After a feeding she dozed through her burps and stayed put.
School continued, albeit much less aggressively for a few minutes.
Yeah – that’s a cupcake on her bottom. Stewart noted, “Mom, I thought you didn’t like it when people had writing on their bottoms.” I decided that for the under 12 months crowd it is ok.
For the last few years we’ve been doing Daddy-led Sunday school at home. Why? Enh – a bunch of reasons. But it works for the most part. We decided to do some fun-geared review. Two teams. Two dry erase boards. A few questions.
Stewart and Tabitha won the first round naming the 12 disciples the most quickly. Both teams got stuck on one each. We let them use a LIFELINE.
They then won the second round naming the 12 sons of Jacob.
Marie and Nigel won the third round naming the judges from judges. They should have gotten extra points for naming them in order, but I didn’t think about that at the time.
Then all points were forgotten and laughter ensued as we played Bible story charades. Marie and Nigel acted out Abraham offering Isaac as a sacrifice. Stewart and Tabitha acted out Daniel being found praying and then being thrown into the lion’s den. They decided they’d like to work together to make one up for Mom to guess. That became two. First one was hysterical as Tabitha ran into a “tower” and threw down a pillow on Nigel. He pantomimed something to Stewart and Stewart slew him. (I couldn’t even catch my breath from laughter to answer before Tab yelled out, “I threw a millstone!!”) Judges 9:53 – Abimelek is hit by a millstone but demands that his armor-bearer kills him so he doesn’t die at the hand of a woman.
Next Nigel baptized Tabitha and then Marie and Stewart came and grabbed him. Stewart then cut off his head.
John and the big four were at soccer practice.
Johanna was doing her quiet time.
I could have been cleaning the house.
But instead I played photographer.

Question: How does a polar bear’s black skin help to keep it warm?
Hypothesis: “It soaks up the hotness from the sun.”
Ice in plastic bag inside socks – one white, one black.
On cookie sheet in the sun.
Young scientist predicts the ice in the black sock will melt quicker.
Yeah… just barely.
😉 But we got a lab report out of it.
Marie and Tabitha are studying bugs (insects) for science. Why? Because the ABeka book I bought to read to them to satisfy our science requirement has bugs as their second unit. Had I known this…
ANY Hoo – – – –
We read about bugs and what makes them a bug. We also read about their body sections. I decided to do a art/science-two-fer and we made bugs. I had enough Styrofoam to let Hanny in on the action.
I feel like I’ve missed the first five months
of her life in a blur of sleep deprivation.
She is delightful.
Not to mention, BEAUTIFUL.
