Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom, and as you sing psalms, hymns and spiritual songs with gratitude in your hearts to God. And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him. Colossians 3:15-17
Ian sleeping in until 9am one morning so Ethan and I were able to get a lot of school work done before he woke up
We are over a week ahead in math and language arts:)
We are enjoying our history curriculum. Ethan wanted to draw a map of Columbus’ journey to go with the little ships we made out of egg cartons
First day of Ethan’s gifted enrichment class at his old school went well. (The school district wasn’t crazy about having him stay in the one day a week class since we are now homeschooling but my husband persisted and they finally agreed).
Grace
God giving my husband strength to continue to work despite fatigue from so many extra work hours
New gratitude journal
Journaling on the hammock
Legos in the pool
Breeze before the storm
Sea salt and olive oil crackers
Boys swimming during a hurricane (not really, just the outer rain bands that reached Florida) Ethan said, “This is the best swimming day ever!”
Offer of new writing opportunities
Carrot cake pancakes
Carrott cake pancakes??? YUM! If I was home, where my list is, my newest entry would be “living.” Every single traffic light from the first street I travel to the last, was out because of the storm. Driving in Baltimore City is not fun!! Hugs to you all! Love, Christina
I love the boats made out of egg cartons - adorable! We won’t be at that point in history for awhile - we are only in the 800s…but when we get there, I may steal your idea! Love the Legos in the pool too. Congratulations on more writing opportunities!
Ah, we just left Florida… we spent the summer there and it was wonderful spending so much time in the pool! I’m so happy to meet another homeschool mommy… and I loved the egg carton boats too, great idea!
Thank you so much for your comment on my blog, Talk Time. It was fun to know that you were also raised on the Westminster Standards
I loved “new gratitude journal” from your list. I’m looking forward to filling up the one I’m in and adding to the collection. So good to share this grace-filled life with you, sister.
What’s better than legos in the pool, I’m sure my son would agree! Wonderful list! Thanks for stopping by today.
hi,
i loved reading here, especially about being ahead in school and husband having the strength to continue in grueling hours at work. Mr. Simmons is doing the same right now, and you reminded me to thank God and ask God for strength for him.
thanks for stopping by sixinthesticks. i left you a little response, but wanted to come over and read anyway
blessings.
