How I have missed you! I am totally touched by your sweet comments while I was off. I just want to send you all some flowers from my garden.
This was on my front porch in September. Would you like to see what my back yard looked like during our huge ice storm in November?
These pictures are of my poor gnarly willow. Almost all of its branches broke off shortly after these pictures were taken, because of the weight of the ice.
Speaking of winter, to me winter can be hard when you are homeschooling. When the kids can't go outside the quarters get a little close! (Believe me, it had to be about fifty below before I deemed it "too cold" for my boys to go outside! ;) ) I'm really jealous of you all that never have freezing weather! I dug back into my archives for some wintertime activities. Maybe some of these will help on a shut-in day.
Teach the kids to make "real cocoa" from scratch.
Make a scrapbook.
Let the kids write their own picture book and illustrate it. Take it to the copy shop and have it bound.
Make a video and post it on U-tube or God-tube.
Plan a valentine party for shut-ins. (Other shut-ins, not you!) We did this one year, and all of the children performed and the old people just loved it!
help the kids design a board game
Hope these little ideas help someof you through the long winter! Blessings and love to you as you minister to your children!
