Thursday: Feet off the Ground

Off the ground, and into bed you go, Teacher's feet! Just a smaaaall rest from awaking every two hours with Mascot to deaden the fever blister pains! Just a small-scale suffering on Teacher's part, as sweet lil Mascot is hurting much.

Father in heaven, I thank you for this child and the perfect way you have created him. Give us the patience and strength to endure this illness. May he continue to heal as we have already seen you handiwork in his health and thank you now for the continued healing. Grant us the courage to trust in your plan. In Jesus' name, Amen.

Well, if a tired Teacher MUST get out of bed, sunshine is the destination. Off to the neighborhood park the Homeschool ventured.



Student read the funnies as Warrior climbed, swung and hanged from each available piece of playground equipment.

Back at the Homeschool, Warrior and Mascot had bonding time with Play-Do! Yes, those green molds for Sesame Street 3D characters were Teacher's when she was a child...woah did God go before the Homeschool and provide for our needs! Warrior's Play Do fetish probably wouldn't have developed without those nifty tools!



During which, Student cuddled up and found quiet time with a book. No news, really. She still is fostering her God-instilled love of reading with books galore! She read in her Sadie Rose series today. Also, Student continues her review seatwork as her official 2nd grade curriculum begins in Sept after the holiday. She loves the laze fair style of review. She is handed the books, and she chooses which pages to complete! What an independent and administrative personality...wonder whom she is related to?!

Having much sunny-recess time in the backyard, Warrior has completely reconstructed the swingset into an obstacle course. Only one mud-pile is being incorporated, so Teacher can deal with the repercussions. And what entertainment for Mascot! Observing and plotting his addition in a year, Teacher is sure of it!

In a friendly game of memory to match up the alphabet, Warrior had to choose the cards between the grabbing of Mascot. What a balance in the homeschool! Warrior is all too familiar, already. Mascot ended with his fair-share of hotwheels discovery.
Track + Cars= Sandwich...just open wide! Fever blisters and teething juice will now overcome the car...



Hmmm...too slow with the camera...missed his amazing slobber overload...

Student's current working piece in Suzuki has been the most fierce frustration of her lifetime! Maybe it's just the transition of her age, or the fact that she's tired of Teacher giving musical instructions and looongs for Mrs. S? Either way, her working piece, Perpetual Motion is just 2 measures from completion. Then there's always tempo to increase! That's Student's fav part! The faster the better in her book!
