Tuesday - Another Simply Blessed Day

WORDS TO LIVE BY

But I am like an olive tree
    flourishing in the house of God;
I trust in God’s unfailing love
    for ever and ever.
9 For what you have done I will always praise you
    in the presence of your faithful people.
And I will hope in your name,
    for your name is good.
Psalm 52:8-9

IN THE KITCHEN

For breakfast this morning we had cereal with milk, bananas, and juice. I fixed chicken strips, corn, applesauce, and butter bread for lunch. The kids had Special K snack bars and milk for snack. And this evening I made meatloaf, fried potatoes, peas and Rosemary Bread for dinner.

HOMESCHOOL

SOME OF THE RESOURCES WE USED TODAY

Austin and Amanda

Our Scripture reading today was Psalm 51.

Michael
 

Preschool



Me

 

AROUND THE HOUSE

I did four loads of laundry again today as well as sweeping floors and washing dishes. Austin washed some more windows, did the daily cleaning in the upstairs bathroom, vacuumed the hallway and steps, and washed down the kitchen cabinet fronts. Amanda did the daily cleaning in the downstairs bathroom, and cleaned a couple animal habitats. Michael took out the trash and helped set the table at lunch time.

OUT AND ABOUT

This evening we spent some time at my sister's. 

AND MORE

We're enjoying the warm sunny weather this week and the boys favorite thing to do outside is ride their bikes.

ANIMAL UPDATES

Look at Amanda's smart cat (named Puppy) helping me make the weekly menu and grocery list. I had to say to his suggestions of fried mouse and roast rat though. I just don't think the people in this house would enjoy that.

YARD AND GARDEN

The garden is still doing wonderful. However the rain is keeping us from getting into it and doing what we need to do. The weeds are getting away from us and the beans need to be picked. I did some greens and Austin helped me with turnips and with pulling some of the weeds. 

WORKING, LEARNING, AND PLAYING TOGETHER

This swingset is swingless at the moment so the kids use it as monkey bars instead. Michael sometimes struggles to keep up with the others but he is determined to learn and keeps trying. He's even had blisters on his hands from trying so hard and has made a lot of progress. 

IN THE KITCHEN

I canned one quart and five pints of chicken stock this evening. I made this from the scraps of some chicken leg quarters I had cooked and taken the meat off of for a casserole. I use this to make soups, stews, gravy and homemade cream of chicken soup. 

OUT AND ABOUT

Our errand day run was short today. The kids didn't have very many stops they wanted to make and Michael found what he wanted at Goodwill pretty quickly. It was nice for a change.
