Fall day

Posted in Daily life event

As I mentioned before, I am not much of an outdoor and nature person, but today was a nice sunny day, so I decided to do the "right thing" and took the kids out to play in the leaves and get some much needed sun. We had a very nice time. I actually really love autumn!














Have a great day,

Weekly Wrap-up

Posted in Daily life event

This week was a break week for us. I designed the school year with a few breaks every 4-6 weeks of school. This is our second one since we started school in August. So, what did we do?

Well, Monday was Thanksgiving here in Canada, so we had some guests over and enjoyed a nice dinner.

Tuesday and Wednesday, we went to the Science Center and enjoyed The Body World Exhibit, a nature walk and of course the Kids' park section.

We had a library trip and played games.

Thursday, we stayed home and the kids had a lazy day doing whatever they wanted, as mom was busy getting ready for electives today.

Friday was our regular co-op day which went well.

That's our week in a snapshot, noting fancy, nothing extraordinary, rather lazy and laid back.

Don't forget to hop over at Weird Unscocialized Homeschoolers for more Weekly Wrap-ups.
Hope you all had a great week!

A time to be thankful

Posted in Daily life event

HAPPY THANSKGIVING
to all my Canadian readers

It's Thanksgiving here in Canada and time to have a big dinner. We are having friends over (7 people + our family). My hubby is cooking some lamb, ham, roasties and rice, and I am baking some bread and an apple pudding.

Iy is also, and primarily, time to be consciously thankful for God's goodness.

Our gracious Lord keeps looking after us and caring for us despite our constant disobedience.

Thank you Lord for :
  • Salvation
  • 2 healthy and happy boys
  • A great, caring, loving, hard-working and godly husband
  • The great improvement in my hubby's health
  • Many caring family and  friends
  • All the many little things of life that we take for granted (and that includes our little apartment, our car, the good food we eat on a daily basis, and the ever so changing weather that we often complain about).
I hope that all of you can find things to be thankful for on this day.

Have a great day,

Weekly Wrap-up

Posted in Daily life event

We had a relatively good week this week. Again the basics were covered but somehow mom slacked on History and Science. I will try to cover these tomorrow, if the wind does not blow in a different direction (there is no Violin group tomorrow since it is Thanksgiving week-end here).

We had our week 2 at elective today, and that went well. I have been a bit nervous teaching the Grade 1-3 science group, but so far so good. I am certainly learning quite a bit myself . . . This week was on muscles and I made a model arm which was cool. I'll post how I made it on another post.

We had a nice playdate on Thursday. It had been a while. The kids really enjoyed that and had a great time. And mommy had a nice relaxing time and fellowship as well.

I am actually quite thankful that things have been going rather smoothly lately. I know it is a real blessing! Zach has been mostly cooperating in Math and in his violin practice (which are thing he tends to complain about), and it has been a great encouragement. I am learning to really tailor what needs to be done to how much he can handle. That is a real skill!

Even Joho has been doing reading and Handwriting with his dad, and it has been great! I have been able to sneak in some Math from time to time.

Here is Zach entitling his narration story without me asking him to do it (I was rather impressed by his initiative; keep in mind he does not like to write.)


There we are reviewing Math facts

Here is Johann doing doing his handwriting

Joho is 4

Posted in Daily life event

Yesterday, Joho turned 4. We did not do much except for his favorite meal Saussage and pasta and Mommy's baked cake and of course some gifts.

Weekly Wrap-up

Posted in Daily life event


Another week's gone and it's time for the another weekly wrap-up update hosted by Kris @Weird Unsocialized Homeschoolers. Boy, the months are flying by. . .

I was sick this week, so somewhat slow. We did manage to accomplish the basics but with no fancies attach to it.

Our Co-op elective started today and went well. Zachary started grade 1 classes: Science, Vocal and Drama. For what I can say he liked them all. I finally manage to get "rid of " (pardon the expression) Joho who usually likes to just stay with me. I believe he had a good time as well. I was teaching Science and helping in crafts for the JK/SK.

The highlight of this week was our annual apple picking, done on a rather chilly day, but still lots of fun.


And look what we found:

Thanks for reading and hoping you all had a great week.

Have a great day,

And for some art

Posted in Daily life event

Zach has always  liked to draw, but he does not like to be pushed, so I never did. I let him go free reign with that, drawing when he wants to and what he wants to. Last week, though, at the library I saw a watercolor art DVD and though he might enjoy that. Sure enough he did and here are his watercolor pictures done all on his own:





Here is Joho's:


Mom enjoyed it too. Here is mine:


I am no artist but I think they all look pretty nice.

Have a great day,

Weekly Wrap-up

This post is very late but hopefully it makes it in.

This week was busy trying to keep school going before the year rolls in too much and the changes in schedule and all.

We got English, Math, Spelling, History, Geography and Science done. Hourray!

Zach did spelling jumping on the sofa and Math standing on the ball (which dad said was not be repeated, for the ball's sake).

Johann finally drew a picture that I can recognize: a map to a garden (he
called it).


We added games to our Math time and that was nice.



The highlight of the week was our day at the cottage today with some friends:




Have a great day,


I am a christian wife and mother to 2 beautiful young boys who just started on the homeschooling journey. My desire is to train my children in the ways of the Lord while giving them a good education, all for the glory of our great and wonderful God. The road is not easy, specially when you try to do things God's way but the reward is well worth the effort. To God be the Glory!
