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

  Today I'm linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  for the first Friday Favorites of 2025! Over the past three weeks, I have thoroughly enjoyed getting to spend more time with Wrenley. She is growing up so much. She is speaking in full sentences and is a clown to boot! We've enjoyed lots of naps in BeBe's bed, playing with baby dolls (one of her favorite things), and since I have to pick her up before 7 a.m. on the days she stays with me, we enjoy getting her favorites: donuts (nonuts) and hotcakes from McDonald's -not at the same time though! Snug as a bug in a rug! She loves her Ky Ky Another favorite is a clean kitchen! We have had our house in a bit of chaos like I'm sure everyone else has with all the holiday festivities (and with Carl being off). I am glad to have everything in its proper place! That ray of sunshine is therapy for my soul! The next thing on my favorites list is Carl's chili. We had it last night and will probably have leftovers for a few day...

Friday Favorites

 Happy January 74th! Ok but really, why does January seem to go on FOREVER?! Today I am linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  for Friday Favorites! This was definitely a favorite moment from this week!  Our 47th President, Donald J. Trump! Since Monday was also MLK day, I had the pleasure of watching sweet Wrenley.  Celebrating my niece, Ellie Kate's 15th birthday was definitely a favorite! I also watched Wrenley on Wednesday because she was a little under the weather. She had fun playing and getting lots of ice cream and popsicles! Wrenley will always be my favorite. On this day she wanted to "work" like BeBe. She's so precious, even with her little bedhead! Good Music is a favorite. Play some old-school country music and we are golden :) My favorite meal this week. It seems like forever since I made a home-cooked meal! Cajun baked chicken, corn (because Trey loves corn), broccoli, mashed potatoes with white gravy, and rolls were on the menu, and every...

Friday Favorites

Happy Friday, friends! We made it through another week here on the homestead. Today, I am linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  for another Friday Favorites :) This week has flown by! On Monday, Wrenley started her new "school year" at daycare. Even though she is in the same school with a lot of the same kids, she moved up and is now officially in PreK! She has had to adjust to new teachers, but seems to like it so far :) She is BeBe's big girl! 💓💓💓 At the beginning of the week, Carl asked if Makena and I wanted to go with him and Trey put some corn and salt blocks out for the deer. Say less, sir! Of course, our answer was yes :) Our chariot and driver Trey and Maggie Hopefully, our hard work pays off! Also came across this guy. He was around 5 ft. long and had 14 rattlers. Don't ask how I know that 😟 We always have a good time when we hang out with our guys, and that is most certainly a favorite! Watching my girl do her thing at work will always be my favorite!...
