Words To Live By

1 Peter 5:7

Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.

Preschool and Kindergarten Homeschool Fun

Bible

We reviewed our memory verse and sang our theme song. We watched this video - Jesus Loves Me All the Time - and this clock craft (minus the mouse.) We talked about how Jesus loves us whether it's daytime or night time, no matter what is happening or what we are doing. 

Chicken Unit Study

We read this book . . . 

. . . and colored a hen and chick coloring page.

Math

We watched and counted along with the 1-20 chant and completed a counting worksheet. 

Reading

We did the Starfall ABC's letter A activity, Starfall's Learn to Read Lesson 1 - Zac the Rat, reviewed the -ad family words and read Wag.

Storytime

 

Austin and Amanda's Homeschool Assignments 

Science - How Does Your Memory Work - Part 3; English -Conversational English - What Are Embedded Questions?; Math - Geometry - Triangles and Angles; Bible - Proverbs 21; Literature - No Woman So Fair by Gilbert Morris.

Other Books We Enjoyed Today

I read these books with CJ and Michael at bedtime tonight. 

We Are Going

This afternoon after taking Lauren to preschool we stopped at the grocery store for a few things. Austin bought himself a car magazine and here he is poring over the cars while we waited for Amanda and Michael to come out of the store.

This evening was the weigh in for the derby cars the boys are racing with the boy scouts tomorrow. They've had so much fun working on these cars and Michael was a little upset about having to turn his in and leave it overnight. But he's looking forward to the race tomorrow.

Just For Fun

The Walnut Acre Daily - Busy Saturday

Words to Live By

Matthew 7:12

So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets.

Busy Day!

This morning Doug took Austin, CJ and Michael to cut their derby cars into shape. It's a Boy Scout project. Then they came home and began painting their cars. Here they are drying after the first round of painting. I think they are planning to do more painting another day, this is just the first stage.

After they were done painting CJ and Michael wanted to do other projects and Mykalin joined them. CJ wanted to make me a wooden box to carry things in, so Doug helped him with that. I thought that was so sweet of CJ to want to make that for me.  Mykalin and Michael decided to make crosses.

Amanda, Damien and I took our two dogs and one of the cats to the vet for rabies shots this morning. After we brought the animals back home we went curtain shopping and came home with these. From left to right here's where these new curtains are - upstairs hallway, upstairs bathroom, Austin's room and master bedroom. 

This evening Austin is at his grandparent's house. Every month or so the cousins and uncles (who are younger than Austin) decide to have an auction. I've never actually attended one of these auctions so I'm not sure exactly how they work. Basically they all get together with things they want to sell - things they've made or simply items they don't want any more and have an auction among themselves. These are very much looked forward too and sound like lots of fun. Austin just called me and asked if he could stay for the night so I guess they're having a good time.
