1st Day of School!!!

Major concentration

Look at that face! She is really concentrating on what she is doing!!!
SMILE!!!

Gavin had to have his school too! (A coloring page worked!!)

Today was Dakotah's 1st day of school! I was going to start her last week, but with the fast trip to IN, that didn't happen! So we did 2 1/2 days worth of work in 2 1/2 hours, and that is also with interruptions from Gavin and Skylar. No, no butt powder, but just making a mess in his room and Skylar pulling all the books of her shelf in her and Dakotah's room!
Dakotah LOVED doing school work! She has been BEGGING me for WEEKS now, and I kept saying later honey. So, FINALLY today she got to do it! I told her when we were almost done that we only had a couple more pages to do and then we would be done, she said, but mom, I want to do it ALL!! I said, honey, we are done for today, we will do more tomorrow, ok? She was ok with that then! She has a LOT more to do before she is done! I thought she would get pretty tired, especially since she has a week of catch up to do, but she did really good!!! So hopefully it stays that way!!! And that I can keep Skylar and Gavin happy, those 2 played sooo good together and then after lunch all 3 played really good! YEAH!! One day down, how many more to go? ;o)

Congrats on a successful first day! And, to answer your question, I think there's only about 1800 days to go! :-)
Happy Homeschooling!

Run-Aways

Wow, this has seriously been an eventful week! Starting off with the whole fabric softener mis-hap, which you can read on here if you didn't see or hear about it! Then Curt left Monday nite, Tuesday, well, it was ok, we had mom's group and the kids were acting up a bit, but nothing too bad... Then Wednesday I had a meeting at the church... It started out ok, the meeting wasn't long at all! Gavin came into the room and said he wanted to go play outside on the playground. I told him no, because I couldn't see him. I said, what if someone came by and picked you up and grabbed you and took you somewhere? Mommy would never see you again and I would be soooo sad! I said, I can't see you, so you need to stay inside. Well, not more than 3 minutes passed and Kotah comes up to me and says, uh, mom, Gavin is trying to go outside. So, I get up, go over to him and talk. I asked him what is he doing? he says, I WANT to play OUTSIDE! I said, bubby, I can't see you, so you can...

Judah's Wife Book Review

I received this book from Bethany House for free if I agreed to read and then blog about it. Judah's Wife is by Angela Hunt. I've read a few of her books and absolutely enjoyed and loved them!  I was very excited to be picked to read this book! I've honestly not read anything from the books of Maccabees.  This story is the "silent years' between Malachi and Matthew. I really would like find Maccabees now to read it since I've read this book. This book was amazing! Love being able to read stories that really capture what it was like.  Angela Hunt has done this in this book. I really enjoyed how she told it from Judah's side and Leahs side.  It would go back and forth, but it wasn't confusing at all. Talks about Leahs up-bringing and how she struggled. Her father wasn't a real father figure and in time she realizes how much her mother protected her from her father and his blows. She struggles to truly love Judah at first who was somewhat fo...

Cancelled

What a busy crazy day! Curt left right away this morning around 7 to get his blood taken.  He got back and then Audrey got here.  We played and picked up for a bit then left to go to the Health Department to get our TB test done.  We got there around 10ish and they told us we needed to make an appointment.  So we waited for a bit to make an appointment.  Thankfully they had an opening for today yet.  They only do these tests on Friday, so we really didn't want to have to wait until next Friday if at all possible.  Got an appointment for 1:15 and 1:30.  I was thinking ugh, either no nap and very little nap, but I didn't care!  ;) Got home, cleaned up a bit more, got the kiddos some lunch, then we turned around and left to go back to the Health Department.  (I did NOT see the water guy! ;)) Got back there, got asked some questions, wanted to know why I need the test...  I said adoption.  They saw all the other 5 kids and as...
