I finished!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

For my birthday a couple years ago my wonderful Sister in Law gave me everything needed to complete this beautiful quilt. I loved this quilt so much I jumped right in on putting it together. Which was really done in no time at all. It was the hand quilting that took me so long to complete. I finally just said this is going to get done...... and I finished everything up last week.

I won.......

 I won this wonderful book!!!!!

The Homeschool Mother’s Journal

In my life this week………

This week has been a week of regrouping, picking up and catching up around the house, after a week of out of our home activities.

In our homeschool this week….

Working on finishing up our Bible and our LLATL. I have been reevaluating some of the things we are doing. My Goal is to have these wrapped up by July.

Places we are going and people we are seeing…..

This really changes by the minute. Last night out of nowhere hubby called and wanted us to meet him at the beach, what a great surprise. Then plans for today changed at 10pm last night, another nice treat for our family.

My favorite thing this week…..

Oh wow, I have had several things this week, from attending a Joshua Bell concert to the beach last night. Everything this week has been a blessing.

Homeschool question/thoughts I have……

I am so blessed to be homeschooling my children.

Tomorrow is the big debut of the piece. I am thankful that I will be able to be there to support my very dear friend's.
I hope to post a few pictures of the night,

Lego Magazine

Yesterday, my guys received their free Lego Club magazines.

Do your guys receive the magazine?

My one son saves every last magazine he has received and when the new one comes, he gets all of them out.

And for the day I have lost him to reading.

Today I did get bible and Language arts done, I finally threw the towel in and decided, IT”S READING……..

And to get him to read is a task with in it’s self.

I am not going to fight a good thing…..

If you have little one’s that like Lego’s they would love this magazine.

My son now is cutting coupons, he just found they are building a Lego world in Florida.

He has been asking for 4 yrs now to go but California was just not happening, but now I just may have to make this happen for my boy…
