Our day started off with house work and schoolwork. Once again, Munchkin did most of her work on her own, so I could get some tasks done around the house. After she was done with her school work, she got dressed and ate some lunch. (Yes, we often stay in our pjs in the morning hours.) After lunch, we headed over to the park for park day with our homeschool group. Munchkin gave one of her friends an invite to her party. (I had already talked to her mom, but she hadn’t received an actual invite yet.) It was nice…

11th Birthday Preparations: Part 2

Posted in Family, and Homemaking

Today was filled with more cleaning and birthday preparations. While I worked, Munchkin did her school work and then worked on her car for the Awana Grand Prix. The Grand Prix was tonight. There were several technical difficulties (and difficulties in how the rules were enforced), but the kids ultimately had lots of fun even with the craziness. It was priceless watching all of their excited faces as the cars raced down the track. Back to the party prep… When I was at the dollar store, I found these travel mugs that you can personalize. I knew these would make…

11th Birthday Preparations: Part 1

Posted in Homemaking

It’s hard to believe that by the beginning of next week our little Munchkin will be 11. I’m not sure how that happened. She’s still our little girl, but she’s growing up… Munchkin hasn’t had a birthday party with friends for quite some time, so we decided that this year she would get to have a birthday party. When we were at the thrift store several months back, we found an American Girl Mystery party game. We knew that we would use that for Munchkin’s birthday party. Since there were only so many parts for the mystery party skit, it…

Grand Canyon Adventure: Pictures and Resource

Posted in Family, and Reviews

One of the things that we’ve never liked about going to beautiful places like the Grand Canyon is that all of the pamphlets and information is steeped in the theory of evolution. Since we believe in creation, we prefer to read about the creation aspect. While we were at the Creation Museum last year, we picked up a book on the Grand Canyon. At the time that we picked it up, we didn’t really know when we’d be going to the Grand Canyon. It was something that we wanted to do, but we had no idea that it would be…
