Creative Homeschool Exerience

Yesterday, Iditarod Race, My Brother and Reading Bible in a Year

    Yesterday we just spent time at home just relaxing. That was nice. Just the family and I got some time with hubby too. So that was good. Other than that we didn't do much yesterday at all. Today we did some things. We went to Bob Evans for a late breakfast and then we went shopping so my youngest could pick out a toy from the money he got for his birthday from Grandma. Then we came home and I really cleaned the school/computer/toy room lol. Because since we use it for so much it gets messy really quickly. I still need to dust around it but not today LOL. Will get to it someday.

    I am getting excited about doing the study with my oldest (maybe my youngest too if he is interested LOL) on the Iditarod races. I joined that Yahoo group and now the membership is now closed to new members. Starting Monday - Feb 2 I believe we have to start making a wall map of Alaska and the Iditarod trail. The race starts in March and the boy's will get to pick a Musher and we get to track them as they get to their check points. I plan to do little crafts with them too as we go along. The race lasts any where from nine to twelve days. I am still learning more about it and I have to say I am excited about it. I know my oldest seemed pretty excited about it too. So we shall see how that goes.

    Found out last night when my brother called that he got into an accident. He said he went to stop and hydroplaned into another car. Thank the Lord everyone was fine including my brother. I am glad he called me to let me know though. He was just married in Oct and has their eight month old baby girl to take care of. Glad he was wearing his seatbelt and the air bag worked. No one but him was in the car with him so that was good too. He is just a little sore today when I called him. Praise God he is ok though. He's my baby brother so I worry about him a lot. He is six years younger than I am. So to me he really is my baby brother LOL. His car is totaled but he has two more vehicales he can use so that is good.

   I have been doing good at reading the Bible in a year Chronologically. I got the idea originally from A Work In Progress. I printed the study at www.backtothebible.org . I am really enjoying reading it this way and knowing others are doing it together helps keep my on track. Anyone else want to join in? Just go to A Work In Progress blog and let her know you want to join in too!!

I can't believe I missed the sign up for the Iditarod race group again! I tried last year and was too late also. I'm glad your brother is ok.
