Our Weekend Ended on a High ...

By

.... Fever, that is.

But we'll get to that in a minute. Let's talk about the other extreme highs of our weekend! Because there were many.

Rick showed up on Friday with our king sized bed! Thankfully our bedroom suite fit in our tiny bedroom, although it's cramped. But I don't care because we are now sleeping comfortably.

On Saturday morning Eli and Brynne started their new bowling season. Their team, the Cobras, won first in state last spring so they were presented with their plaques. Eli also received a plaque for placing 4th in singles. Then the kids bowled three games. We are so proud of them and excited for another season!


Rick took Brynne to play golf and after Eli got a haircut from Kyndal (and a massage in the pedi chair), she and I went "to town" to get groceries and Halloween costume props.


We might have stopped for a little snack because THE McRIB IS BACK! It's my favorite time of the year!


We got home at dinner time and Collin grilled chicken while Kyndal made pasta and I put away groceries. We had dinner and then carved pumpkins.


On Sunday Brynne had a volleyball tournament. They played five full games. She had been feeling bad on Saturday evening but went to the tournament anyway because this was the one and only time Rick has gotten to see her play and it meant so much to her. By the end of the tournament she was running a fever which she ran all night.


Dawson and I watched three episodes of Game of Thrones Sunday evening. I was wiped out and couldn't do even one more thing, like my dishes ... (I did get them loaded into the dishwasher first thing Monday morning.)


or roasting this huge batch of pumpkin seeds ... (although I did get them roasted and seasoned with cajun seasoning this morning.)


Now back to the high fever ... Brynne has run a fever between 102 and 103 since Sunday night so we haven't done any schoolwork so far this week. Turns out that volleyball tournament was her last time to play volleyball this season because she has been too sick this week to attend any of her games. I did take her to the doctor this morning and she just has a virus. She tested negative for strep and the flu. So she and I have been getting caught up on some episodes of Once Upon a Time.

Staty turned for an upcoming post called "We Went South" because after such a great weekend, lots of yucky things have happened. Oh, the ebb and flow of life.

We all know that in this crazy world of homeschooling, we need all the (adult) support we can get. Please leave a comment if you so wish!

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.

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 ...
