Homeschool Musings and More!

Carlie Erin, working hard on her Algebra 2

Makena Faith does NOT love Physical Science (yet).  Hopefully she will like it a little more as the year goes on !!

Trey had his first soccer practice on Tuesday evening.  He loved it!  I think it is so great that he is able to have some time with "the boys" (there are about 4 girls on his team also, but he mostly hangs with the boys)!

We took about half a day off from school on Tuesday and went to Little Rock with my mom.  We made a Sam's run, stopped by Academy, and then we went to the mall.  I have been needing a new fall scent.  I actually had this one last year and I loved it.  So marshmallow pumpkin latte it is!

We started the Gospel Project at Church on Wednesday night.
Our lessons are about Elijah for a while.  This week it was about his confrontation with evil King Ahab.  I found this cute craft on Pinterest for my kids to do.  They loved it!  They just thought it was too cool that I picked up sticks out of my yard and tore up paper for them to craft with!!

Me (looking ratchet) and Makena Faith at Trey's soccer practice tonight.  She and I had a good time watching him.  Boys are just different and a little gross.  When he got in the car he took off his shin guards and said, "look, there is sweat running down them" (and there was)!  Carl didn't get to start harvesting rice today because they were working on the combine and then it showered a bit, so he stayed at home with Carlie who is running a fever and has a sore throat (lovely).  She probably needs her tonsils taken out, but literally freaks out any time you mention surgery!

And the coolest (homeschool) teacher award goes to me!  I mean, how many teachers can say they wear their snuggly leopard bathrobe AND matching socks to teach in?!

This was Trey at practice tonight.  He really does like it and seems to be catching on quickly.
We call him the T-train!

Busy, Busy Week!!

Much Love,
Beth

Friday Favorites

  Happy Friday, friends! Today I'm linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  for another Friday favorites. And here they are in no particular order: Last week our preacher told us that he had a surprise for us next week.  I had honestly forgotten about it until Carl mentioned at lunch on Sunday.  Trey said he knew what it was, but he wasn't telling.  It still didn't occur to me what it could be until we arrived at church on Sunday night, and I saw that Trey had a notebook along with his Bible sitting next to him on our pew.  It was him. Trey was the surprise.  He gave a short devotion before our Business Meeting.  He did well, considering it was his first time.  He said the congregation was a lot scarier when you are the one being stared at! This is a big deal because about 7 months ago he realized that he needed Jesus as his Savior.  And that came after about 7 months of me worrying about him, while he was trying to stretch hi...

Friday Favorites

 It's been a hot minute since I've linked up with  Andrea  and  Erika  for a Friday Favorites! This is me trying to get back into my blogging groove :) I came across this little dress last year when we moved, and I knew it would be fit Wrenley this summer! It was Makena's circa 2004.  I just love it when a plan comes together.  A favorite for sure! Look at those babies. Twenty years has flown by. Miss Wrenley Beth. She doesn't look a thing like her momma, but definitely has Aunt Makena's sass! Hopefully as her hair grows, she will get Carlie's curls. We have been doing as much outdoor activities as possible.  That includes one of my favorite things...fishing! Carl, showing off his big bass. We weren't technically bass fishing, but whatever bites. It'll eat! Of course we have also been going to the river.  Our kids weren't able to go with us, so we just took the jet ski.   It has been raining so the water is a gross brown. I didn't s...
