First Day ~ October


I am linking up with Nicole @ Journey to Josie again this month. You can join us too, each month. Just snap photos of your activities for the first day of the month and link up with Nicole. Our first day of October was an abnormal one. Here it is.

My little boy's lunch of pb&j (my 6'3", almost 18 year old little boy), made lovingly by his mama.

Had to finish up a review for the Schoolhouse Review Crew

My favorite Bible verse. Today was a day I needed to repeat it to myself over and over.

All ready for my child support trial. Feeling good!

The courthouse where I spent 7 years of my career. I hate that place.

The trial's over. Hallelujah! Things went WELL!! That's my good lookin' dad right there. He turns 65 today!

The torrential rains we endured driving home and on our way to Brynne's volleyball game.

My girl looks like an athlete.

She has really improved her serving this year. She is the bomb!

She really enjoys playing sports with her friends.

Late night dinner after the volleyball game. Kyndal and I hadn't eaten since before lunch.

What a perfect way to end the night. My man Derek Morgan on Criminal Minds.

I looked at this several times during the trial to remind myself that God had this. And he did.

  1. Wonderful how everything turned out. I have been praying for you - I had one this spring and he ended up being a no-show, so the attorney requested the judgment be entered. Phew! So happy it is over and praying for a wonderful outcome for you as well. Loved the peak into your day!

ABCya

Eli's reading resource teacher shared a website with me yesterday that I would like to pass along. It's called ABCya . There are separate educational sections with fantastic games for ages kindergarten through 5th grade. I browsed the 2nd grade level, and it includes age-appropriate games about Letters, Numbers, Shapes, Geometry, Patterns, Mouse Manipulation, Art and Holiday games. There are lots and lots of fun and creative games for children to play. They are fun, but oh, so educational. Eli's favorite, in his short time playing it, was Create a Car . A lot of the games also have Apps available for purchase (99 cents for most of them) for the iPad and iPhone. I have been looking for another free website for games similar to Starfall , for some time. I think I have found it. I can feel confident having Eli and Brynne play these games.

Cells ~ It's What's for Dinner

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.

Last Child in the Woods ~ Chapters 1-4

Welcome to our book study of Last Child in the Woods by Richard Louv. To be honest, I have no idea what this "study" is going to look like. I imagine that when we get together I will post about all of the things that caught my eye. And I would ask that you leave a comment, or a link to your own blog post in the comment, about what caught yours. This isn't anything formal, ladies, just a place to talk about what we have read. I have now read the first four chapters of Last Child in the Woods two times. It is just so good. Several things have specifically hit me deep, but in general I just realized that "times, they are a changin'." Things aren't the way they were when we were kids. Chapter 1. Gifts of Nature ~ "When I see birches bend to left and right ... I like to think some boy's been swinging them." ~ Robert Frost What is your definition of nature? What feelings, visions, senses does it conjure up? For me, it's not a
