What We Learned Today
Community Service
God wants us to reach out to people in need:
Today we took Susan, my old college friend, her favorite meal for her 40th birthday. The boys wrote a Jesus rap and put on a show for her. Then they did some magic tricks and we ate cake and sang happy birthday.
HAPPY 40th Susan!!!!
Science
That paper and plastic float!
Today Timmy and Grace spent the afternoon in their bathing suits in the bathtubs with homemade paper boats Joey made at McDonald’s happy meal boxes. Then after some errands, Grace decided to put a straw sail on a blow up boat and Timmy made a boat out of tape. He was so excited when he discover his boat made out of tape could float. Then he experimented with pieces of paper and that floated as well.
Home Economics
Cooking with kids doesn’t actually mean YOU to cook with kids!
I let my babysitter make cookies with the kids today, and I got to reap the yummy benefits, though I really shouldn’t have!
Procrastination and Concentration
That my oldest son can spend four hours in his room doing his school work and still not get everything done!
What I learned
That sometimes the best homeschool days are when you’re not really doing school at all! And my homeschool helper/babysitter gives me a much needed break! Thanks, Leah!
Wish I could have more days like this.
