• Saturday, April 22, 2006 - Happy Birthday Collin

Posted in Who we are

Today Collin is 11!  Yep another birthday in our household.  (Guess what yet another is coming soon!  Check back......... real soon.)

 

Collin is the child who keeps me on my toes and on my knees.  He has a very black and white personality. Has a hard time grasping concepts that are in the gray zone.  I'm learning to never assume he understands something until he has explained it back to me.  Very sensitive... intense is a good descriptive word for my middle child.   When he is up he is very up when he is down he is very down. A talker and a lover.  He has said in the past that he wants to grow up and own a restaraunt and be the president of the US.  He has also said he is not sure if he wants to own the restaurant or be the cook.  LOL  I told him to own it and cook both.   "Can you do that?" was his reply.    

 

Here he is working on a volcano lapbook project in preparation to our visit to Mt. St Helen's in June. 

 

Collin is incredibly creative and talented.  I'll have to post the second part of his story that he is working on.  OOOooooo I just saw it lying on the desk here.  (really I'm not kidding it just happened to be here.)  If you missed the first part click here and read that then come back and read more of ....................The Battle for the Sword

 

Chapter 1 - Two Common Boys

They where comeing to the end of the meadow , and at the end of the where two boulders and they jumped behind them "I have to take a rest"said Jimmy. "OK"answered Jacob, then they both sat down "what’s that big brother?"   "It look’s like tracks" they both were looking at 3 or 4 tracks in the ground "do you know what typ of tracks those are?" "NO?"  "I thought you knew every typ of track" "not this one" "………Go get Joe to come here and thene stay home" "why?" "because I said so!"  Thene Jimmy ran home crying  "I hope he gets Joe"  Then Jacob studyed the tracks. The tracks looked like something with a small palm and very long fingers. Just then he heard a hissing groul. He got up and looked around but he coulden’t see anything, He started to stand up and leave because he was scared but he only could stand up before something came up behind him. He turned around and gave a sharp yell "AHAHAH" "don’t worry it’s only me…..Joe" Jacob sat down panting of fear "why did you scream?" Ο didn’t scream!"OK, but why did you yell?" "I tought you were some monster" "………..moster?" ……….why would you think such a thing?" Jacob paused then Joe sat down on a rock then got up a little. 

 

 

This story goes on for more pages than I want to type out right now.  I forced myself to enter it in just as he wrote it mistakes and all.  I think maybe I'll get Collin to start a blog and he can enter in his own stories.  Would you all be willing to give him some feedback?  

 

We'll work on the spelling and grammar too --- I promise.

 

     Happy Birthday Collin!

Well say hi to this birthday boy for me too! He sounds a lot like my boy - intense, black and white, etc! He will LOVE Mt St Helens! We are due for another trip up there ourselves soon.

Do get in touch if you're spending any time in the Portland metro area!

Ahhhh. The strong/ multi-faceted one. My 10.5 year old doesn't sound like this, but his most favorite person...his 9 y.o. sister....sure does. I often dream about what these kids will become. I worry the LEAST about my multi-faceted childs FAITH. ummmm. stubborness is a good thing when you KNOW the truth is THE truth...right?

I was just musing about how cool it would be to invite all the Oregon/Washington homeschoolbloggers to a get together when you visit our states. Maybe meet at a park, since we all have oodles of kids. (we can have it at my home...but be prepared to be squished in here then!) That would be fun. Keep track of the people who keep saying they're from here....We'll have to invite them.

Happy birthday Collin!

I remember our trip to Mt. St. Helen's. It was fantastic...so interesting. I am personally fascinated by the power of volcanos. Have a wonderful trip!

Blessings,

The thoughts and reflections of a mom who loves being at home, and is doing all she has ever desired in her life..... Really... I love my life that much!


"And all thy sons shall be taught of the Lord, and great shall be the peace of thy sons.
In righteousness shall thou be established."
