Time Management and Some other Stuff: FridayFavs!

Time management. Not my best skill. Using a bow staff, now that's totally my skill. Still, if I had to use the bow staff at a particular time, it might just be rendered useless or not found because it is under my laundry pile (which by the way is awfully low since my Momma showed up on the scene from North Carolina...yeah she's the best). This is why I have not again posted to FridayFavs. No, not because I've been using my bow staff skills all too often. No, no that's not why I don't have time...it's that managing it wisely thing that hangs me up. Anywhoo, it's actually Thursday night (HA! Take that time management) whilst I work on these. Enjoy! Oh, and do read some of Rachel's encouraging blog posts. You can thank me later.

I do love you dearly.

Koen.

Spent all of 5 minutes figuring the two wheel thing out.

Way. To. Go!

This girl.

Sitting on this special quilt.

Outside.

Knitting.

The one who loves to read.

Especially when we get a new JM Cremp's Magazine.

Yes, he's all boy, as the saying goes.

An unexpected gift from a dear friend.

Thank You!

YUM!

P.S. Ahem, since I had to google bow staff to make sure it was not a deer hunting weapon then maybe I don't possess that skill either....sigh....

Never Too Late for Friday Favs!

Yes, I know it's Sat. It's actually lateish Sat. evening. FridayFavs are actually supposed to be posted on Friday. Which is not today. Obviously. Oh, time management we have already decided you are one of my greatest foes. However, since the past couple of weeks have been, well pretty wonderful I thought I would share in more of the fun and favorite things we did together. These here are some of our Favs from when the laundry fairy (AKA Nana) was still in town. Making sweet treats And a Pinata And just for the record Pinatas are hard to make. It is a project that takes about a week. Not 2 or 3 days Unless you live in the South and can put it outside to dry in Oct. Best. Dad. Ever. Ironman. Meg (from Little Women). And a pirate, of course. I love them all. Well, the children dressed up as them anyway. Yup. This here is the...

This Last we do look forward to

Growing up, going to school there were two days most look forward to. The first day of school...and the last. Ok, so there were some in between, but we are talking about MOST looked forward to. It isn't a whole lot different with home schooling, but I must admit now I get that feeling that you teachers must feel at the end of the year...sweet relief...and it sure feels great! This year the kids helped me put together some games for an end of year par-tay. But first we decided an end of year photo is a must. Here is to our future veterinarian and firefighter...Lord willing... Koen, of course, was upset (just a little) that he did not have a sign. I love you Koen boy. There was a lot of chalk smashing and drawing and that helped Koen feel better. Balloon throwing. More Balloon throwing. Balloon Races Pizza Making Some finger paint. Found this idea at this sweet blog. And why not just chalk paint ...

Desert Diorama: FridayFavs

This wispy thing called time flies by when you're having fun. Or not. Or when your kids are sick. And this week as flown by. For all those reasons and more. Though we I did sneak in a few special moments with one of my favourite little men. We decided to take a morning (while sister nursed a sore throat by staying in bed, listening to Adventures in Odyssey and reading) to build a desert diorama. Like most things in our life, it was pretty much a mess to begin with. But like my mom is forever saying, "Sometimes you gotta make a mess to make a thang better." Did you hear the Southern drawl?? And tada. Something to feel good about. It's actually a desert with an oasis. Pretty brilliant, I know. Ok, maybe not but good enough for this mess of a home. And this handsome boy, he smiled big. Cause accomplishment always feels good. Even in the small th...
