It has been such a crazy week so far. Monday's arguement with Joey, led to the making of an inspirational chain to count down the days left in public school. So far, it's working great! The 1st two messages were: 1- No one is perfect-that's why pencils have erasers. 2- The only place where dreams are impossible is in your own mind. He is loving these, plus it gives us an interpretive conversation piece. It's been fun hearing what he thinks the messages means, and then sharing what I think they mean. this was an excellent experiment!
We attended Joey's book fair/art show last night. His art is amazing....he definitely did not get his art skills from me! We went through the book fair, and I found 42 books for his home education lessons and only spent $11.60! The most reasonable of these books, I've found online, was $28 each!
Today is mid week to one of the busiest weeks we've had yet! We will attempt to plant the garden tonight, groceries tomorrow night, bonfire Friday night, Fun City Amusement park Saturday all day, and a 3-d bow shoot Sunday. Next week appears to be calmer....for now. We have Richard's youngest sisters Prom grand march next Saturday...but that is all that's on the calender for now.
I have been gathering info for some weekend vacations for our family. We have discussed a trip to Morris to see family, a trip to Springfield, IL and Springfield, MO. A trip to Hannibal to see the cave, and I would love to make a trip to St. Louis for some seafood and a trip to the science center...and maybe a trip to Chicago to the zoo, shed aquarium, and the Musium of Science and Industry.
I think that's a brief update. I am sure to have more later! : )
This crazy but wonderful life we live. Home education, self-sufficient living, learning, growing, and finding our way on our farm and in life. Teaching frugality, logic, and common sense. Grab some coffee and enjoy my regular writings on current subjects and interests.
