Education Is An Atmosphere

Hi Dad, this one is for you!

I talked to my Dad last night and he asked when I was going to post on my blog again???  Huh?  He reads my blog, it was so funny, I never thought he would be interested in something like this.  So....thanks for reading my blog Daddy, I hope you enjoy.

 

Eric left with the older 3 kids & went to Macon, GA to check on our house.  While he was gone I took Seth & Katy to The Fresh Market in Mobile, AL to get almonds by the bulk (LOVE chocolate & strawberry almond milk) and while we were there we picked up lunch (fresh veggies & lettuce from the salad bar, a few containers of fruit, a bag of mixed raw nuts, and some dehydrated veggies)I also got Seth an organic fruit leather and some chocolate covered pretzels (not raw but he was sooooo excited!)  They had so much Halloween candy out that he was begging for something sweet.  While I'm talking food I'll just tell you what we had for breakfast, sweet & chewy flax crackers (made w/ oat groats, flax seed, maple syrup, cranberries, raisins, dates, almonds & pecans and thrown in the dehydrator) topped w/ banana, tahini, ginger or cinnamon, and honey, so yummy.  Not my husbands cup of tea though, he does not like sweet things for breakfast but he said it would make a good dessert.  Anyway, after we left the store we went to the USS Alabama.  It is a huge battleship parked in the Mobile Bay.  There are lots of cannons & tanks & airplanes parked on the grounds also, a dream come true for a little boy that LOVES army men!  He had so much fun even though we did not go on the ship.  They were charging $12 per person to walk on the ship, not the way I want to spend $12.  We had a picnic out there & wondered around until he got tired & then we headed home.  He & Katy have slept off and on since then, they both are running low-grade fevers & have the sniffles.  He has a cough also, poor little guy.

 

Eric called after we got home & asked if we could bring the key to the Macon house (it's 6 hrs away & he forgot the key!).  Fortunately, they were able to get a window open.  We all miss that house.  We are finally getting some interest in it from buyers & now we are having second thoughts about selling.  It reminds me of a mountain lodge because it's set in the woods on 3.5 acres (no visible neighbors, all nature).  It is so cozy in the winter and Eric had just remodelled the kitchen before we moved.  I think I am going to take the kids back for a week before the end of the month, we have some friends we want to visit there also.

 

While my little ones are sleeping I am going to try to plan out our school week next week.  I want to incorporate the preparation of some raw meals into their school day.  Erin, Abby, Jack, and Seth have been very enthusiastic about the raw food because they are able to do so much more to help.  Nothing to get burned on.  Plus Abby's favorite meal is salad so she can get creative and create whatever kind of salad she would like, she has big plans already.

 

So now I am off to make Rye crackers from my rye sprouts.  I think I will go to the cheese farm on Monday b/c I can pick up some raw cheese, they will be yummy w/ the crackers.

Hi Samanta! We have been Praying for you. Sorry to hear that you have been sick. Hope you get better. Also I wanted to say that we really enjoyed the Book Study. We have been talking a lot about it & are looking forward to the next one!
We went to the "Passing The Baton" seminar. It was great & life changing. It created a greater desire to teach our Dc's & to draw closer to God. I'm sure that Traci will have more to say about it.
Prayer & Blessings to you & family; Elton
