Outside my window.....

summer is here in full power. The mornings and evenings

are still wonderful to be outside.

I am thinking....

of what this past week brought and

about the week to come. This is the

last week to finish plans for VBS.

I am thankful....

for God's peace he gave my children

with this weekend as they learned

of the loss of their dog, Buddy.

I am wearing..

shorts and a sun top

I am remembering...

the day we meant Buddy. He was the most

amazing puppy. We were all taken by him.

Buddy took on the job as the protector of the children

right from the start. He loved being where ever

our family was.

I am creating...

a special quilt so far 3 block complete

I have also begun knitting a bag.

I am praying...

for my husband, work is abundant.

And is working more then he has in 1 1/2 yrs.

This is a huge praise!

From the kitchen...

Italian subs

apple wood pork roast

tacos

spaghetti

I am hoping....

work keeps going at this pace for us.

From the learning rooms...

still working on year end finishing.

Testing oldest for placement in math.

I am hearing...

tv I had on as I ironed this morning.

complete silence from the children still.

Around the house...

concentration is on school around here.

Chores in the early morning and school

afternoon is swim, read and naps.

Calmness and kindness are the goals.

One of my favorite things...

cuddling with my babies.

A few plans for the rest of the week...

sewing the quilt, school work and fireworks every Saturday.

Here is a picture I would like to share..

our Buddy, he will always be a part of our hearts.

For today June 8, 2010

Outside my window...

sun is setting after another in the high 90's. With the

humidity it feels more like over 100.

I am thinking....

the work ahead of me tomorrow getting the classroom

back up and running.

It is all torn apart due to ripping out the

carpet and removing the cat and the kitten.

Due to my son having a asthma attack that

required a ER visit.

I am thankful....

my son is recovering nicely

with out a hospital stay this time.

I am wearing...

a nightgown, I am ready for the

day to come to a end.

I am remembering....

the winter we had and how out of the norm

the temps were. That we saw snow 1st in 20 yrs,

the temps 1st in 100 yrs. That we never thought

the cold would leave, now it is so hot already.

Did we even see spring?

I am creating...

an allergen free zone for my son.

We have been spending a lot of time in the classroom,

I think the carpet and the cat being in there

for the past 5 weeks with her kittens(we are down to only one).

 Took a toll on his little lungs. Plus the Dr said the humidity

 is not helping many with asthma. I had

the windows open a lot last week.

I am praying...

for our aunt, she is over at Shane's Hospital

for the next 3 days having a test performed.

I so pray they get answers, she has been having

health issues for over a year now.

From the kitchen....

eggs and grits and bacon

homemade pizza

pork chops and veggies

fried chicken legs

I am hoping....

my friend feels better soon that she

goes to the chiro tomorrow.

From the learning rooms....

Math, Language Arts, reading

we even have managed to work on

 science and history this past week.

Oldest has been working on an essay,

he is required to have it for his scholarship to the

Metropolitan Area Youth Symphony.

I am hearing...

the basketball playoff game.

GO CELTICS!!

Around the house....

everyone is laying quietly watching the game.

When i finish here they are off to bed. We have finally all

at the same time gotten on a schedule of getting up early.

So much more is being accomplished plus we have

even on a few days had naps. Well the children did...

One of my favorite things...

relaxing at night as a family before we go to bed.

A few plans for the rest of the week...

finish cleaning, get some school done

and relax.

Here is a picture I would like to share....

scorpion my son caught this week

prime number chart?????

About a month ago on a blog there was links to different math and home school help.
One of the links was to the neatest 100 chart of finding prime numbers.
Does anyone remember seeing this link or was it on your blog? If so I really
would love to have that link again. I thought I had book marked it but can't find it.
Thank you for any help getting back to this post I once found.

For Today June 2, 2010

Outside my window.....

it looks like another sunny day, I really

am hoping to see the rain.

I am thinking...

about schedules and all the up 

coming plans. This will be the 

fullest summer we have ever had.

But it is worth every minute of it for the 

the children's future. 

I am thankful...

 the boys did great at their audition last week.

The big day on Saturday I was talking about

was for a cello audition for my second son.

My oldest also auditioned while we there

 for his viola and he is receiving a full scholarship.

We were so moved my Emily's warm welcome

and her generosity to us. She is happy to have

the boys involved in her dads dream.

lost her husband this past week and is

due to have their 3rd child in 2 weeks.

I am creating....

 a new quilt top. This one has to

be very special...Will take picture when

I get it together and you will

understand the specialness about it.

I am praying...

 endured so much physical pain.

my husband.

From the learning rooms....

more reading and LLATL time.

I am hearing...

relax and slow down for a couple of weeks.

One of my favorite things...
