More on the Double Notebook
Well, I purchased another Double Notebook tonight- this time it's in green and blue. I plan to use this one for my lesson plans. I want to put the older children's lessons in the front section and the younger children's lessons in the other section or something like that. I will take pics when I get it completed.
Here's a few pics and one of the upc code.

Camp 08- "Jesus, The Last God Standing!"
God met with us once again this year at camp! God is so faithful! I attended the same camp for the first time when I was 16. God met me there, now 20 years later, my husband and I had the privilege of taking our two older children and the same God who moved in our lives 20 years ago, moved in our children's! He didn't change! Oh, yes He did! He got better!!!! People want to leave legacies to their children-money, popularity, businesses- but there is none greater than salvation & truth! I thank God for having second generation campers.
Here is a short video of the reaction of the Rapture Drill we had while there- there is no sound because it was recorded on my picture camera and I just figured out how to turn the sound on last night-ugh! We had three scriptures to memorize- Isaiah 43:10-11; Psalms 95:6; Deuteronomy 11:16, then attend a showdown class -the theme was centered around Elijah and the prophets of Baal and last, we had class presentations.  When everything was completed, we received our "Holy Ghost Badge" to get to "heaven" when the sound was heard. We had 60 seconds to make it to the sanctuary (heaven) if not, then you were closed outside. If you didn't have all your requirements done and a Holy Ghost badge, then you were left outside, too.
My son had a unique experience. Because of urgency to make it to heaven, my son fell down. The kids didn't trample him or leave him. A group of them picked him up and carried him into heaven and then put him down once they all made it in! How much more should we do for our brothers and sisters in Christ. When they fall, instead of talking about them and putting them down, we should uphold one another in prayer and fasting, so we can all make it in-okay here's the video:

Something New
I went into our local Walmart the other day and was shocked to see school supplies. Not the normal school supplies- the BACK TO SCHOOL supplies and it was only the end of June! Anyway, I just HAD to turn down the aisle to take a look. My daughter was giving me the look and my eyes began to glaze over...I love the smell of a new box of crayons! They smell extra good when they are only $0.20 Okay, okay. The something new I came across was a "Double Notebook". It's pretty neat. I looked for pictures on the web and couldn't find any. Bummer, considering I wanted to share with other mom's that use notebooking and lapbooking to teach their children. To my surprise, my husband got me one tonight! After I showed it to my children, the first thing I did was to take pictures of it! Now I can finally share!

Any ideas of how it can be used?



It costs about $5 and is supposedly only found at Walmart according to the cover.
Right now, we are in a chapter covering early American history and for Bible, we are studying the book of Joshua. I think we will put or history stuff on one side and our Bible lessons on the other. Or I could do Bible and History on one side and lapbooks on the other. Or Bible and history on side one and on side two we could put our timelines, copy work and lapbooks. Or....

Home
WOW- I am so excited about our new surroundings! Since we first saw the community in October, we were not able to see all of the greenery, but now that everything is coming to full bloom AND I have a new camera I have been wanting to get outdoor pics with- this is so much fun!!!!
I have no idea what this is, but it was pretty so I took a pic of it.
I have no clue what this is- my daughter thought they looked like little roses- we know that's not what it is, but we like them still the same.

This one is of one of the lakes in our community during sunset:


This one is of some flags that were put up and down the street of our main street. There was a man who lived here and lost his life while serving our country in Iraq. As a memorial, our subdivision purchased flags for us to put in our yards and the common areas. It was very touching and beautiful to see the flags all around:

Okay- I think I'm back now
Wow, what a whirlwind of a month it's been! I am enjoying every bit of it, too. Well, we closed on our new March 27th!!!! God is so good. Due to my husband being laid off 4 years ago, we were living with my parents. We have not had our own place to live for that long! I am thankful for my parents and their love and support while we were trying to get back on our feet. It was during these four years, I have found who my real and true friends are and those who really love us. Yes, we had some hard times, but I don't regret any of it. It is during the hard times that you find strength through Jesus and His amazing grace. The song says:
Never would have made it, never could have made it without you.
I would have lost all, but now I see how You were there for me.
I'm stronger, I'm wiser, I'm better, much better.
When I look back over all You've brought me through,
I can see,
You were the One I held on to...
I am so grateful and thankful, that I can't say it enough! We actually have enough space in the house to have a school room!!! I've never had one before-not that it's needed, but it's nice to have a place to put all of our school related stuff. While living with my parents, my bedroom was- a bedroom, a living room, a schoolroom and little library. I don't ever want to hear anyone use the excuse that they can't homeschool because they don't have enough room!!! I am a witness, it can be done. BTW, if anyone has any pictures of their school rooms or schooling space, it would be greatly appreciated if you shared them with me. I am in need of a few ideas.
Here's a picture of our blessing!

Try not to be jealous of our yard! They are coming to sod & seed it any day now...

Once we finish unpacking and getting settled a little more, I'll be back to blogging.

A Neat Idea
http://www.ducktapeclub.com/tales/article.asp?PID=50
Shannon posted some pictures of an idea she had to combine lapbooking and notebooking- I plan to use this really soon with our upcoming chapter on American History. Here's a link to her blog: http://littlehomeschoolonthehill.com/2008/03/19/new-use-for-duct-tape/

Volume 3, Chapter 7- Finally!
It seems like we got stuck in chapter 6 for quite awhile, but as of next Wednesday, we will be finished. I will post pictures of our lapbooks when we finish them. In the mean time, I am doing my prep work for chapter 7 and it appears to be a long history chapter. I just saw that the kids (and myself) will need to learn the fifty states in order. When I was about 11, I remember two of church friends singing a song to help them memorize the states. I never did learn the song entirely, but what they taught me, I still remember to this day. I asked them about it recently and they had no idea what I was talking about. Funny. Anyway, I was so glad to see it posted on youtube.com. Now, to find a song for the US Presidents!

Pastor's Wife Update
Thank You for your prayers! God is answering them...
Last night my pastor preached and told us what happened. The doctors said this, the doctors said that...but whose report do you believe? I will believe the report of the Lord! Right now, she is opening her eyes, shrugging her shoulders, shaking her head yes and no, moving her head, squeezing hands, and someone said something that was funny and she smiled. She is trying to talk, but she still has the tube in her mouth and those will be gone shortly, too! Keep praying and believing!

Prayer Request
Please remember my pastor's sweet wife in prayer. She was rushed to the hospital Sunday morning with an aneurysm. I believe and know God as a Healer. If you know the power of prayer, please pray with me. God knows her name and knows exactly where she is. Also, remember my wonderful Pastor and his family in this trying time. Thank you.

Creation Museum
WOW! Is really all I can say. I was completely impressed with the Creation Museum! The best way for me to describe the quality of the place is to say, the place looks like something Disney would have at one of their theme parks! Very high quality and, and...it was just GREAT!
Our church took a trip there this past weekend. Our youth group originally sponsored it with the plans of taking about 15 people. Well, my mom's Adult Sunday School class is covering Genesis so this was perfect for them and my husband and I wanted to take our children, so we figured it would be fun to go with the church versus going alone. After other homeschool families joining in and the rest of the church, there were about 130 of us altogether! It was so much fun to go with our church family.
If you ever get the opportunity to go anywhere near the Creation Museum, it is so worth the effort to go!
Since my older children were pretty much with their friends, the plan is to go back and see the things that they missed.
The Word of God is true and the Creation Museum backed it up and brought it to life for us...
My all time favorite part was Noah's Ark! It was great and very visual. Here's some pics:
