Soccer Season 2008

Posted in Family, and Homeschooling

Munchkin’s soccer season has officially begun. Last week for Friday and Saturday’s practices, we were sweltering in 90 degree heat. This week for Friday’s practice and today’s clinic the temperature was just right. It was in the low 70s with a nice breeze. Our league starts out the season with a clinic to teach all of the kids the basics of the game. Munchkin had fun learning how to do the throw ins. Last year, they only had them do the throw ins with both feet planted. This year, they’re learning how to run up and throw the ball with…

Our Week at a Glance

Posted in Family, Homeschooling, and Thoughts

Well, homeschooling activities are once again in full swing. It’s funny how we homeschool to have more freedom, but most activities still seem to revolve around the traditional school schedule. The only thing that is different is the time of day that many of the activities take place. This week, we’ll be starting up our 7 day study of weather. We’ll be continuing to work our way through the book of Luke. Munchkin will be doing her daily vocabulary word of the day as well as working on the vocabulary words that go with our weather unit. She is striving…

Remembering September 11, 2001

Posted in Family, Holidays, Homeschooling, and Thoughts

September 11, 2001 — the world as we knew it changed. Our nation came together. We worked together, grieved together, and prayed together. Let us take a moment to remember those who lost their lives on that tragic day. Let us take a moment to celebrate the lives of the heroes that put their lives on the line to save others. Let us take a moment to pray for our country. Munchkin doesn’t remember the events of September 11th as she was too young. Today, we will spend some time reflecting and learning about the events of that day. You…

BFS – Plop, plop, Fizz, fizz; Oh, What a Relief It Is!

Posted in Family, Fun, Homeschooling, and Thoughts

Assignment: This would be a good week to tell about your worst struggles with a lifestyle of homeschooling. Tell about something you’ve struggled with and how God’s mercies gave us the strength to get past it. Also, share any curriculum/homeschool methods that have been a relief to you, i.e., a particular Teacher’s Manual or Homeschooling method that’s been easier for your family. Talk about how you felt when the burden was lifted and Oh, What a Relief it is! Homeschooling involves some sacrifices for everyone involved. It would be easier if I could go to the doctor or run errands…

The Storm Has Passed

Posted in Family, and Thoughts

We are happy to report that the storm has passed. The sun is finally peeking through the clouds, and the rain has stopped. The roof of our gazebo/screen room was torn to pieces, a tree broke, and there is debris all over the yard. But, it wasn’t as bad as what they expected. We only had very brief power outages throughout the day. We enjoyed our relaxing day at home. Munchkin played, and I worked on going through some boxes of stuff to donate or give away. Now, we’re playing a game. We’ll continue to pray for those in the…
