School started with a bang!
Well, we're in week 2 of school and it's busy, busy! After our last minute switch-a-roo in cores, we're trekking along in Core 5. I had planned to do Cores 1/6 with my 1st & 5th graders, but the first book of Core 5 was a bit sensual, so I got on the SL forums and learned I really needed to back up and do Core 5. That meant I need to also do something else for my 1st grader, since I want them to study the same time periods together. God provided all I needed in my new friend :) I've never had to borrow a Core before and I'm finding it humbling. I have to have peace about an almost empty homeschool shelf-where I usually store 2 cores! We decided to have Hope follow along with Ash, doing her own LA and Math and some of her own read alouds. Borrowed books and slimmed down supplies (for Hope) don't take up much room. I've never realized how proud I was or how much security I derived from having all those shiny new books all lined up on the shelf. God is stretching me all the time, girls!
We're hoping for a great week at our house, since Shane was finally able to take vacation from work. When J was born, he only took a few days since they were so short handed. He wasn't even able to take off for my Grandpa's funeral since he was in "jail school". So, now we're basking in the presence of a daddy who doesn't have to sleep all day so he can go to work at night! Yippee!
Believe it or not, I'm being stretched, here too. I encouraged (against my flesh) Shane to hook up with his brother today, the first day of his vacation. They get so little time together...also, I'm having to be on guard because I know the Devil would love to ambush our time together. We've found ourselves to be weak to spiritual attacks when Shane is off work, so this extended time off means being extra diligent to show the fruits of the Spirit and not be easily offended.
Have a great week in the Lord!
