Monday night was Keepers and Contenders, which is a fun club we do once a month for Daddies and sons and Moms and daughters. One of my sweet friends from church, Christy, volunteered her time to come and show the older girls group how to make chenille. They had a great time learning this fun skill. Anna finished her pillow Tuesday. Thanks Christy and girls for all your help! When I can find the camera, I will show Anna's cute pillow. Claire's group did candles and they smell wonderful.
Tuesday, Anna and I went to Walgreens and Kroger armed with coupons for a quick power shop. I got 4 bottles of shampoo free as well as some Tylenol. At Kroger, I was able to get 10 bags of meatballs and for 89 cents each and with each bag I got a free box or bag of pasta!! Great deal!
Thanks Penny! I always get free soap at Kroger also.
Wednesday, Mom came and I had an 'in person' session with my online class to try and help them a little :~ I enjoyed being in front of a class again after 10 years of being home with the kiddos. Teaching a college class certainly is a lot easier than raising children, too!
Thursday, we had CHOICE, where Anna is taking Physics, Money Management and Fitness and Ben and Claire are taking art, science lab and crafts. Then off to choir. Anita, Kim and I had a good time of fellowship while the kids did their Thurs. afternoon thing.
Friday was coop and it was fun as usual. We finished filming our Lewis and Clark DVD, and made possible bags and reviewed the states with Anna's group while Ben's, Claire's and John's group made volcanoes and other fun projects such as smoothies and snow cones :)
After lunch we had Angela, who lived in Hawaii, teach us a hula dance. It was fun as well!
Friday night I pulled an "all nighter" with my KONOS friends. We stayed out planning at HBC until 4am!!! Scandalous! It was really a fun night of laughing(55 calories) , crying and encouraging each other in the Lord.
Saturday, after sleeping rather late, I picked up Anna from Mom and we all went to Anita's for a farewell party for the Brocks. They are such a great family and we will all miss them terribly!
Sunday afternoon we headed to the Duley's and had a wonderful time of food and fellowship.
I am always amazed by this young couple's wisdom and walk with our Great God. They always encourage me greatly.
We are planning to school Mon., have company Tues. and Wed. and on Thurs. I have to do a breakfast and shopping trip with some ladies from Scott's work, and hopefully we can do school again on Fri.
I am thankful each day for all that the Lord is teaching me as I study His word and try to stay in a constant state of prayer to Him. Our church is doing a book study together called Salvation in Full Color, and it is proving to be sooo helpful and convicting. I am so thankful for the teaching and guiding of the Holy Spirit and the more I learn the more I realize how foolish and blind I have been and still am in so many ways!!! We are so needy!
You had a busy, busy week. I have got to learn about the shopping with coupons & "free" stuff. Can you teach me? What class are you teaching - "online"?
