School Days

Well today we started our first day of 11th, 10th, and 6th grade!



We had a great day and no major ordeal!! Everyone worked super hard and we were finished by 1:30 or 2. From now on the videos for each lesson will be a little longer, but today they gave them a break☺
Trey is taking the normal subjects for his grade: Bible, Arithmetic, Reading, Language, Spelling, Creative Writing, New World History,  Science, and Art.
Makena is taking mostly 10th grade classes with the exception of U.S. History, which is 11th grade. So her classes are: Bible Doctrines, Plane Geometry, U.S. History, English/Lit 10, Spanish I,  and Biology.
Carlie is taking easier classes this year because she took a lot of junior and senior classes her Freshman year when she was in private school. So her classes this year are: Hebrew History (Bible), Plane Geometry (she and Makena are doing a class together for the first time!!), World History, English/Lit 11, Business Math, and Physics. 
I am slightly nervous about Physics...for me, not Carlie! She whizzed through Chemistry like nobody's business, I just do not have ANY experience with it! I wasn't even required to take Chemistry in high school because I took Biology II, which was an honors class. This should be her last science to take☺
We have been getting lots of stuff in the mail about college days at different schools. I know this is the year to start visiting colleges. We are planning to go to UAM, Central Baptist, and possibly Ole Miss. It is all going too fast and I just want to push pause...but I can't. So I pray every night for God to lay on our hearts where she needs to be and ask him to (slowly) prepare me for the changes to come.
Having a yummy breakfast of farm fresh eggs, bacon, and toast☺

Pop with the kiddos. My mom was actually there too, she was just taking a picture.

Grammy came down early to see the kids. This tradition started way back when Carlie started Kindergarten!

I love the sticker I bought for my Yeti earlier in the summer 😊
We are raising arrows here at the Munger Homestead!


Here's to a fantastic start to the 2017-2018 school year!

Much Love,
Beth

Monday Morning Chit-Chat

  Happy Monday, friends! Well, here we are again. Another Monday morning, another fresh week, and another cup of coffee that I'm hoping will magically give me the energy to accomplish all the things on my to-do list. Spoiler alert: It probably won't. But I'm going to drink it anyway. I thought we would start this week with a little old-fashioned chit-chat. Nothing too serious, nothing life changing. Just a little catching up on life lately, a few random thoughts, and whatever else happens to pop into my head. you know, the kind of conversation we'd have if you stopped by my house, pulled up a chair, and stayed a while. So grab your coffee (or whatever gets you going in the morning), and let's visit. First things first...it's October! This year is absolutely flying by. I love this time of year. The cozy evenings, the fall decorations, the soups and comfort foods, and the excuse to stay home in my pajamas a little longer. Now if Arkansas could just get the memo t...

What's Up Wednesday

 Happy What's Up Wednesday! Today I am linking up with  Shay  and  Sheaffer  for another "What's Up Wednesday" Let's do this! What we're eating this week... So far this week we have made: Wings on the Pit Boss Slow Cooker Pineapple Pork Chops You can't get any easier than wings and chops! Especially when they are on the grill and slow cooker!! What I'm Reminiscing About... Septembers past: September is Trey's birth month. It is also the month that my grandpa died four years ago. This is the year that Papa gave Trey a gun for his birthday. He was so proud to give it to Trey and you can tell by the look on Trey's face how happy he was. Such a sweet moment to remember. Our county fair is also in September. My kids used to love it when they were younger. They still love rides, just not the traveling kind :) This was Wrenley's school picture last year. She has grown so much in one year :) What I'm Loving... Makena and my mom have started mak...

Be Her: When Our Ideal Self Becomes an Idol

 Ella Langley's "Be Her" got me thinking about something I think a lot of women struggle with- the woman we think we should be.  You know her. She's more disciplined. More confident. More put together. She exercises, keeps the house clean, reads her Bible every morning, never loses her patience, and somehow always has good hair. We tell ourselves, If I could just be her..... And there's nothing wrong with wanting to grow. But what happens when the woman we want to become turns into an idol? Sometimes we become so focused on our ideal self that we forget to ask God who He wants us to become. There's a subtle difference between praying, "Lord, make me more like Christ," and saying, "Lord, help me to become the woman I've decided I need to be." One is surrender. The other can easily become control.  Philippians 1:6 reminds us that He which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ. God isn't waiting fo...
