Random 5 on Friday ~ Celebration Edition

By


1. We celebrated my dad's 65th birthday last night with dinner at my parents'. We all gathered as a family to celebrate our dad and to spend time together. Things are crazy busy with my whole family right now as my sister just bought her first house, my niece is preparing to have her baby, and my parents are heading to Florida. It was nice just to get together for some food and fun. My dad really seemed to enjoy it.

2. I am personally celebrating the conclusion of my child support case with my ex-husband. It is now in the hands of the judge and I trust that it will all work out in the best interest of Kyndal and Dawson. It's been a long road and our whole family is so glad this is over. We can all move on with our lives now.

3. Last night Eli and Brynne were celebrating their daddy coming home one day early this week by waiting up for him to get home just shy of midnight. I can't say I had the same stamina.

4. I did it! I finished all three seasons of Revenge on Netflix! That is definitely cause to celebrate. I can now get back to cleaning my house. I am all caught up and can start watching season 4 with the rest of the world (just one episode a week instead of 8 or 9 a day). Season three ended with a bang!

5. And the ultimate celebration this week? Kyndal and Collin got their engagements photos taken and the Save-the-Dates are ordered. Here are just a few of our favorite shots. Beautiful!

      Thank you, Jessy! The photographer is amazing and the models were pretty easy to photo, too.

CTC Math {Schoolhouse Review}

By
We found our groove with math this year. I found a curriculum that both of the kids respond well to and seem to enjoy (as much as one can enjoy math). We have spent the whole year learning the ins and outs of multiplication and were just a few lessons away from being ready to move onto the next year-long level on division. And then an opportunity to review the 12 Month Family Plan from  CTC Math became available. To be honest, I wasn't very enthusiastic. I mean, why mess with the methods that have worked so well? When I was chosen to review the product I didn't go into it with the level of enthusiasm that it deserved. We have been using a dvd/workbook curriculum with great success. The 12 Month Family Plan from CTC Math is a web based curriculum. As we have not had a lot of luck with those types of programs, I went into this review with a negative attitude. And then my socks were knocked off by how great it is. In fact it is so great that we are going to continue to ...

Veritas Press Self-Paced History: Old Testament and Ancient Egypt (Schoolhouse Review)

By
For the past several weeks we have been reviewing Veritas Press Self-Paced History: Old Testament and Ancient Egypt and the Old Testament and Ancient Egypt Flashcards  from Veritas Press . As we were entering into our more easy-going summer schedule, and had just concluded a two-year Old Testament Bible course, I was happy to try out this product as it appeared to be something that Eli and Brynne could do together, alone, and would act as a review of the Old Testament presented in a different way. And I was right. Each Veritas Press Self-Paced History program includes 160 lessons teaching about 32 events in history. They are designed for children in grades 2-6, and it is recommended that the student be a minimum of 7 years of age at the time of the first lesson. What We Received We received a full one-year subscription, for one child, to the online Veritas Press Self-Paced History: Old Testament and Ancient Egypt program and the accompanying Old Testament and Ancien...
