Merry CHRISTmas

I can not believe we are so close to yet another Christmas! I pray that everyone has a safe and Blessed holiday. Remember the REASON for the Season...

Looking Ahead

How can it already be November? Mom was right, once you have kids the time will seem to fly by. Oh, how right she was! Just marked the 24th anniversary of my moms passing. It never is easy when this time of year comes around. I think of her often when I see the days and months pass by faster than I would like them to. I so wish she could have been here to see me married and to see her grandbabies. I truly believe one day she will.

The kids and I are looking forward to the Thanksgiving break, we need to really buckle down these next 2 weeks and get as much as we can done and try hard to be at a good stopping point. I hope that this Thanksgiving break I will be able to put the school stuff up and lock my office and stay OUT! I need to make it a point to do that and not mess with school during this wonderful time of year. A season of THANKS!

I am so very thankful for a lot of things....my GOD, family and friends....with out any of them, this life would not be fun that is for sure. My hope is for everyone to take a moment and really think about what they are Thankful for and truly enjoy this time of year and to see just how lucky we all are!

Art

Joshua had his first art class on Friday. He did wonderful I do believe:)

He really enjoyed it. The class is held at Hobby Lobby every Friday for two hours, the lady teaches with pastels. This will clash with our sports day stuff the kids do, but I will leave it up to him which he wants to do when they clash every other week.



He came home sharing all about it...and plans on doing some practice work this next week. We shall see what he comes up with next.

Happy September!!

Who else can not believe it is already September?? Unreal if you ask me. This month is a special month of the year, my hubby and I celebrate 15 years of marriage on the 23rd. WOW!!! We started dating in high school back in Jan 1991. That right there is unreal:) A good time of year....hope everyone is having a great school year so far!

New Office/School Room!!!

Joshua working on Bible

Extras for the workboxes and folder games

Some of my fun things, other stuff is kept in my school closet...Like being able to see stuff I have.

My new office/School Room! Love it!!!

After much talk, we have moved the boys into the game room. My new office/school room is now in Joshua's old room, and Landon's room we are making plans to be the foster childs room. For right now the boys have set up some tables in there to have a quiet spot to go work when needed. They loved it today!

I LOVE the new space. It is so nice to be able to have the room for my stuff. I have some of my things in the room along with my school closet. Not having things at the top of my stairs in the main hall is wonderful! I sure hope this set up lasts. I think the BEST part is at the end of the school day I can shut the door and no one can see it, if it is a mess:)
