14, 15, 16, and 17....

Such a busy week of finishing up school so that we can be off the entire week of Giving Thanks....and all of our nights being filled with activities left me with not a lot of face time with blogging.
Here goes....
14th....thankful for God taking hold of us and convicting us to homeschool. It was a rough day in our school and one where I needed to remind myself constantly why we homeschool. Thankful for fellow hs friends who listen and offer advice when you just don't know how to get through to that sweet child.
15th....thankful today for my God who answers prayer and shows me EXACTLY why we homeschool. It was such a wonderful day in our school. Day full of learning for the kids, but also for me.
Also, thankful today for American Heritage Girls. It has been such a blessing to Molly, but also for me. To be surrounded by friends, both Molly and myself...we are blessed. Molly earned 4 patches tonight and her joint award badge. I'm so proud of her...I can't wait to see what AHG has in store for her in the coming years.
16th...thankful today for a full day's work and kids that go with flow...woke at 5 am and did some grocery shopping at Meijer. Got back just in time to take Turner to work... on the way home from dropping daddy off at work we stopped at Kroger for a few things that I didn't get earlier. (Also, got the kids some donuts...probably helped with the whole go with the flow thing)...returned home to get tests and other works taken care of before gymnastics. Went to gymnastics. Watched Maggie one on one with her teacher while the other 2 worked on states and capitals. Then we headed off to 2 libraries, both possessing booms we need in the final 3 weeks of the semester. Afterwards, stopped at Papa Johns for our P.J. appreciation day pizza. Finally, headed home to finish school up for 9 days and get ready for the dinner at church later that evening. All was silent while we scarfed down our pizza. There wasn't a crumb remaining...we were starving...the girls even ate their crust!
We ended our evening with dinner at church and meeting new people.
Blessed, indeed.
17th...thankful today for good friends...had friends over for dinner tonight. Got to just sit and chat while the kids played...and I snuggled the sweet five week old :)
Thank you, Jesus.
