Well, here is my solution for school on a beautiful, crisp fall day here in Texas.....
Of course, the kids loved it!! Here's another photo I couldn't resist....
Houston is such a little helper. I am so proud of him. Lanie just soaks it up most the time. Well, unless she "already knows"!!! Final thoughts for today....
Life is so precious and short. In James 4:14, it is written "Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away." I want to exhort everyone that reads this to live their life as though they will meet our Maker tomorrow. Love, laugh, and live as the Lord wants you to. Today, I am going to kiss my children more, hug them tighter, and PTL for each one of them!!! I am going to tell my husband how much I love him and appreciate him!! I am going to tell God how devoted I am to Him and that I, body and soul, am His and will do my best to live today and everyday as He wills!!! Now, I have mounds of laundry to tackle.... May God bless you today!!!!

The breeze is so nice. It's about 84 degrees here today and in the shade with the wind blowing gently, I don't think we could ask for more! It's perfect for the kids to do their learning out under God's blue sky.

I have been so looking forward to this new year!!! Houston's in 2nd grade and Delanie started Kindergarten. We started a little early, August 18th, so that we don't have to stick rigidly to weekly schedule. Some weeks we might have school all 5 days, but other weeks might only have 3 days. So far, the kids are doing great! Lanie is just loving school. I'll have to take some pictures of them as they work. Lanie asks every morning, "When does home school start?" Houston whines, "Don't remind her!" As you can tell, Houston isn't jumping for joy at the prospect of schooling. But, he's doing great too! This year we are using the following curriculums: Rod & Staff (phonics, reading) Handwriting Without Tears 100 Easy Lessons (reading) Math U See (2nd grade) Saxon (Kindergarten) Five in a Row (for Science, Geography, History) I want to add Mystery of History and Math U See for Lanie. I guess we'll see if we can work that into our budget this fall. Christian and Mason are doing Pre-School Activities in a Bag (as I can get them put together). Blessings!! |
