. He knew not to tell a stranger his name so he thought real fast and did what he thought was right and told her his name was Fred. Fred! I asked him how he came up with Fred, and he told me he knew he had to think quick so it wouldn't appear like he was making it up and Fred was the only name he could think of quickly. He so doesn't look like a Fred to me and I couldn't stop laughing. The sad thing is this happened right behind my back and I wasn't aware of any of it so I guess it's good he knows his stranger danger, now for a lesson on honesty.
It's amazing what a family of 5 can accomplish when they all work together. The chicken coop is cleaned out and replaced with fresh grass clippings and hay, daily chores done, the yard work is done, two cars washed, and swimming when the above was all said and done. Now on with a relaxing Saturday and Dave Ramsey LIVE at church tonight!
Dave Ramsey was fabulous, the church was PACKED, standing room only. Now off to a sushi date with my husband. Yummy!
enjoyed sushi with my husband but not enjoying the fact that we have a sick kid with a high fever. At least tomorrow we can lay low and have a jammie day.
And now for a few pictures from this week:
Our chicks are almost 4 months old which means it's almost time for the egg laying to begin! We will probably have us some eggs by the end of September! They are doing great, growing up so fast and we are still enjoying them so much. We love our chicks!
Anna has been doing her night time devotions lately with no prompting from me. She loves to read her Bible and she also loves to use a highlighter in her Bible. She is very good about not highlighting the whole page and usually only picks a few verses she likes. And then before she goes to sleep she reads them to me. I get a kick out of what she chooses to read. I hope this is a habit that will last her as she grows into a young lady and into her adult life.
Today we spent time working on outdoor chores as a family. Camden and I worked on the chicken coop while Anna and Michael washed the cars. Jadon is sick today so he wasn't much help. This is the only picture I took because I was too busy cleaning the coop.
Anna wrote a note to Camden today on a peice of paper and didn't want him to see it so she folded it up and stuck it in her headband. It reminded me of the Old Testament jewish people who carried scriptures around on their foreheads in little boxes. I can't think of the name of what it is called but it sure reminded me of that but it wasn't holy writing on this particular note. This note was telling Camden that she was mad at him because he wouldn't play what she wanted to play.
I didn't take that many pictures this week but my goal for this next week is to get more pictures of the boys. They don't really care much for being in front of the camera and Anna is always a willing participant so that is why she is in 9 out of every 10 pictures I take. Well, that sums up my first "from facebook to blogbook" post unless I can come up with another catchy name but for now this is what I will call it.
