Homeschool Moment today

It was a a good day. It was a bit dreary outside but it was a good day none the less. This morning while doing school work with the boy's when I heard this noise. At first I had no idea what it was but as I listened I realized it was birds chirping. I open the door and there were 100's if not 1000's (LOL) of birds all over our yard! So I had the boy's put on their shoes and we went outside to watch them. They are getting ready to migrate south. It was very cool seeing all the birds hanging out in our yard resting and getting some food to go LOL. That's one nice thing about living in the country. If we have lived in the city there was no way we would have seen this. It was nice too because if the boy's had been in regular school, they never would have seen it.
Also today we went to the Library and got a few more books. Then we went to the park right next to the library and was surprised to find most of the playground equipment wasn't wet even though it was sprinkling earlier. So the boy's got to play for a while. At the park they also have a walking path so after a while we just walked around it. It was nice to just look at all the different things and walk with the boy's. We looked at some interesting trees and just nature in general. The boy's and I loved it. So we didn't do a lot of "school work" but we did learn something about nature and each other. One of the many reason's I am so glad we homeschool.

My day today

Today was a busy day. First when I wake up I find that C. has a bad headache and a slight fever (99.7) so he is not quiet over whatever it was that J. had before. But after I gave him some Motrin he felt much better. Hasn't had any more issues since then. So we had a light day of schooling. After that I went to the Laundromat and did laundry. Afterwards I came home and hubby was putting the other computer desk in the living room. That way we can make the room it was in more of a toy room for the boy's to free up their room a bit. They aren't very big bedrooms and there is no closet in their room (long story LOL). So I spend the rest of the day going through old papers and getting things a little more manageable in there. I still have work to do in there but it looks a lot better. Well I am wiped out from all that so I think I will just surf the next for homeschool stuff and watch House at 9pm LOL.

Sorry I have been MIA

I haven't really forgotten to blog. I have just been busy with family. The boy's are all healthy and back to normal now, thank goodness. Saturday, my mom and I hung out together. We did some shopping and just spent time together. I love hanging out with my mom. With her working afternoons and all it's hard to get some one on one with her. So when we do get that chance I enjoy it very much. My mom bought the boy's some workbooks from Walden's and some other books too. She also bought them some fall coats. I didn't ask her to do any of that but she did anyway. It was just nice to just spend time with her and talk and be silly LOL. We are good at doing that LOL. Hubby (H.) even cleaned the kitchen and did dishes while I was out! I was very appreciative of that. What a good hubby I have!
Sunday we went to church and we just spent time at home as a family. I also did a little bit of grocery shopping. I usually do it on Saturday's but our electric company was going to shut off the electricity for a few hours from 12:01am to 5:30am Sunday morning. So I just waited till Sunday to go to our local little store to pick up a few things. I will probably do more at a later date. Depending how we go through what I got.
Today, not too much is going on. We got up at 7am and ate breakfast and everything else we do and then at 8am we did school work. A little after 11am we were done and then I spend some time with hubby. Just before hubby went to work (he works afternoons) we read some of the Bible (We do that everyday as a family). That's been our day so far. Don't have much of anything planned other than cleaning the house and making dinner later.
Tomorrow is laundry day so I need to get clothes around and school books around. That way when tomorrow comes I just have to put it all in the car and go to the Laundromat. Ugh I so wish we had hook-ups in this house we rent but nope we don't. I guess I should just be grateful for what we do have and I am but I can always wish right? LOL

Relaxing Day

It's been a relaxing day. Much needed since we have been on the go so much in the last few weeks. I woke up about eight a.m. The boy's woke up a bit earlier than that. Then we ate breakfast and the boy's did their routine and then we started school. We took it a little easy since they went to bed late last night. Then we pretty much lounged all day LOL. Well I did clean house a bit. The worst of it was the dishes LOL. So it wasn't too bad. It was nice not having to go any where.
Tonight I don't know what I did but I was getting stuff around for tomorrow for the boy's (printing out some papers for their schooling) and I turned my wrist a certain way and now my wrist hurts. Oh well at least it doesn't hurt to type LOL. Just to move it any other way. Hopefully tomorrow it will be better.
Tomorrow I have to go to the Laundromat to do laundry. See we rent and the house we rent has not hook-ups for washer and dryers. So that means I have to go into town and do laundry. Ugh a pain in the butt LOL. I will take the boy's along with some of their school work with us to do there. They are usually pretty good about it. That was pretty much my day. Pretty boring huh? LOL. This week I really don't have anything planned. So if my blogging is boring that is why LOL. It will be nice though not to have to run around every where though.

Church Anniversary

Today was a good and busy day. Today being Sunday we went to church. It was also our Church's 33 year anniversary. We had a guest speaker who shared her life with us and also sang some songs. She had a very beautiful voice. It was a nice service.
After church we came home and pretty much didn't do whole lot but we've all had a busy couple of weeks so it was nice. Then we went to church again at six p.m. for an anniversary get together. We got to hear stories from before the land and church was built. How a group of people would go from house to other areas before someone donated the land where our church now stands. It was so nice to hear all the stories from people that have been there from the beginning and also from people who are relatively new in the Church. Afterwards they had some food out for us to eat and socialize with one another. The boy's after eating ran around and played with each other and other kids.
Our church is on the bigger side but it still feels like home to me. I have never felt at home in other churches I had been to before we found this one. I don't know if it's because I never really knew God before we found this church. (that's a story in and of it's self LOL. Maybe another time I will talk about it.) or if this was supposed to be our home and we just didn't know it till we found it. Either way I really love our church and the people in it. Everyone is so loving and so caring. I remember growing up I never felt like I belonged any where but our church I have never felt out of place. That is t legacy of our church and I hope to pass that torch for the boy's too. If not for them to go to that church when they are adults. Then at least to have that seed to share with other's on their experiences with the Lord and help other's feel like we do at our church.
Ok, I know I am rambling again LOL. It is already 11p.m. here so that might explain it. So if I just typed a bunch of gibberish then ignore me LOL. I guess I am just in a nostalgic mood tonight. That and a bit tired too LOL.
