Just a moment, in the houseful.....

The other day I was down rocking my baby, we caught the worst cold and flu. I think we are finally all over it, however the cough is still lingering. As I was sitting there cuddling my little ones.....

I heard this shrieking

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!SCREAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Coming from not one, but TWO teenage girls.
As mom's of teenage girls know there's a difference between yells of drama and yells that matter!!!! (Wait most mom's of little toddlers know this too!) This was a Yell THAT MATTERED! As I was getting up, the next thing I heard was that pitter-patter of running feet. Then......
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! a  LAUGH,!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!                         
        A LAUGH SO LOUD
I wondered what was worst, the Yell or the Laugh?

Ok, now I am confused. Wait is it the flu!?!?!

Next I hear a herd of wild elephants coming down my stairs,
NO WAIT!!!! That would be a herd of kids, lead by those TWO Teenage girls!

LAUGHING HYSTERICALLY!!!!!

All this mom can think is... ???????????????

Do you know what BRAVE just did? (my 5 year old, wild man!) Virtue, The oldest of the TWO Teenage Girls asked!
Ummmm NO?!? Said I.
He just chased us around upstairs, with a SPIDER! NO A DEAD SPIDER!!!!!

I peer at the stairway, where the little BRAVE is standing, with a slight smirk on his face. And say you did?

YES!!!! Was his reply, and his smirk became the biggest, mischievous smile I've seen in awhile from my Brave Boy! He turned and ran back up the stairs to tell HIS TALE, to his now captive audience. (maybe I should have intervened right here, as his captive audience consisted of his two younger already plenty mischievous littler brothers, Gallant and Sprout! Though I think I was still shocked!!)

Obviously my shocked look told the TWO Teenage girls, I needed more information-- and quickly!
Apparently Virtue was cleaning her room, and found a spider on her sock. Virtue tends to be somewhat dramatic when it comes to finding spiders and bugs and well creepy things. She's trained her younger brothers well, when she says get it..... that's exactly what they do! Brave heard the call, and came running to her rescue. However his Knightly Virtues seemed to end there, as right after he killed the little critter, he got his "great" plan. He picked up the dead spider, and started chasing his sisters around the upstairs!!!!

All I could say when it was all over and done, was....
BRAVE...... we don't kill anything unless Virtue or Charity tell us to, right? No mom, I know!
OK........ So was that fun, tormenting your older sisters!?! (I know not the best Mommy Moment!!) YES!!!!  (looking at his TWO Teenage Sisters) Well it's probably the only way HE can get you two back!!!!!

Aahhhh!! These are THE MOMENTS!!!! The Moments I'll cherish forever, the moments I know I will come to miss!!!!!!

Simple Morning Time Geography, for the whole family.....

In our Morning Time we will be reading some fun and educational picture books to begin our family geography lessons. Yes I'm just starting this now, in March.... sometimes that happens. We've been studying geography in both our Good and the Beautiful Language Arts, and also our Mystery of History Lessons, so I don't actually feel bad about this! First up, for our World Geography.  I decided to start with a general world geography book. I chose  Somewhere in the World Right Now by Stacey Schuett.  This book is alot of fun. It discusses different geographical areas, showing some amazing pictures. It mostly talks about the time zones and international date line. I thought that would be a nice introduction, and something we haven't really discussed a lot. We started our week off with this beauty, on Monday. After we finished our morning time, and headed to our school room. You see, we meet on our couches, in our family room for a lot ...

Our Morning Devotional..hopefully with more clarity!

I received a comment/question about our devotional time, Tracy would like me to give more details about our devotional time. {WARNING~ this post has become extremely LONG!!!} First off before I start into all that I'd just like to say I am so glad Tracy decided to comment, and especially with a question!! The main and only reason I blog is to inspire others, help others, and well sometimes it's as close as I get to adult conversation! I noticed that as of right now {as I right this} I have had 787 visitors to my blog... and only 2 people who have commented! The other one is my O' So kind SIL!! Please feel free to comment...because as it says on the Right Sidebar...I LOVE Comments!!! I also want to clarify and answer any questions that I might have stirred in your heads with my thoughts!!! So on with the Question.... We have ALWAYS had devotional time... it's changed and grown with our family. It's what we, Papa Bear and I see as the things our children need. Just be...

I am JUMPING OFF THE SHIP!!! So to speak...

What does that mean!??! What ship are you jumping from? Where are you jumping to? How are you planning on jumping?? Well let me tell you.... I am jumping into the great deep, dark and "unknown" world, I am planning on jumping Titanic style, Spread Eagle that is!!! No seriously folks, I have decided that for our upcoming curriculum, we are going to jump into the area of {dare I even say it??} Traditional Christian TEXTBOOKS!!!! {I can hear you all moan, and groan and say OH NO!!!!} Yes TEXTBOOK, tends to be a "bad" word in the homeschool world. It's one of those 3-letter words, okay so it's actually an Eight-letter word. I am not sure why TEXTBOOKS have such a bad name to homeschoolers. Actually I do, it has to do with the dumbing down of America. It has to do with short tidbits of information crammed into a lesson, bits and pieces of history... never knowing the whole thing. HOWEVER, you must also admit, that there are NOW so many choices in TEXTBO...
