March 7th-13th

Highlights from this past week include:

*Made paper Underground Railroad lanterns

with our Lemonhead Homeschooling group

After we finished learning about

Westward Expansion in America

we moved on into the historical topics of

the Underground Railroad and the Civil War.

*Spending some MUCH needed time with our

friend-that-are-like-family,

the Nussbaums

We went to the park and then hung out

at their house.

This family is one of those families that

ALL of us get along

AND

our kiddos are all around each other's ages.

We are planning on going to the beach

with them this Summer

and I could NOT be more thrilled!

*Played games with some fun kiddos

at church in our evening

Kid Klubs

Dominoes, Apples to Apples, and a

drawing game

were all on tap for the evening.

Let me tell ya,

I draw one mean ferret!

;0)

*Monday evening we began our Lenten bible study,

The Messiah Mystery

We lit the first candle in our Lenten cross

and sent the kiddos on a

Scavenger Hunt

for the study.

After St. Patty's Day,

we hope to really get our hearts focused on Easter

with several fun activities-

I can't wait!

(If you need ANY motivation or ideas

for how to truly focus your family

during the Lent season,

PLEASE read THIS blog post from

Mustard Seeds.)

*Dealt with a bit of of stomach bug

running through the house

Baby Girl, Jungle Girl, and Super Dad

all came down with it.

This nice thing about this bug is is seems

to only last for 24 hours.

I am knocking on wood

that Little Wild Man and I

do NOT pick it up this weekend!

*Only had a couple of the littles this week,

so schooling for them just consisted of

a few St. Patty's day sheets

*Enjoyed a little Leprechaun Lunch

in between stomach bug cases

*Marveled at the craziness of

East Tennessee Spring weather

Tuesday we were at 75 degrees-

by Wednesday evening we had a light

dusting of SNOW on the ground-

CRAZINESS!!!

*Cleaned, cleaned, CLEANED our bathrooms

in hopes to keep those

stomach bug germs

AWAY!!!
