Chilly Trophy Day

Posted in Family, Homeschooling, and Thoughts

The final soccer game of the 2008 season was very chilly, in the 30s. We were all bundled up and many of us couldn’t sit still as it was just too cold. The kids played well, and Munchkin’s team ended their season with a win. After the game, they had the trophy ceremony for the kids. Munchkin’s coach was a teenage girl. This was her first year coaching (she also played at her own age level), and she did an amazing job with the kids. The kids all enjoyed her being their coach. Now, Munchkin is moving on to basketball…

Our Thanksgiving Celebration

Posted in Family, and Holidays

Today, we enjoyed a very yummy Thanksgiving dinner. We had plenty left over, so Munchkin and Daddy will be able to have a full dinner next week as well.

As per our holiday tradition, we also had sparkling juice with our meal. Munchkin took this picture of D and I as she thought I needed to be in a picture too!

We were able to find some really nice flooring inexpensively thanks to a clearance and military discount. He did a wonderful job!! What a difference it makes in how the house looks. Now, we just need to get the house put back together. lol! I’ve been working on things here and there, but…

BFS #108 – Quality is Job #1

Posted in Family, and Fun

Assignment: My family and I rarely do anything apart from each other. We don’t really have quality time together because all our time is together. We feel like the more special moments are when we have dinner together or when we worship God together. For this assignment, tell how you and your family spend QUALITY time together. Other than when D is deployed or away for training, our family also does pretty much everything together. We enjoy spending time together doing things or even just being in the same room with each other while working on various projects. Lately, quality…
