Happy Birthday!

Today is James' birthday! He is 9 years old. So far he has received $10, an army guy and chocolate cake. He is a very easy to please child, works hard in school and on chores and loves to meet new people.

Happy Birthday, Son.

Whew... What a Whirlwind!

Friday was "Friday Funday" as we made our valentine boxes for the party, signed valentine cards and sent out packages to family friends.







Saturday morning was the 2nd pancake breakfast at our local church and once again, my boy James did his duty to make the cooks feel good.

On Saturday afternoon, the pastor and his wife had a valentine party for the children and it was a very cute event where we were introduced to a new toy called Connectagons® Heart-to-Hearts. They were really neat. The children took pictures and then made little bears and hearts picture frames. They ate, had a dance freeze game and then heard a little devotion.


Today we had our bowling party with our homeschool group.

All in all a fun and busy 4 days. Sugar highs and nap time.

Looking for Gold

I love the Olympics! Summer and Winter. I went to the the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta and had the time of my life. I started planning soon after to go the the 2000 Olympics in Sydney, Australia, but I became a mama twice in the 2 years that followed and travel plans overseas were not completed. But I love the games and watch as much as I can with my children.

I have been trying to put together a study unit that we can do together in school and wondered if anyone has any good ideas or links that you would like to share. Leaning on y'alls creative juices....
