A Picnic

One way to endure the good strenuousness of home study and home teaching is to alternate rest with labour, and to make time for seasonal diversions.

Yesterday the sun shone and Sir N asked for a Picnic.  Why not ?  So out came the blanket and a picnic was enjoyed !


And then we went to the park where Sir N learned to ....


The face said it all .... what more can I say ???


When last did you have a picnic in your back yard ?

Treasured Moments 1

Do you find yourself falling into a pattern of daily grind, skipping the 'fun' activities because you don't have time or lack energy?

Do creative arts, nature walks, drama, read alouds or spontaneous acts seem only a distant dream in your life?

Yet these Treasured Moments shared with loved ones uplift us, nurture our soul, remind us of the beauty and joy in our lives.

We want Treasured Moments for ourselves, for our children, for our families but how can we make it happen?

... Commitment ... Encouragement ... Support ... Ideas ... Plans.

I invite you to join us every Saturday and share your plans and ideas, your targets and goals and your stories ... your 'Treasured Moments'. In this way we may inspire one another, encourage ourselves and start achieving our dreams.      Hosted by Erin at Seven Little Australians and Counting

My Treasured Moments this week are:
  1. Having my daughters work experience hours recognized.
  2. Enjoying fellowship with two other home school families.
  3. Feeling well after four weeks of being sick.
  4. Listening to my three children laughing and enjoying each other.
  5. Having Sir N ask if we can please go on a picnic and use our picnic blanket and some food.
  6. Coming home to two wonderfully cooked meals by my mom after work :)
  7. Finally ordering my curriculum for the year :)

To join in you are welcome to add your post on Seven Little Australians and Counting using the Mr. Linky form (please link to the individual post) and include a link back to Erins post. If you haven't a blog we would still love to hear your voice, just leave your stories in the comments

Blessings

    I will be back :)

    Hello My friends

    The past two weeks have been rather busy around here.

    Last week Sir N and I were both sick and at the Dr's. I am glad to report that we are both well now.

    This week has been a very busy one as we have had family move in with us and a few other family happenings.

    I am in the process of updating my Sonlight Core and am hoping to place an order with Sonlight with some friends on Friday, so next week we should experience BOX DAY with Sir N!!!

    I can't wait I so enjoy the feeling of new books  .....

    Our cat is also in hospital and that in itself is providing us with new challenges around here.
    So no I have not left my blog forever I will be back.
    See you all next week.
    Blessings
