First Day ~ July

By

Yesterday I shared how we celebrated our 4th of July. But let's rewind a few days to our First Day post for July. The photos were taken but I've been too busy to download them and do this post. So, here is how we spent our 1st day of July.


An early morning bike ride with Brynne

This was our first day doing this route at the park.

It's a great view when riding!

Later Eli did some math work with fractional remainders.

My first pumpkin! It has grown a ton in the few days since then.

Ted the Cat in front of the pumpkin and sunflower patch.


This is a great personal Bible study if anyone is interested in one!

We are really working on Brynne's diet. She had turkey and grated carrots on pita with apples and a cheese stick.

Kyndal cut about 3-4 inches off my hair.

I was carrying on a serious conversation in this one.

Doesn't she do a great job?

Had to stop at Lowe's to get more paint for the exterior trim of our house that Rick is painting.

And some bread. I love the deals at the Sara Lee store!

Mommy, let us in! (I need to spray for weeds!)

Finished the night with Dawson's favorite dinner of manicotti and french bread.

Join Nicole at Journey to Josie for her First Day link up. It's lots of fun!

    Oh, your hair looks cute! I cut 16 inches off mine last summer and am growing it out again.I need a "style" to it though! Looks like those pumpkins are going well! Still waiting on flowers here! Soon, I hope.

Cells ~ It's What's for Dinner

By
Dawson made edible cells on Friday. He made an animal cell pizza ... and a plant cell chocolate chip cookie ... He reviewed what he's learned about cells the past two weeks, and I had dinner made by someone else. Win, win!! I am linking up at Science Sunday at Adventures in Mommydom.

A New Year, the Same Me

By
Happy 2019! It is that day of the year where everybody is up extra early starting their new exercise routine, eating only healthy foods, cracking open the pages of a new planner and Bible study, and debuting their Word for the year. You chuckle or roll your eyes, but you are doing at least three of these things. By the way, so am I. So let's start with the Word of the Year. Mine this year is Lagom. It's the Swedish word for "not too little, not too much, just right". It's a concept of being, doing or having just enough. So let's rewind to last New Year's Day. My Word was Might. And that's how I planned to tackle my year. And, I did. I worked out hard, I mommed hard, I traveled hard, I worked hard. And it was a good season. It prepared the way for this year. I accepted the Challenge I set for myself and succeeded. But, I don't need to keep up that pace. I am at a place in my life where I can kind of sit back and enjoy my life without f...

Science Sunday ~ Hmmm ... Let Me Think About It!

By
This week in our study of the Human Body , Brynne moved on to the Nervous System . Our first stop was a Pamela Hill Nettleton book called, Think, Think, Think: Learning About Your Brain . As part of our discussions about the brain , and the fact that it's the BOSS of the body, we discussed the importance of the spinal cord . We did a hands on spinal cord project by alternating gummy Life Savers and wagon wheel pasta on a pipe cleaner. We talked about why there was the "squishy" stuff in between the vertebra and how the back can bend and sway because of it. We completed "The Brynne" by adding the stomach, small intestine and large intestine, from our study last week of the Digestive System (although I just realized I have the large intestine coming out of the stomach, when the small intestine should be) and the brain and spinal cord. We are now done talking about the parts of the body and will conclude our study of the Human Body with a two-day unit ...
