Weekly Wrap-up

I know that I haven’t been around for a very long time and I apologize for that. I thought that the perfect way to jump back in was to give you a short recap of our life this past week.

Injury

Malachi and Moses hurt their backs at an indoor play area at a local fast food restaurant. Which involved a trip to the clinic and a trip back to the restaurant to report it. They have offered free meals as compensation.

Illness

I think we picked up some germs at the clinic because Moses ended up sick with the flu and the twins ended up sick with bad colds (drippy noses and coughs).

Homeschool

We had a couple of productive days of school this week, but the sickies meant we had a pretty miserable second week back to school.

We have been trying a modified workbox system and a weekly with our homeschooling and it has been working very well. One week we work on Bible, Math, and Science and the next week we work on Bible, English, Spelling, and Reading. As usual, our school schedule is always being tweaked.

Blog Changes Coming

Just a heads up to let you know that there are MAJOR changes coming to the blog AGAIN. The site is being completely redesigned to make it more readable and searchable. I have a fun new look for you and I can’t wait to share it. I am not making any promises about when the new design will be up and running, but it shouldn’t be too long now.

Talk to you all soon.

Weekly Wrap-Up

By on September 4, 2010 in Memes We Love, One Room Schoolhouse

I always find it interesting when I stop and take a look back at the week. This week had a lot going on as you’ll see.

Visiting Nana

We drove over to the nursing home to visit my Nana on Sunday. Had a very nice visit with her. She had me pray with her and we both cried. I don’t believe my Nana has much time left. She is fragile and very thin. Please pray with me that when it is her time she will go peacefully and painlessly.

Indoor Play Place Fun

Went to the indoor play place (after the nursing home) so the kids could play and we could visit with Grandma and Grandpa. The kids loved it. The twins were finally almost big enough to play. I have enough pictures for a post (so watch for it).

Flat Tire

We were going to go visit my sister (after the play place) and discovered that we had a flat tire. After some phoning later in the week we discovered that we can get it replaced with a used one for fairly cheap, but for now it sits.

Art Fun

We did a fun art project this week. I have enough pictures for a post (so watch for it too).

The Airplane Is Still Missing in Alaska

We ask for your continued prayers. Friends of ours were on a plane that went missing in Alaska – FOURTEEN DAYS AGO! You can visit the website that was set up by the family. Alaska Search Update.

My Aunt Is Coming To Victoria

My mom’s sister is coming for the week to spend some time with my Nana.  I am excited to see her again and looking forward to some great conversations and memory making moments.

Sweet Pea and Me

Yesterday Hosanna spent the day nursing and complaining of a sore mouth. She is two so we didn’t know what she meant. Was she teething? Did she have a sore throat? I don’t know what was going on, but she was miserable and wanting to nurse constantly. This morning, I woke up with a sore throat. Ah, now I understand. So, I will nurse little Sweet Pea as much as she needs. (Update: All the little people and big people in the house are now sick with a cold, we are praying it passes quickly).

My Day At the Mob

Today is my day at The M.O.B. Society. Make sure you hop over and read my post They Love The Dirt, But Not The Bath (but not before you leave some comments here, pretty please).

Our Week In Review

By on August 28, 2010 in Memes We Love

First, I want to apologize for not writing much over the last little while. Lots of things have been going on around here.

Airplane Missing in Alaska

We ask for your prayers. Friends of ours were on a plane that went missing in Alaska – SEVEN DAYS AGO! A website has been set up to keep us all informed of the search progress. Alaska Search Update.

Bladder Infection, Oh Joy

I have been really sick with a bladder infection (and delayed going to the doctor because it wasn’t your usual symptoms) and am just now feeling more normal (although normal is subjective with five kids) since getting the antibiotics.

Wheels Again

Our van, the one that has been sitting since last October, is running again. Our housing complex announced they were repainting the lines in the parking lot and any vehicle that was not moved would be towed. Oh fun! Our van has been sitting, parked, with insurance since last October when it died. We used our free towing (through our insurance) and had it towed to a garage to get an estimate. It is a long mixed up story, but the short version is that the van is fixed and drivable now.

Library Time

We visited the library yesterday for the first time in over 2 years! Can you believe that? Homeschoolers who never go to the library? We had a blast and came home with tons of books and videos for the all the kids.

Our Amazing Occupational Therapist

We had our first Occupational Therapy Visit of the year yesterday. Have I told you have how much I love our OT? She is awesome. Our OT is helping us with sensory issues, social skills, fine motor skills, and a host of other things.

Changes To The Site

Sunflower Schoolhouse underwent a few major changes this week (like a theme and layout change) and I hope you will come over and have a look and let me know what you think. I have tons of fun new things coming your way this year.

What changes are happening in your house?
