Get away...MMMMMmmmmmMMMMMmmm

Here is a friend of a friends blog, with a give away. I love Kitchen play for my kiddos, then there is less mess in my kitchen:-) http://stevenandersonfamily.blogspot.com/
Here is my Anna-Banana playing with her set of felt fun, that my mom made for her birthday.

Home School! Are you crazy?

Well I think that I have become crazy:-) I sometimes get down when I am having a bad day, and my oh my does Satan put thoughts in my head. Things like: why home school anyway, you have a Christian school at your church? People will be so glad you put 'em in. You get so frusterated with them, it would be better if they were gone and not home. You are not smart enough. They aren't learning enough, or the right way. They need the social interaction... AND ON AND ON AND ON!!!!
Some times I give into these thoughts and try to reason with my husband in my conversation in my mind. I argue with myself in my head and even at times start to bring it up to my Dear Hubby. I am so glad that he is set in what he wants, because I know so much of my back and forth is because of my emotionalness (is that even a word?).
I am writing this now to keep myself from this battle! I am "Blogging it out" so to speak! God called my hubby to lead our family and his leading is that we should train our kids and teach them in our home. I have my good days that I enoy it and wouldn't want it any other way, then days like today when I think my wacko thoughts. So I write this to ask for prayer, and to possibly be an encouragement to others that may think "am I the only one who gets this way?"!!!! I remember Mrs. Maxwell speaking about this very subject at their conference last year. She told how she even went so far as to call the Chirstian school and get the price. When her hubby came home and she "shared" what the price was, he said he would just homeschool them at night. That if she could just baby-sit them during the day, then he would teach. Can you imagine?! I have to remind myself of this more often.
Hope that all that read this will share what helps them.

Time for Something New

Wow, that was the most comments I have ever gotten on a blog! Enough with that.

Tim, is going to go on two business trips in January. I am excited for him to be able to do this, and will enjoy the extra income. (school books for next year, yeah) He is excited about going to, great things are happening for him at his work. God has really blessed us with his stable job.

Timmy, is doing so well in school now. It is so nice that he can read, what little sponges they are. It really made me think how smart kids are, they learn so much in such a short time. He is now a Camo belt in Karate. (He is definately a home-schooler now) ;0) He was so excited about that belt, and did so good testing.

Kaitlynne, picked up reading so quickly. She is reading so much, and is a good reader. I am so amazed! She is becoming such a sweet little girl, and a great big sister. She has a way with Lydia that no one else does. She can get her to stop crying sometimes when Ican't. She holds her too, which is so helpful when I am feeding Kaleb and can't. It is now a little game, for Lydia to sit on her sisters lap.

Kristianna, what a ball of energy. She is growing up so fast, wanting to do "school time". She is a goofy girl that is loving being able to be a helper to Kaleb. She loves to give him his pacy, hold him, and wrap him for me. She is so calm when he is fussy, something I never though was possible Anna calm?!?! She is such a ham. Today at church she came walking out of the Nursery when I was getting ready to feed Kaleb. I asked her what she was doing, she looks up and says " I am sneaking out here"! Such a GOOBER:0)

Lydia, is starting to be more of a toddler and not such a baby:0( So bitter-sweet. She loved her "Kayuh" and all animals are now "dog"s. She loves animals, dogs, more than any of our others kiddos. She is a little follower of her sibblings, wish she could dicern and only copy when they are good.

Kaleb, is rolling everywhere. Talking up a storm of baby talk, and grabbing toys and putting 'em in his mouth. He is a happy, "mellow-jello" baby. I am so blessed to have a sweet calm baby. It seems like everyother baby has been this way, so hopefully the Lord gives a bigger gap this time around:0)

Me, well I am starting to adjust to regular hormones. At least a little bit, though I have been way more weepy, than ever. I just reminisce about things and could cry a river.:0) I am so excited about some new happenings in our family.....

God has given us so much to be Thankful for, we are so blessed. I am so Thankful for the life that I am able to live, helping the one who He chose for me, caring for the little BLESSINGS that He blessed us with, serving the Lord. I pray that I can be what He wants me to be. Today in Sunday School, my teacher was talking about doing what we know is right. "doing right is doing what you know is right (because what the Bible says) not what others tell you is right, or what you think is right". I think is what He said. It was really good! I am really enjoying this new Sunday School class!

I read other blogs and I love their thought on the issue, so thought I would share them with anyone who'd like to read them. Not for a debate, but for a blessing:0)
