Isaiah 54:13 – All your children shall be taught by the Lord and great shall be the peace of your children.

Hit or Miss

School, that is.  Between remodel errands, working part-time and watching three small children a couple of times a week, our school times have been hit and miss.  But today was a good day, so I'll go to sleep with that thought to comfort me!

In Bible, we're currently in Joshua 2 reading about the spies and Rahab.  With Weaver, our other studies correlate and have included communication and espionage.  So part of our school time yesterday included a trip to the mall where we trailed an unsuspecting shopper, trying to get information, such as what they were shopping for, apparent moods, etc.  The kids had a lot of fun with that.  Then today, K's writing assignment in Writing Strands had him hide and watch while someone did a good deed, then prepare to report on it in writing.  I had dh help out with this by putting away the clean dishes.  It seemed to go right along with our spying activities.  We've also discussed communication, and will have some fun with codes in the next day or two.

Dh's near and dear cousin is in the hospital following surgery for a brain aneurysm.  Your prayers are appreciated. 

The back house should be completed in about two weeks, hopefully in time to get my mother moved in before Thanksgiving.  I'm sure she'd like to be settled in her own place by then. 

Tomorrow's plans include more remodel errands - buying the last of the light fixtures, Art at the Library program with a couple of other homeschool friends, karate in the evening, and whatever school we happen to get to.  I want to make sure we get in the three R's and Bible if nothing else.

I'm looking forward to an extra hour of sleep this weekend?  How about you?

I AM looking forward to that extra hour of sleep! Gives me something to get excited about tomorrow night. I'm not a big fan of Halloween or all the fall festivals going on tomorrow night. One of which we're attending...bah humbug!!! I would rather just stay home and sip hot chocolate. I think I'm becomming old before my time (LOL)! I hope you guys have a wonderful weekend, I'm off to make some hot cocoa :-).
Blessings, Julie

Hi Robin,

I've been out of the blog world for quiet a few months (and am back but at blogspot rather than homeschool blogger this time). It was fun to catch up with you again. I especially liked the blog titled "When will we start school? Who Knows..." and the latest "Hit or Miss". That is most definitely the story of our life this year. I started working a part time job and that totally changes everything! We finally started school as well...about a month later than I planned. And we are almost always doing school in between or on errands. Such is life...and I'm learning to love it!

Thanks for allowing me to relate. :)

Praying for your cousin. You certainly sound very busy! I'm glad you're able to get your school work accomplished.
Sounds like your school plans are going great.
I was excited about that extra hour of sleep!

I love the extra hour of sleep too! My kiddos were just chatting about how interesting it is that in the summer it stays light 'pass bedtime' and now it's dark by dinner-time. I do love this time of year ~ it's so beautiful & chilly outside and so warm & cozy inside! Hmmmm....makes me want a hot cup of tea. Blessings, EMichelle
