More Changes

So we are tweaking the system some more! We have decided to give up our prayer letters. Madds liked giving them up, but Vanna said she liked writing them. I want the girls to learn how to pray from their hearts and the letters were getting very repetitive. They were fill in the blank style.They did explain and help teach the different forms of prayer so they were helpful. But I think were ready to develop our prayers further. Vanna walked in a Crop Walk Sunday (7 miles) and raised $130.00 in donations. I was very proud of her. Most of the other youth collected money that morning at church, but Vanna had been out collecting for 2 weeks in our neighborhood. She has been such a help to me lately. She is maturing and becoming so responsible. Madison went fishing with Jerry tonight. She caught one fish! I think she enjoyed it. She is still adjusting to homeschooling. We talked tonight about cooperation. She is so easily distracted and I am so focused that it is really hard. Even Vanna is very focused this year and there is Madison stopping to smell the roses. Makes you wonder who's smarter  ? The girls are having their school pictures taken tomorrow at our Co-op. Madison is finishing up the braided rug she's been making and Vanna has a new public speaking assignment. She really enjoys that class, practicing her speeches, she's a natural. Before we went to bed Madison helped me prepare dinner for tomorrow. She really loves to cook and is such a willing helper. She will unload the dishwasher or wash some dirty dishes whenever I ask. She is really at home in the kitchen, while Vanna reads directions to boil water! We use the crockpot on Thursdays because were gone most of the day with bible study and the Co-op. So tonight we were preparing a BBQ Pork Roast for pulled pork sandwiches. I had to laugh, the whole while we were making the BBQ sauce, she was complaining how awful it smelled. With every ingredient we added she wrinkled up her nose. The funny thing is when we get home we are so hungry we will eat anything - tasty or not! Last week we had beef tips w/pasta. The pasta was so over cooked in the crockpot and the beef tips were so shrivel up, but we still wolfed it down. I think there is an art to crockpot cooking. Well I better get to bed it's getting late. Seeking Him, Missy |
