Thursday: Found

Not only did the Homechool find another day given from our Father to attempt learning again, but we located our LOST illustrated Bible! Atop the Principal's desk, where else should it be?! On the other hand, we had to lift the covering debris, and usually this task doesn't even rate on the day's priority list, so not until we HAD to make room to type did we uncover it!

And so we began the New Testament, and read of the pregnancies of both Elizabeth and Mary. Toddler was just sure that when his day comes to have a baby, it will be in his tummy with room to leap like John. We'll see just what plans for good God holds for Toddler. And not to put our awesome God into a box, we just think it's NOT likely to include pregnancy. That funny boy brings smiles to every lesson he partakes of!

Activity wore out Student and Toddler, to the point of playing NIGHTTIME at the rec center today. After much ball-dribbling, stroller-pushing and sibling-chasing, they resolved to lay with coats and Mascot's blanket in the center court.



It was Mascot who slept in cute company: twin girls of the calmest kind. Maybe it was the lingering sickness, that kept them contented and quiet...but those raisin-eating babes were great baby-talkers to Mascot!



Student completed chapter 2 in Mattie Mae. It was the title of the second chapter that Student related to: Uncle Tobe. He was a good story-teller, according to Mattie Mae. Guess Student will just have to inquire to Uncle Toby if he has the same talent!

Completing Math seatwork somewhere in the middle of the day, it was a welcomed one-page day for Student!

Finishing up with Phonics, Mascot babbled the sounds right back to Student. Wonder what his first word will be?!



Continuing the preparation for Friday's Vday party, the Homeschool had some still-needed items from the store. Student created the list and we followed it:
pipe cleaners
glitter foam paper
trinket prize
ribbon
Student and friends will create some sweet gifts of love for our church pal shut-ins. Can't wait for the fun of pinata and cookie decorating all wrapped into a Friday afternoon! May we feel the overwhelming love of God lavished upon us this Vday, and everyday. Amen.
