For Today, November 29th, 2010

Outside my Window.. a thin layer of white fluffy snow! Its super pretty

I am thinking.. What an amazing Thanksgiving day and Holiday weekend my family and I had, even thou my husband had to work alot, we made it work..thats life!

I am thankful.. for a cozy warm home, after seeing the tents that the homeless live in here its something ppl take for granted!

I am wearing, pink top, black pants.

I am remembering.. the hard work my children showed as we helped feed the homeless on Saturday.

In the learning room.. We had a great week! We took our time and learned the history of Thanksgiving. We stayed with the theme for each subject and created a Thanksgiving poster.. which the children are very proud of!

I am going... home for Christmas with my family!

I am currently reading... Soo many books, a chapter or two here or there. Not many pages were read, what a busy week we had

I am hoping.. our week goes smoothly with hopes of doing some organizing and jumping back into school after our holiday weekend

On my Mind.. How much I am blessed with!!!!!!!! I am a sinner saved and I dont deserve a thing!

Noticing that... christmas is around the corner! I have presents to wrap, yay

Pondering these words..."Old-fashioned, Spirit-filled, Christ-honoring, sin-hating, soul-winning, Bible preaching! It is the hope of the church! It is the hope of the nation! It is the hope of the world!" —Pastor Jack Hyles (1926-2001)

From the kitchen... lets see, our menu... guacamole burgers on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday is turkey soup, Thursday is sloppy joes..Friday is Momma's night off! ;) oh and I will have a small cooking lesson with the kids= peppermint fudge!

Around the house.. Fall decor OUT, Christmas IN! Organizing boots, gloves, hats.. gathering bags of clothes, clearing thru toys for donations.

One of my favorite things..

Christmas tree lit and pine candles lit too!

I got alot of my Christmas shopping done early for my family! Lots of hunting and fishing items and clothing for the guys in your life!

Also get on the list for free catalogs... hope you find a great deal! Christmas should not be about spending $$$$ but saving and finding precious gifts for our loved ones..

I would rather brag about a deal then how much I overpaid! ;)

Happy Shopping! Happy Saving!! Had to share!! <3

Count Your Blessings!

Got this idea from my cousin, a count your blessings box!

I created a box this year, last year we used a basket...

The idea is to write down your childrens, husbands and your own notes, what you are thankful for. During your thanksgiving dinner pass the box around and read aloud everyones thankful notes!

We got this box at Michaels for $1.00..all their thanksgiving foam stickers were on clearance and I also found scrapbook thanksgiving stickers..

My children really enjoyed decorating their box and adding lil notes!

Hope you enjoy this tradition!

Count your blessings!

Sweet Science Lesson

Last week we discussed the 5 senses in our science lesson..

It was a neat subject for sure. Reminded us to be thankful for having each one! We did a little experiment... i chose a few items and blind folded the kids to guess what they were... a bumpy gourd for the sense of touch.. a controller with buttons...cinnamon to taste.. strawberry jam for scent. They really had alot of fun and decided to blind fold me too! Which was kind of scary! ;~)

Now this week we will look into our favorite things about each sense..and study scriptures that relate to our senses!

Proverbs 20:12

Ears that hear and eyes that see - the LORD has made them both.

Psalm 34:8

Taste and see that the LORD is good; blessed is the man who takes refuge in Him.

Mark 8:25

Once more Jesus put His hands on the man's eyes. Then his eyes were opened, his sight was restored, and he saw everything clearly.

1 Corinthians 3:19

The wisdom of this world is foolishness in God's sight.

2 Corinthians 5:7

We live by faith, not by sight.

Happy Homeschooling!

In Christ, Sarah beth
