Homeschool Update and More

Well here we are wrapping up our 5th week of homeschool and things are still going great!  We absolutely love being able to adjust our schedule to fit whatever we need to do.  Notice I said "need".  I still like to get things done as close to our schedule as possible, because I know of a couple of things we have on our calendar coming up.  We haven't made any trips with the co-op so far.  It's just not been at  convenient times for us.  One Thursday Carlie was sick, the next we had to be in town at that time (plus Thursdays are soccer days, so that makes it even harder), and then this week it was on a Friday....and we had a lot of stuff to get done today.  I think Carlie had a test and 2 or 3 quizzes and Makena had a couple of quizzes, and T had a lot of stuff that just would have been a pain to catch up on.  Sometimes, its just not worth missing a day of school! Hopefully we can catch the next fieldtrip.  I feel awful because I reached out to them and then I haven't been able to do anything yet, hopefully they are understanding :)
Harvest is still going strong, and it still hasn't rained yet!  I'm getting a little sick of it again!  WE NEED A BREAK!  I think I have prayed every day for the past 2 or 3 weeks that it would rain....it has rained in Arkansas, and maybe even in Arkansas County, but not where I need it!  I know, its not all about me.
So I have still been doing soccer practices and most everything else solo.
Trey's allergies and asthma have been acting up pretty bad over the past week.  It doesn't help that they are cutting corn less that a quarter of a mile from the house.  Now I sound like negative Nancy.  So let's talk about something positive. 
While the kids and I were in Wal-Mart the other day we were looking over in the Halloween section when I happend to see out of the corner of my eye....Christmas Trees....in September (I know I promised something positive)! That got me thinking about Christmas card picture ideas.  We usually always have a beach picture on the card somewhere but since I don't have a decent one, I was trying to think creatively. 
So, here is my idea:




Carl had a camper given to him sometime last year or early this year.  I hate it.  I would probably NEVER camp in it, however, I have now found some good use for it!  I want to keep it classy, not white trashy, but I totally think we could pull this off.  I'm already thinking of decorating ideas :)

Trey got his soccer uniforms at practice on Thursdays. Evidently all of the uniforms were a size bigger than they were supposed to be.  If you ordered a youth large, you got an adult small.  At least it isn't just us, I think the whole association had this issue.  Really though, how can he look this old?!

So mostly, this was just a catch up post.  We really do like schooling the way we are.  I feel like we are doing exactly what we are supposed to be doing right now.  I'm just trying to follow God's lead.

Much Love,
Beth

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!...

Red Flags: Guarding Our Hearts & Our Churches

 Scripture tells us that shepherds are entrusted with God's flock, no for selfish gain but "being examples to the flock" (1 Peter 5:3). A pastor's calling is a holy one, rooted in humility, sacrifice, and love. But Jesus also warned that not every shepherd has pure intentions--some are "wolves in sheep's clothing" (Matthew 7:15).  As believers, we must stay discerning. Here are some red flags to watch out for in pastors: 1.  Special Treatment for Certain Families  James warns against showing partiality (James 2:1-4), yet some pastors cater to certain families, wealthy donors, or influential members while neglecting the rest of the body. Christ doesn't play favorites--every soul in the church matters equally to Him. A true shepherd cares for the unnoticed as much as the well-known. 2. Neglecting the Brokenhearted  Jesus came to heal the brokenhearted (Luke 4:18), but a pastor who avoids the messy, hurting, or less "influential" people in th...

Back To School Photo Shoot

The girls have been begging me since yesterday to take some pictures of them in some of their new outfits but yesterday the weather was kinda iffy as to if was going to rain (never did) and we would have had to fix hair before....and that just didn't really fit into our day, so I told them after church would work.  I would have never guessed how sleepy I would have been after not enough sleep due to Carlie's stomach issues and the fact that I took sinus medicine before I went to bed thought I was going to bed at 11:00.  Needless to say,  could hardly keep my eyes open during church.  I was seriously thinking of finding an empty room and taking a nap until church was over!  Instead, I waited until after we ate lunch (leftovers from last night!) and cleaned up.  I think we finished in record time and I was snoozing away by 12:45 :)  I could hear the kids, so I got up around 2:30 and the first thing Makena asked me was "Can we take pictures now?"....
