SNOW SNOW and more SNOW

Mon, 4 Dec 2006 15:09:00 -0600

We have SNOW! Yes is what hte children are saying! Now as for me, I like the snow jsut not the driving in it! ANd it is way to COLD!

Taylor, Douglas and Jackson all went sleding and have to admit, so did Daddy and Me! We had so much fun!

We had two snow days do to the fact that we had no electricity for 2 whole days! Almost 26 hours all together! Crazy huh?

Anyway hope everyone is staying warm! We are starting our Chritmas unit tomorrow!

BIRDS BIRDS EVERYWHERE

Fri, 10 Nov 2006 13:37:00 -0600

I am loving this unit! We have spent more than three weeks on this unit! We did a week on Penguins, a week on Chickens and ducks and now we are going to do a few days on owls and end with the Turkey. Then we are going to take a bit of a break and just do a Thanksgiving lesson. Then we are going to spend the month of December studying about The reason why we celebrate Christmas! We are also going to be making a few Christmas gifts and cards. We might have to draw a few birds as well.

If you haven't watched March of the Penguins this is a great unit to watch that movie. We read lots of books and I think each one of the kids has a favirote penguin! Douglas likes the Rockhopper. Taylor likes the Emperor and Jackson likes the little blue...What fun!

Hope all is well...

My sick little guys

Sun, 29 Oct 2006 15:03:00 -0600

Ever wonder what it was like for Mary? Did Jesus ever get sick? We know that HE was perfect and never sinned once! What about his brothers and sisters. How did they handle that? What questions little once ask. What more of a responsability do we as parents have! I LOVE teaching my children about Christ and HIS love. I pray that my boys will come to know Jesus like the rest of us in the family! What a celebration that will be..

This past week has been crazy! Jackson spent all night Tuesday and all day Wednesday sick, sick, sick! Then he was fine on Thursday! Thougth I was done with that. Nope! Douglas was sick (very sick) on Friday and early Saturday! We are just praying now that Taylor doesn't get it! What fun...No not really!

With all this sickness I only did about two days on our birds unit! We are going to try it for "real" this week. Starting with Penguins! Then I think we are going to do ducks, owls and bluejays/Robins then end the unit with the turkey! Suppose to be a 3 week study but I think we are going tostretch it out a little. Have any good suggestions or thoughts let me know~Have a good week!

It's been a while...

Fri, 20 Oct 2006 15:41:00 -0500

School has been crazy! taylor has decided she isn't to crazy about it right now. i have talked to a few friends with daughters her age and they all reasured me that this is just a faze! I am not a big fan of this faze. Taylor does well with beign told to do things in general and lately this has not been the case! I want her to be independent and make decisions on her own but I also want her to know that until she is an adult she is not in controll!

Douglas has been doing well. I have been trying to work on his mouth! Not that he is saying anything bad he just is so loud! So we are working on that trait in his little life!

Jackson has been in my COOP room the last two weeks. He has done really well. so much so that he is tryingto write his own name now. I am proud of him! He is a cutie!

We will see waht the next few weeks hold!

WHAT A WEEK!!

Fri, 13 Oct 2006 23:18:00 -0500

Drama! That seems to be the theme of my life!

So let me feel you in on our life this week...

Tuesday was a great day at COOP and then about 8:15 p.m. Jackson was rocking on the rocking chair and took a great tumble! He feel right on his chin and cut open his little face. We had to take him to urgent care because there was no way I could fix him up.We went and they fixed him up by glueing his little chin back together. He was so brave! He did awesome! He lifted his head when the Doctor asked him too and he helped hold the glue, bandagesand tape. The nurse gave him a coloring book, crayons and every sticker they could find! He now has a little red mark on his face and thinks he is big stuff!

Wednesday was going well and then about 11:30 I geta call from Doug telling me he was coming home from work.He had be sick all morningwith some kind of tummy thing! He looked really bad! He slept most of the day and we ended up staying home from church. One cause daddy was sick but two because I wanted Jackson to take it easy!

Thursday was a great day! Douglas lost his first tooth and had to call Grandma and Aunt Joyce as well as Daddy at work!

Today was a good day! Douglas made an ABC book. he cut out pictures from magazines and glued them onto paper! He is so cute! He lost another tooth today too. He looks adorable! Taylor made her spelling words out of letters from magazines too.

What a week!

Children, they are so much fun!

Wed, 4 Oct 2006 10:48:00 -0500

There is no greater joy then loving Jesus and teaching my children to love him too. The hardest job I think a mother and father have is introducing the love and passion to serve their Lord. Wow!!

So with that, come also the disapline of the children. How does one teach the oldest that she isn't the boss of the younger brothers, that she isn't in charge of telling them what to do and that if she doesn't finish the task at hand that there are consaquences! Boy is parenthood fun~ Taylor what a joy!

Now Douglas, he seems to always know when we mean buisness! He doesn't like to be in trouble and he is usually the first to have the chores done, school finished and will help when asked.

Jackson is on his own road in life. He doesn't think that the rules apply to him. Why is that? He is the youngest and we have treated him as such. he is now learning very slowly I might add that he is not in control! He is here to keep me hoppen I suppose!

Now lets see where are those kids?

It is October!

Sun, 1 Oct 2006 14:04:00 -0500

October is such a fun month, the leaves are changing, most of us our well into our school year and use to the schedule. We get to watch our little ones figure out what 1+1 is or Who the president is or even figure out that a square and triangle together make a house!

What fun we have as the honored parent and teacher at home! I just love it! All three of the children are doing so well. They are liking school and have made new friends. All of them are involved in some extra activity through out hte week. Cheerleding, soccer and art classes to name a few. I have so much enjoyed this year. I am praying this will be a great year for all of us. I also really think this might be ther year Douglas comes to know my Jesus! He is so close. Ask so many questions. I know it is all in Gods timing. I just pray God gives me the words when the time comes~

October isalready busy for us. Next Sunday we have a fellowship at the lake with our church. Taylor has been invited to a birthday party, Uncle Ronny has a birthday, Aunt Serena has a birthday, Taylor and I have to work for two Mondays to raise money for her new Cheerleading uniform and we also have Saturday soccer games. Then we will have the Fall Harvest party on October 31st. Busy, Busy, Busy!! How is your October?
