On Halloween (Saturday) we had a Turkey dinner with mashed
potatoes, applesauce and Jeremiah had
made and decorated this great cake.
He did really great with this cake and much
better with the homemade frosting.
Of course he was very happy for he hadn't made or decorated
a cake in a while (he wants to take more cake classes)
it was a very tasty cake.
Since hubby and I didn't waste a bunch of
money on costumes this year;
I had this really great bowling coupon
from our local bowling alley (decided against the whole chuckie cheese idea)
where we have our homeschool league
So we took the kids bowling for 2 hours of bowling for all
6 of us,
shoe rental, pitcher of pop all for 21.00
We had a really great time;
although I need a wrist support next time
I bowl.
Hubby enjoys bowling alot.
It's a really great sport for our family.
My hubby is musically inclined where I am not.
Meaning he can play a musical instrument--guitar and keep
a rhythm all I can do is read a little music.
So hubby was helping the kids
learn rhythm in our music curriculum also...
Teaching Benjamin how to play the Tambourine.
Jeremiah's turn.
Of course Phoebe too.
He was teaching them to the song
"Jesus My Rock."
I am on a K12 yahoo group and I heard about
this Virtues Curriculum...Character Curriculum for Primary Grades
(Hard To Find)
Well, I did some research and realized
K12 discontinued it or just don't carry it anymore
and I started searching for the book at the book
store The Children's Book of Virtues by William J. Bennett
and it cost 24.95 o-kay.
So I thought I am going to try ebay they had
one used but, missing the children's reader
I thought well, I will think-ponder on it to
see if it's a good idea well, while my pondering
it was snatched up.
So I said well, guess it wasn't meant to be.
A Couple days later a brand new one with everything
still sealed was posted and I purchased it right away...
Paying 24.00 with shipping...
I am so excited.
The kit includes:
The children's book of virtues hardcover
2 videos
Parent Guide
and Children's Reader
I am so thrilled to be able to have this
Virtues Curriculum
I think it will be great at bedtime
we are starting it next week.
Well, we have had alot of adjustments and
changes lately the school and our son moving out--
But, we must go on and find our "new normal"
cleaning and organizing and more adjusting
but, all in all--everyone must go through.
I am also excited to share that
two of our children
Jeremiah and Phoebe won third place
in the Bendaroo's art contest.
We just found out this evening so they should
each be receiving their 200 Bendaroos soon.
********
I will be posting our Art Lesson 7 very soon!
