Deuteronomy 6:5-9

"You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might. These words, which I am commanding you today, shall be on your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your sons and shall talk of them when you sit in your house and when you walk by the way and when you lie down and when you rise up. You shall bind them as a sign on your hand and they shall be as frontals on your forehead. You shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates.

One more week! (and home educating)

Well the count down is on! It really hit me today. (and last night) :) I could hardly sleep from the excitement. I hope this is not what my week is going to look like. I still have much to do.
  1. Clean boys room (cleaning out toys)
  2. Pedicure! (I got a gift certificate for my b-day)
  3. Pack hosp. bags (baby is all packed)
  4. Cut coupons
  5. Grocery store
  6. Make a few meals for the kids to eat while I'm at the hosp.
  7. Bake and freeze some bread.
However, the rest of my list is DONE!!! I even managed to get some school in. Below are some pics. from math with the boys. I do plan on doing a lot more school with the children this week. (since our list is a lot smaller)Yes this is math! Probably one of the boys favorite things to do. They're learning how to add money. I let them each pick out 5 toys and then I "price" them. They have to decide what to buy. It's really neat to see Ethan debating it in his head. He tries to get "more for his money." :) With Andrew it's more focusing on counting by tens and then ones.

Through all of their home educating we're still able to point the boys to Christ. The latest struggle with this activity, is Andrew tried to buy the toys that he knew Ethan wanted. Who would have thought we would have character training in the midst of math. Thank you God for that opportunity.

Taylor has been listening to Story of the World, reading, and working on Math. BUT, like I said this week we'll be doing more.

we finished our homeschooling core with Anna last week.... I really pushed and even "schooled" on Saturday to get the "core" done. But all summer we will continue Science... the kids and I really like Science (never knew this about myself!!!).

and we will continue Story of the World too... reading will be a main part of our summer.... so finishing our history will fit in perfectly:)

Oh, and I LOVE practical math!!! My kids LOVE store as well:) Only Anna counts above pennies right now:)

And I was thinking today about getting Anna a "journal" and having her write a few times a week???

Great you've gotten soo much on your list completed!! I really think my house is cleaner right now than it's been in a while.... probably with the construction almost complete and me trying to be ready for a midnight hospital birth like 2 of my kiddies;)

Got any pregnancy pics of yourself???
