First Day - August

By

The First Day of August was also my birthday! Since it was on a Saturday we had the whole day to have fun.

Happy Birthday, Mom!

My delivery just happened to come on my birthday, so it was like getting a present!

Lots of new fragrance mists and some hand soap.

My girl wanted to bake me something special on my birthday. She bought a mix from the Amish store.

Rick and the pups lounged together.

Oh, Kyndal and Collin.

Someone woke up looking her age! A shower and makeup should help!

The blueberry muffins and coffee were delish! Thank you, Brynney!!

A decade ago on this day this girl was exactly one week away from making her appearance.

We hit a rain storm on our way to the movies. It ALWAYS rains when we go to the movies!

First movie of the day in Town No. 1.

Minions!

Watch out Pixels, we are coming for you next!

We road tripped to Town No. 2 to see Pixels.

Rick stopped and picked up Kevin at Walmart first. He's hoping he can keep his Wifi running smoothly.

We all met up for dinner at Applebee's.

And then went to see Pixels.

Kyndal bailed on the movie to go home and take care of post-surgical Chloe.

I bought a portable phone charger since my car charger won't work anymore.

And we bought some new games for our library.

Before I went to bed I put in a huge pork roast to slow cook overnight
for a family dinner the next day.

Busy and extremely fun day!!

    Happy birthday! Looks like a GREAT day! Would you believe that I haven't seen ONE movie yet this summer? The kids have gone a couple of times with their Dad...but me? Nada! I wanted to see Inside Out. Is that what it's called? LOL

    I'm really sorry for not wishing you sooner, I meant to (I entered your giveaway) but hope you had a happy birthday. And I can wish that even more sincerely since I was born on August 2.

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...
