Feeding Fairies

Well miss Meri Ellis has a new hobby....catching and feeding fairies!  Did you know that they eat apples and water and that they need milk so they won't get sick.  If you see glitter there has been a fairy.  Also if you hear a baby laugh a fairy is born!  Merideth is convinced of all this!!  She is a lot of fun!

Better late than never to post this one!

I think it would be really easy to fall back into the terrible routine of "just barely" doing school.  By that I mean doing "just enough" to count as school.  Not truley education my precious children.  I have not and am not doing that.  This is my JOB and I love it!  ...well most days!  Somedays it would be nice to not have a job and just drink coffee and sew!  Which leads me to I am getting that set up today!!  OH HAPPY DAY to have the sewing room/closet again!

We are going into week 4 this week.  I still have not begun foreign language or spelling for Dale.  I am not worried about those two, well maybe spelling.  We have been consistent in getting it all done otherwise and that is good.  I am ordering his spelling today.  Living here makes it hard just because there are no education stores.  But I have the internet! 

Meri Ellis is doing good.  She falls into the routine of, "I can't do this" and whines...OH JESUS HELP ME!  She needs me to be right by her the entire time she does school.  And that is different than Dale.  He is pretty independant at his work.  Oh she is a toot!  LOVE HER!

I was talking with a precious friend last week about being able to share and be real with others.  It seems to me that secrets or trials love the dark and it would be best to bring them to the LIGHT!  So I am gonna be real here.  (I think I have been mostly!)  Here are some prayer requests!
*Me and food, health overall and getting to the gym!
*School for kids
*Pray we can get into a routine!
*Godly friendships for all!

Stephen's dream shop is almost done!  It is a 30x50 and I pray he doesn't move out there!!

Gotta go!!  LOVE YOU READER!

week 8

YAY....week 8 sounds so great!  We have covered most of North America and will head on down to South America when we begin week 9.  The schedule is working out so well, we are going to take 2 weeks off then begin again!  During the 2 weeks off we are going to travel.  I am so excited!  We are going to Albuquerque for the hot air balloon festival.  We will be back for the weekend then we are going to Texas to see our family.  Can't wait!!  It will be a quick trick since we live closer and can go visit more often!

Meri Ellis is doing so wonderful with school and piano.  We are so proud of her.  She is reading so great and is really in love with books just like I am!  I can't believe we let her but she can drive a small motorcycle too!  I think she prefers the 4 wheeler though!!

Dale is great too.  He is enjoying the country life by catching spiders, tarantulas and other sorts of bugs!  He had a snake but it died, THANK YOU LORD!  He enjoys working on his fort and just being outside.  He is fascinated with WWII now and is so knowledgeable too!  He and his Papa have enjoyed watching and reading commentaries about the different battles and air craft!

I better run, Meri Ellis has piano and we need to head to town!!
