WORDS TO LIVE BY

Better a small serving of vegetables with love
Than a fattened calf with hatred.
Proverbs 15:17

TODAY'S QUOTE

Economic advance is not the same thing as human progress. ~ John Clapham

IN THE KITCHEN

Michael and I had some fun in the kitchen this week making teddy bear toast and white chocolate chip cookies. 

ANIMAL UPDATES

This little dog followed Michael and I home from one of our walks. She's such a sweet little thing. But she discovered chasing our cats was not a good idea. She chased one cat only to have another cat comes to it's defense and smack her across the nose. Poor thing wasn't sure what happened!

HOMESCHOOL

Michael and I added a couple new learning activities this week. I placed math problems at various places on the car mat and then had him drive the number of cars that made the answer to the math problem.

Another time I placed words on the mat and he drove the cars to the words as I called them out. He seemed to really enjoy these activities.

OUT AND ABOUT

We had a fairly busy week. 

Sunday was church and choir practice. Sunday and Monday evenings we went to special meetings at a local church. Wednesday evening was dinner, prayer meeting or classes and choir practice at church. Thursday evening we were at my sister's for dinner. 

This afternoon we were at Wal-Mart and I had to get these photos of Michael dancing with Santa. He was so fascinated with this mechanical Santa that danced when he clapped his hands. I think poor Santa looks a little annoyed though at having his hat pulled.
