One. More. Time: FridayFavs!

So as you very well may know,

up in Yooperville,

it does A LOT of

this.

So we do things

like this.

Oh, yeah!

And doing these things

well, it means that

lunch may be a little late because

that darn tape just won't stick right

And

"Mom, I need your help!!!!"

And

though you think the 8 year old

should be able to do this alone

perhaps, he needs you to show him

one.

more.

time.

And alas,

most of us just need

one.

more.

time.

All the time

Like, daily.

And

Just so you know.

Sister kept "score."

And

Yes, she's good like that.

Love them.

All of them.

All the time

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.

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 ...

Just Me

I steal a few moments away by myself. Alone. Just me. So I drive down to the weekly farmer's market to buy some peaches and romaine lettuce. Yes, my mother would be proud. The seagulls are screeching. The lake is glistening against the sun's radiance. I smile and stumble along, almost feeling out of place with out the 7 tag-a-longs. (I said almost ) Just me, thinking about how special this place is. And how Good the Lord is. How faithful He is to provide. And how really, I love it here.
