Spring Cleaning

Spring Break = Spring Cleaning. Okay, not so much as Christmas Break cleaning. Actually, I mainly have homework to catch up on. However, Saturday was devoted to laundry and cleaning to clear the path for some of the other things that need to get done. Interested in my long to do list for this week?

Will I get it all done?? I hope so. Jordan complained about my telling them to work on their room or help with some of the cleaning today by saying, "That's not fair! It's Spring Break and we want to play!" Let's just say, I didn't respond with, "Oh, okay. You're right. Go have fun, dear!" She did help make the green jello to celebrate St. Patrick's Day, but it was Hailey who really jumped in and wanted to help. She helped me mop and then helped Greg outside. Kudos to Hailey!

"I'm still not tired, Mommy. I have lots of energy left!"

VBS Family Night

We had an amusement park atmosphere for family night of VBS. First the kids sang a few songs from VBS and then Brother Bob presented the gospel to the parents. Then we headed in for inflatables, balloon creatures, face painting, crafts, cotton candy, popcorn, and pickles! The girls had a blast. They missed the pony rides, but were grateful that the ponies stayed home and didn't get drenched in the total downpour right before the event! Practicing while waiting on the other kids to arrive. A - Admit to God that you're a sinner and repent. B - Believe that Jesus is God's own son. C - Confess your faith in Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord. It's the ride of your life when you dare to believe in Jesus Christ!!

Vocabulary Words

After report cards came back, we realized that it might be a good idea to study for the vocabulary test instead of just the spelling words. Now we're snapping a picture on Wednesdays of the vocabulary and taking pre-test on it too. Just making sure we can read the definitions is helping a lot. Seeing lots more 100s on the test now.

Traveling

I'm amazed at how much we drive. I took this picture leaving school today. Wasn't it just a year or two ago that I took the picture of the odometer at 12345? We actually travel less than we used to. Monday and Tuesday is normally just to Elgin and back home. Wednesdays have us driving to school, Lawton, and then to home. The same thing happens on Thursday for gymnastics, piano, and dance. On Friday we just go to school and back home. Then on Sunday we go to church in Lawton. To some people that is a lot of driving. It doesn't really seem like it to me. But I guess the odometer doesn't lie.
