Good Day!

Today was a good day.

Nothing special really happened.

Just a day where it was consistently good from the beginning to the end.

I love that we've chosen to homeschool.

I love that I have time to teach my children

instead of constantly (and only) disciplining them.

I love that I have time to spend with each of my girls,

individually,

every.single.day.

I love that I can see the fruits of our labor

already.

And it encourages me to keep on.

 

Today we woke up to much cooler temperatures.

We sat on our screened-in porch,

Jake and I drank our coffee

and we did family devotions together

with the girls.

I love hearing my sweet ones pray

and memorizing scripture

in that sacred time.

The girls have already learned their scripture for this week...

and its only Monday!

 

We decided that since the day was so refreshing and cool,

we just had to do school outdoors.

I gathered the supplies

and together we headed to the picnic bench underneath

the pecan tree.

We had a lesson on nature and our 5 senses.

Then we incorporated Art into it with our paints.

The girls giggled and grinned

and I just love listening to their chatter and silly talk

as they work.

 

The day was just too perfect to eat inside

so we had a hot dog picnic outside!

 

Continuing our Nature lesson,

look who joined us for lunch!

Crista laughed because it tickled her

as it inched all the way up her arm.

 

After Crista finished up her studies

and Addie Grace napped,

we headed to the park

with some great friends!

The girls played for 2 hours

and just enjoyed the freedom that

our new life's choice brings!

 

Today was a great day!

And I'm looking forward to many many more!!
