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.

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 ...
