Oct. 30, 2007 - ~Here we are again~
So it’s been awhile since I’ve had time to just sit and write. Well not long after the last entry Paul Ryan woke up and said he had a dream about school, I don’t remember exactally what he had said but dear oh Daddy thought maybe I was doing “to much school” so I’ve not been doing very much. I don’t push Paul Ryan I’m very relaxed in reguards to teaching him, I think. He is pretty bright and very inquisitive he wants to learn things. If I go a day with out doing some type of learning he brings stuff up on his own. Most of the lessons on math that go along with our writing lessons he already knows. 1,2,& 3 he learnt a long time ago. He reads the counting chart up to 100. So we move on and count higher and we do simple math 1+1, 2+2 to 10-1 and things like 10 monkey’s fell off the bed and mama said no more jumping on the bed kinda music. And we have done fun math with counting and subtracting candy corns, today we did a train math lesson where we counted all the Thomas trains, separated them in groups of which ones had 4 wheel, 6 wheels. And 8 wheels and up. Then for Rylie we used color groups. We played for awhile and now we’re all taking a break.
With the whole clan waking up @ 6am I think we’re going to either put nap time back into our routine or go to bed earlier. I have finally gotten 8pm as their bedtime. It used to be 9 and they would sleep till 9 or after in the morning but usually when it’s the weekend or Daddy gets them all wound up they tend to stay up till 9 or after on a few occasions. So with Daddy getting a part time job in the evening, it will help them stay on schedule better and getting up earlier will allow them to see Daddy in the morning. This could be a good thing. WHERE’S THE CAFFINEEN?
Yesterday the kids got up around 7 and Miss Ry put herself down for a nap, it was rather cute I was in the other room, feeding buddy Bud Andrew and it was quiet all the sudden and I was like where is Rylie. I go check and there she is sound asleep on the floor in a pile of toys she dumped out. She put herself down for a nap again today I’m really beginning to like getting up earlier.
Since we are ALL getting up early I’ll have to rearrange my quiet time for devotions. I love early mornings, watching the sun come up. The cool fall mornings finally! I didn’t think it was ever going to cool off here in NC. This is our 1st fall here and I would have to say for the most part it’s like Michigan falls.
The colors are changing nicely
the wind blows ever so gently
leaves are falling, rustling, swirling
the warm sun is shinning,
God graciously shows himself in all that is around.

Nov. 18, 2007 - I remember those days...

...when my kids were little and would fall asleep in the floor while playing, or in the high chair while waiting for their food. I have the cutest picture of my youngest dd when she was about 2 years old. She fell asleep at the kitchen table and laid her head almost in her plate! Cherish these days for they grow very quickly. We still have many more good years to go with the kids at home, but I'm realizing more and more how quickly they are passing.
Blessings,
Missy
