Thank you Grandma & Gramps!

The kids loved their first taste of an English Easter egg! Tayo bit into hers just like an apple - it was hilarious, I wish I had a picture of that!!!

New bible study trial.

I have been looking around for a bible study to use with the s in our school time and not found anything, so for now I think that God is leading me to work on this myself. Instead of using a pre-written bible study curriculum I am going to see how well I can do by myself. I have decided to take a topic and explore it with the s for a week or more as needed.
The first topic I am undertaking is prayer and we will be using The Lord's Prayer as a guide. This topic will take approx two weeks as I am going to break The Lord's Prayer down line by line and examine each one.
I am adding my plan here as I do love coming upon other's ideas when on line and you never know - some one else might be able to use it! This is week one, I'll post an update on how it is going towards the end of the week and next week's plan once I have written it!

Our Easter Party!

Our Homeschool group "The Adventure Club" had an Easter Party toady at a local park. We had a great time finding eggs, playing and eating candy!

A great time was had by all! I think we may be eating the candy all week!

Fun with the Grandparents

We all had such a great time the past two weeks. My Mum and Dad were here with us and it always goes so quickly. We spent lots of time outside and the weather held up wonderfully (until the tornadoes on the day they went home that is!)

Here are a few pictures of our time together:

Tayo reading with Granddad!

Lola and Grandma worked on writing a story during the two weeks. Can't wait to read the finished thing!

Feeding the ducks!

This was the girls' position basically the whole two weeks - right in between Grandma and Gramps!

I just had to add a picture of the tornado sky we had the day they were flying out of town!

We all can't wait to be living close to each other, two visits a year just aren't enough!

Here we are!

I thought I'd add some pictures to start with, seeing as that is one of the main reasons I have decided to switch my blog over from Word Press. I'll be back soon once I've figured out how exactly Blogger works!
