Pretty Bad

This is pretty bad! I just noticed that I have not posted on my blog since April! Not that many people would notice. LOL!!! I guess I have been pretty busy. Lets see, I have worked on our home school yearbook, which did not turn out anywhere near as nice as we were hoping for, so that’s a do over! I have worked on costumes for our Drama Clubs production of the Lion King and Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. I have attended a home school convention in Orlando, Florida. We took a family road trip to Marshall, Missouri for a family wedding. I did read a great book by Florence Morse Kingsley, “Titus a Comrade of the Cross”. Great book, the story of Titus, one of the other persons on the cross next to Jesus; this historical fiction also retells the story and betrayal of Jesus by Judas. I am currently in Orlando, Florida where my daughters are attending their annual SeaWorld Camp. Only this time, my oldest is attending the sleep away camp. This is the first time, she will be away from me for more than a few days. I hope I can cope!! I know she will be fine and that God will watch over her and keep her safe, I only pray she will room with someone that has her same kindness and values. As a parent, you work so hard to protect and shield her from all the cruelties of the world and the thought of someone trying to destroy what you have instilled in your children for so long is unnerving. I can rest asured that we have given her a strong foundation in her belief in God to make wise choices and to always pray for guidence and wisdom. So I hang fast to one of my favorite verses...Train a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it. -Proverbs 22:6

Pollyanna Our Latest Read Aloud

The girls and I have just finished Pollyanna by: Eleanor H. Porter. This story is about an orphan girl that has been sent to live with her Aunt Polly after her father, (who had been caring for her after her mothers death) dies and she is left with no one else to care for her. Despite her misfortune, she manages to always find "gladness" in everything. Pollyanna quickly turns the town of Harrington into "Glad" Town!
After the girls and I read the book, we borrowed the Walt Disney version of the movie starring Haley Mills from the library. We popped some popcorn and broke out a box of tissues!
A must read and see classic!

Stay tune for our next read aloud, Around The World in Eighty Days! This read aloud will work well with our history unit on the Explorers!
