Weekly Repost

We did nothing!!!! OK we cleaned, Devlin and Fox did K12, Damian played and the only thing Skyler did was color mixing. We read Mouse Paint and White Rabbits Color Book and used her new science kit to learn how to mix colors. She had a blast and was truly amazed at the fact it actually worked!!!! After she filled up the little wells with mixes she took all the extra and put it into the tub and took a bath.

Homeschool Memoirs

THEME
This week, you guessed it, is going to be about having a thankful heart! Yes, of course, we should always be thankful for everything we’re blessed with, but it’s not too often we actually sit and ponder what. This week please join me in writing 27 things you’re thankful (There’s got to be at least 27things!). I picked 27 because this year Thanksgiving is on the 27th of November.
Also, share a Scripture verse for this week!

Above all God after that........

Weekly Report 11/17 11/21

Well granted it's Thursday but I know this week is done as far as I am concerned. Two fieldtrips and everyday household things has been enough. Damian did finish his book "If You Were At The First Thanksgiving" and his lapbook to go along as big as that was it was enough for this week. It was three folders long and alot of writing, cutting etc etc. The fieldtrips were great. Devlin will do a job shadowing at the Animal Care Hospital tomorrow so that should be interesting. Devlin and Fox will do their Hoosier Academy cirriculum tomorrow. My week is done and I am very tired.

Homeschool Memoirs

Well, the polls have been open to vote for your favourite homeschool sites of 2008 and many have already ready cast their votes. Not too much longer before they close in fact. I’ve already voted for mine, including my sister in Best Teen Gal category and my little sister in Best Blog Design. Haha, I’m a little biased on those two and well imho they’re the best! I even made an “I Voted” sticker to stick on my site so others would go vote as well.
THEME
This week I want to invite you to nominate your family to their correct categories as well has have others nominate them. While my two sisters are listed under Best Teen and Best Design, those definitely are NOT the best traits they have nor the funniest.
This is how you do it…. you post the category that best describes each of your family members and write something about why you nominated them in that category, and you’re welcome to post photos.

Devlin Lucille is nominated for being the Best Daughter I Could Ever Hope For Award. She is the most helpful, the best behaved (mostly) and surely the most sweet compassionate child in the world.

Skyler is nominated for the Best Funny Face Award. She rarely smiles she gives these lopsided looks that everyone laughs at. She is also nominated for the Most Personality Award!!!

Fox is nominated for The Busiest Child Award. He goes more than the energizer bunny let me tell ya. From the time his feet hit the floor till he passes out he is busy busy busy!!!

Damian is nominated for The Best Imagination Award. You can be talking about anything at all and that child can make up a story. He can make up a story even if your not talking about it!!

Cookie time

Last night we made no bake cookies. Pretty cool. lots more pics here.

Care Animal Hospital Fieldtrip

Today we watched a kitty have surgery. He got his claws removed and got netured. It was very intersting!! Devlin is going back on Friday to job shadow the vet. It was very different kind of trip and I think everyone learned alot!!

Wordless Wednesday

Indiana State Museum

Yesterday we went on a field trip to the Indiana State Museum. Devlin was thrilled with the Girl Scout set up and Damian went nuts for the Indians, Fox ran everywhere and so did Skyler. They all loved the chocolate display. I could have spent all day if the kids would have been still ypo actually look at anything!!! They got cute pass ports that got stamps at different locations. All in all it was pretty cool I just was not fond of the whole no photography. I am not fond of anywhere I can't take pics. There was so much more to see after I was told of teh no camera thing. Oh well it was fun!!!

Our Sunday.......

Well we did school today with Damian on the account of the field trip tomorrow. So we had school and Skyler made dinner. In honor of her pizza thing we let her yes 4 years old make pizza. Then we actually ate it!! While the pizza cooked we read some fun pizza books. All in all an OK Sunday.

Our week 11/09 to 11/14

Well I started this week on Sunday because Sunday afternoon they were making me crazy with the I have nothing to do! We did it all this week I think. Finished Week 4 of Winterpromise American Story. Week 3 of Noeo Chemistry. Did school with Foxy and caught a few times with Skyler and her pizza stuff. We did math and language arts and spelling of course reading. Like I said we did it all. This past week was suppose to be Pizza Week but sadly I did not have the book Damian needed to complete his lapbook on The History of Pizza. So this week he worked on his lapbook based on the book, "If You Were At The First Thanksgiving" I am really having fun with that. All in all I think it was OK. I used Devlin alot to free my hands up but hey that is what big sisters are for!!!! Enjoy the slide show.

Homeschool Memoirs "Mom Help"

THEME:
This week I’d like to invite you to share what YOUR “Mom” help is. Some drink coffee, soda, or chia-tea. Others check email or read their favourite blogs. Some talk a walk…. what do you do when you need to clear your head and take a breather? I love Mountain Dew. I look at other peoples blogs and read homeschool boards. I also like to play with my blog and pictures.

Scripture Share:
Please share a Scripture that gives you a “mom” help when you’re spirit is feeling overwhelemed

"This too shall pass." 1 Corinthians 10:12

Do unto others what you would have them do unto you." Matthew 7:12

(love) "bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails." 1 Corinthians 13:7, 8

Our Pizza Parlor Play Center

So it was all about pizza today for whatever reason. She had fun and so did I so that is all that matters!!!

What Skyler and I did today

I had fun making this box. It is from a lapbook about pizza, that Currclick no longer has. But it was fun. I laminated everything so she can play again and again.

Our Week 11/3-11/7

Seems like we were busy all week and nothing was accomplished. I think everyone had some kind of appointment this week, we had a fieldtrip too. Yes it was a good week just hope it calms down a bit next week. We also had an election and chocolate ice cream won hands down.

The Mits Bus Fieldtrip

Damian was amazed with it all so quiet. Skyler had a blast her favorite part was the wash.

Damians Election Lapbook

All of this came from Homeschool Share. Thanks Ami. He had fun but it wore off quickly so not all the activity books were done but I think he got the point.

The Pueblo That Damian Built

He had a ton of fun and Skyler loved helping too.
