Fall


Wow it's been a while since I've last posted something. We've just been so busy with homeschooling and being pregnant. With October coming to an end we've got lots and lots to do.

Just yesterday we were hanging out with our Park friends. A nice little Halloween bash at the park. We had a nice potluck and some trick or treating. Had such a nice fun day at the park seeing old friends and making new ones. The only bad thing was the weather. It was way too hot for me. I was in jeans and sweating like a little piggy. :P Jay and Bee enjoyed all their little goodies that they received.

Here's a pic of Bee playing with some faux vampire teeth. :)

Jay and Bee are both excited about being big brothers. Bee likes to blow raspberries on my belly. He also likes to yell at his unborn brother telling him to, "WAKE UP!" hehe :) Some mornings I get woken up by them lifting my shirt to try to listen to what the baby is doing. They are going to be good big brothers. I can see them smothering him with hugs and kisses. :) Jay likes to take part in being Daddy's little reporter... He wont let me have any coffee. He's going to tell on me if I drink any. :D I think its so funny and cute. So now I can only have hot coco in the mornings.

Homeschooling- It's been going so well. We are starting to read already and learning so much. I've started the boys on lapbooking. A creative way to do unit studies. They are really learning from it. I'm having fun using all my scrapbooking toys. We read Ten Apples Up On Top by Dr. Seuss. Broke it down and extrapolated whatever material we could and put it in a lapbook. We had fun coloring apples and counting. Made a graph and learned the parts of an apple. We made some sequence cards showing how an apple tree grows. This was our first lapbook and its worked so well for all of us. I think we will continue to make lapbooks since we're all benefiting from it so much. :)

We are blessed!! God has blessed us abundantly!! I'm so thankful for all that we've been given. I hope to not grumble when times are not the best because I know that our situation is better than most. :) Have an awesome Fall season!! :)

This is a Blog of my Christian walk as a Homeschooling Housewife. A young mother of 3 rambunctious boy, they are gifts from God. "Behold, children are a gift of the LORD, The fruit of the womb is a reward. Like arrows in the hand of a warrior, so are the children of one's youth. How blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them; They will not be ashamed when they speak with their enemies in the gate." Ps 127:3-5
