Goodness Gracious We've Been Busy!

The last 2 weeks have really been a challenge for us with so much party preparation and vacation, but we have managed to do some really fun things together. Katie and I are completely off schedule or I should say..out of our routine. I am hoping to get back on track. Tomorrow will be another fun and crazy day though so, we will just have to see. This is "G" week.

Our memory verse is "God is our refuge and strength, an ever present help in trouble." Psalm 46:1

Katie has learned the first 5 verses, but not last week's yet. It was a long one, but I confident that it is planted deep in her heart. I pray everyday that God's word will sink deep in her heart and that when she is older the verses will come naturally to her. She is a precious child and I cherish the role I have as her mom. What a great responsibility that God has given to me!

We started BSF this past week. I am absolutely thrilled! I have dreamt for years that one day I would take my child to BSF. Bible Study Fellowship is a fairly academic bible study with a four fold measure of learning. My favorite part right now (as mom) is that Katie is learning the same lesson that I am each week. WOW! Wednesday was our Bible lesson day (which I planned) and now she gets to go to her own class. Her and I will still be reading her Bible with her and learning verses, but she will now be going to BSF.

Our Art activity this week will be glitter glue. Oooh fun!

I have not decided on a recipe yet because our week is a little mixed up. I am thinking something granola?!?!

For science we will play with gravity. FUN!

This weekend we are going to Grammy and Pop Pop's house for Grammy's birthday! We have 2 more weeks of busy and then things should slow down a bit...until the holidays begin.

Have fun this week and check back later. I will update again this week!

Freedom to be Flexible

Tomorrow....... I am going to continue with the letter "F". We had so much fun last week at Disney we didn't really get much school done. Katie didn't have an opportunity to do all the "F" activities that we could do.....so I will do them this week. That is a beautiful aspect to homeschooling your children; you can be flexible. Katie got a fossil kit last week so I think we may make some fossils. We are also preparing for her third birthday party this weekend.....so we will be doing plenty of baking.

That memory verse was a long one so an extra week on that should do us both some good.

Have a great week!

Fabulous French Toast and Fruit

Mmmmm.....Fantastic Fruity French Toast!

First thing this morning we went for a walk/jog. We showered and went straight to making our breakfast....french toast! This is not a new recipe for us, but usually I don't have Katie helping me.

Katie helped me get everything we need to make our recipe.

You need one egg.....

and a teaspoon of vanilla will add a little more flavor.

We used 1 cup of milk and a dash of cinnamon.

Mix everything in a medium bowl.

Dip each piece of bread in the mixture and place in frying pan. I also put some butter in the pan. Repeat until you have all the toast you need to feed your group or when you run out of the liquid mixture. We only made 4 pieces of toast. So you may need to double the recipe if you plan to feed the whole family!

Sprinkle the French Toast with powdered sugar (aka: fairy dust) and add some fruit!

Then ENJOY!!!!
