First Day ~ June

By

Today I would normally be posting on Tuesday Coffee Chat, but today's topic is about any DIY projects we have done recently. With our extra crazy May, including graduating one child from high school and marrying off another one in not one but two weddings which included a family caribbean vacation, the only thing I am doing myself is laundry. We'll catch back up with Leslie at Time Out for Mom next week (but you can jump over there to see what fun projects are going on in the worlds of other ladies).

Although I was absolutely exhausted yesterday to the point of being sick, I did manage to snap some photos of our First Day of June. We had to jump right in to volleyball camp, errands, and a softball game so there was little rest yesterday. Today I am staying in my pjs doing laundry and watching When Calls the Heart on Netflix. I will probably do much of the same tomorrow.

But yesterday ...

Back from vacation.

It was a drizzly 57 degree day, so bean with bacon soup was needed.

Fun mail!

7 whole days with no electronics, so ....

The necessities for my day ... coffee and Tylenol.

This got filed at the courthouse.

Mrs. Werths and I got some groceries.

And she got her new driver's license. (She had forgotten
half of her required documents so her new, very understanding
husband had to drive them to us.) 

I managed to sneak in a couple episodes of When Calls the Heart.

Trying out the new frisbee purchased in Honduras. Always frisbee around here.

Fun new fruit infusion cup I bought at Aldi.

Our doggies missed us, and we missed them!

Softball night dinner.

Best friends rock!

This dog kept running onto the field and chasing the ball.

One of the dads had to rope him and tie him to a pole.

Brynne had an awesome game! She hit a double, had a play at first for
an out, and then caught a pop fly with a double play at first.

Join Nicole at Journey to Josie for more First Day fun!

    Looks like you had a great day! It was chilly and rainy here too. We needed to turn the heat on, grrr. I shared a picture of our thermometer in my first day post.

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 ...
