Weekly Wrap Up... Another Whirl Wind ;)

In our life this week... It was another wild and fun week here. I know that in a few weeks time when things slow down I will be having a kiddo that is bored and a Mama that is itching to do something. So for now we will be thankful we have lots of fun things going on. ;) (even if Mama is wore out ;-)) We went to a library event, superhero class, church, praise practice and cub scouts. Today we will get to spend some time with Nana for lunch. ;) Fun Friday is on!

In our homeschool this week... Although we were busy we still had some great days in a row of solid progress in school work. It's one of those things that once we get our routine in the mornings going it's hard to do anything in the morning. That is because I know it will break our progress and it's hard to get back on routine. So we had some great math days, some fun learning about rays and progressing to sharks, library fun and some great reading progress. I am personally loving the phonics system we are reviewing right now and can't wait to share it with you. We are also reviewing some bible programs which are fun and some other items I'll be bringing your way soon.

Places we're going and people we're seeing... We had a fun day at the library with our homeschool buddies making May baskets. We also had a wonderful time meeting new friends last Friday for a park day. Of course it was really hot and here's where he hides when it's hot:


We're Reading... We started the 39 Clues series this past week and we are on book 4 now. We have been listening to them in the car and this is a new hit with us. My kiddo's tastes are progressing as he is growing. It is both a good thing and a sad thing for Mama. He's growing up way to fast.

I'm grateful for... My son. He is such a blessing to me. I was so proud of him yesterday as he stood in front of his praise and dance team practice to say the prayer. He volunteered and is showing more maturity and growth in Christ. I love seeing his love for our Lord and sometimes wish I had his boldness.

I'm cooking... not a whole lot this week due to all the running. Next week I hope to get some new recipes in the kitchen.

I'm praying for...My kiddo. He will be having allergy testing done on the 9th of May and he can not take his allergy meds before then. He is already sneezing more and asked me for his nose spray yesterday. Hopefully the rain we have had will keep the allergens down as much as possible. Please be in prayer for him that it doesn't get too bad and that the testing won't be too hard for him. He's been through a lot this year with surgery and now this. There may be more to come with his tonsils so please remember him in prayer if you can.

A photo of the week... He was super excited he got to ride his four wheeler this weekend...

  2. Loved your update. Saying a prayer now. My 4-year-old has enlarged tonsils too. Her speech teacher thinks they are affecting her speech progress and the snoring is bad too. Need to see an ENT soon. Have a blessed weekend!

  3. It's no fun to get tonsils out. My oldest had his removed when he was 10 1/2 and it was a long 3-4 weeks of healing for him. But when he was healed, it made a HUGE HUGE difference in his breathing and ability to even run and play. The ENT said he was "breathing through a straw" so having the surgery made being a kid so much easier.
