GREEN, By Ted Dekker

I chose this book to review for the Thomas Nelson Blogger Reviews. I am a huge fan of the Circle Trilogy, so it was with great excitement that I sat down to read ‘Green’. I won’t recap the story for you, however, I will say that while I enjoyed ‘Green’, I didn’t really feel like [...]

Mites Hockey: Week 6

The Flames took on the Bruins this week, and what an exciting game it was!  The game ended in a tie (7 – 7).  My camera battery died, so no pictures this week.  Cam had a few great plays (unfortunately, none ended up in goals), and he and his linemate were really clicking! Ty is [...]

Week 10: The Study of Life

One of the activities that inspired our “Animal Unit Study” was the Turtle bread.  I ran across this recipe online, and when I saw how cute it was, I immediately started planning for the animal unit study.  We took a bit of a shortcut with the recipe, in that, we bought bread dough from the [...]

Mites Hockey: Week 4/5

I keep forgetting to update the progress of the boys’ season!  Let’s see…since I last posted, we’ve lost one, won one, and tied one.  So far, their season is better than the Florida Panthers…of course, that’s not saying much, is it? Here are some pictures: I’ll have more pictures up soon.

39 and Holding

Not really.  LOL  I’m officially 39, but I certainly don’t plan on holding at 39!  If I had to pick an age to hold at, it would have been 30!  I had a GREAT birthday this year!!  My family is just wonderful. Scott took me fishing, while Jess gave the boys their lessons for the [...]

Week 9: Gypsies in the Palace

What a fun week!  Let’s see…we went on a really cool field trip, had a substitute teacher, and made a yummy treat. Most of this post will be of pictures.  I’ll describe what happened in the caption and/or along the way.  Ready?  Here we go… On Saturday, we decorated pumpkins.  I purchased those foam pumpkins [...]

Week 8: “Roads? Where We’re Going We Don’t Need Roads.”*

*Dr Emmet Brown – Back to the Future Every now and then I go through these phases where I ascribe movie quotes to real-life events.  It’s one of those weird, quirky things about me.    The movie quote I really wanted to use for this week was, “I think we’re gonna need a bigger boat”, [...]

Week 7: “That’s One Small Step for Man…”

I had tons of pictures from this week. Pictures of the boys working on their Apollo 11 crafts and lapbooks. Pictures of the boys making the ‘Snack of the Week’ (S’mores). Pictures of the boys interacting with their DVD lessons. But on Friday, in my attempt to free up some space on my SD card, [...]

Mites Hockey: Week 3

Flames vs. Ducks Today’s game was filled with action and excitement! While the Flames didn’t win this one (final score: 8 – 9), the kids put forth a lot of effort. Ty did a little better today, but he’s still learning the game and figuring out where he’s supposed to be. Cam had an assist [...]
