Baby Birds

Posted in Photography

I heard squeals coming from outside. The front door flew open. “Momma, Momma… you can… come see… outside.”  I tell Munchkin to slow down and repeat what she is saying.  At first, I thought something bad had happened, but I quickly realized that she was super excited. The momma bird was off the nest, and they could see the babies.  She wanted me to grab the camera, so I could take pictures of the baby birds. These little chicks were peaking out from the nest.  Obviously, the momma bird has been sitting on these guys for a while as they…

Praise the Lord!

Posted in Christian Life

Praise the Lord! Praise God in His sanctuary; Praise Him in His mighty firmament! Praise Him for His mighty acts; Praise Him according to His excellent greatness! Praise Him with the sound of the trumpet; Praise Him with the lute and harp! Praise Him with the timbrel and dance; Praise Him with stringed instruments and flutes! Praise Him with loud cymbals; Praise Him with clashing cymbals! Let everything that has breath praise the Lord. Praise the Lord! ~Psalm 150~ Find more Word Filled Wednesday at 160 Acre Woods

Using fun food picks and cookies cutters to make a fun meal works for me.  You can see my spring fun lunch idea here.

End of Year Testing 2010

Posted in Homeschooling

Today is Munchkin’s end of year testing.  While we are not required by Arizona state law to perform the testing, we have chosen to do it anyway.  I am able to administer the test at home, so we don’t have to go anywhere for the actual test.  Munchkin seriously dislikes taking standardized tests, but I feel it’s important for her to get use to the concept. Right now, we’re taking a lunch break, so Munchkin is outside eating lunch with her friend.  (It’s so nice to have fellow homeschoolers who live next door.)  It’s an absolutely beautiful day, so I…
