Homeschool science

Okay, so don't tell my girls but I really don't like science. I love history and English....science?? not so much! So today we have an issue on our street with the water. The water company is out and they are digging up the street with jackhammers and making lots of noise. The girls are so interested in what they are doing. They are sitting in the front yard, finishing math under a blanket while watching the local water company work. That's science....isn't it? Can't we find some scientific category to put this in? Surely we can!! I love homeschooling...ya wanna know why? As I type this, my 8 and 11 year old are snuggled under a blanket together watching a jackhammer and talking a mile a minute. You just can't get this time back and I am so glad they are spending it together and with me.



We had a great Thanksgiving with my mom and dad. We packed as much as we could into one weekend to make the most of Mimi and Grandy being here. So on Thursday we celebrated Thanksgiving, Friday we decorated for Christmas, and Saturday we had a piano/harp recital and Emily's birthday party. Pretty good for a 3 day period, huh? But Mimi and Grandy were here for all of it and that was the important thing!



We haven't heard anything new with Anna. Please keep praying that we can travel in a timely manner. I just hate the thought of her spending a cold winter in an orphanage when we have a warm bed we would love to be sharing. Specifically, pray that our letter of approval comes by the end of the year. That is what we are hoping for. As of today we have waited 36 days...and that is not long compared to the wait that many experience. But still, for a mama, its a long time.
Enjoy your Tuesday! I'll update later about our "science lesson" for today! : )
