So yes if you are my facebook friend- I have already alluded to the post about something that was dropped in our laps by God---- :) It is something we are excited about, but you will get more details soon. Sorry...can't be helped.
So this past week as we were sitting down to eat and were finishing.....Jason says let's make _______
So he got up and got all the ingredients out....and everyone got to measure at least one thing.....
Yes this is Andrew's cheeky face.
So that is part of our crazy lives. Part of our home education. Doing things as and when. We try to have lots of little spontaneous educational things that happen throughout the week. Not just textbooks and quizzes. Those things are ok, but I believe true learning happens when we relax and simply think about life about God in general.
So we were just sitting around and before you knew it we were talking about measurements. Leveling, fractions, mixing, ingredients- what they look and taste like separately and then together.
They were helping each other, and working together. YEAH!!!! Blesses this mommy's heart to see it!
And my husband well this is how he rolls- fun, family loving, awesome food preparer that he is - enjoys passing that on to the kids and they love it too! He is great at having all 8 around helping him out. So glad that they will all know how to cook when they get older a very valuable skill!!!
Even the littles got in the action. Well.....except Joanna- she just hangs out in my arms and looks cute. It's a hard life you know.
So just to be silly while you are all chomping at the bit to hear our upcoming news..............what are we making?
Blog posts coming soon to this blog......the differences between domestic, international, and foster care/adoptions, more crazy young children homeschooling happenings, our big announcement of course, and many random fun happenings of our fun crazy family :)
