A better week so far ...

Well, the big teen is still sick and the doctor had to put him on higher level meds than I like to see him on but something had to give.  Since he has a stiff chest wall and asthma, it is important that his lungs can be at their best before flu season hits.  Now that he is feeling a bit better, he got to do some archery this evening at out local archery range.  Here he is getting ready to release.  He really enjoys archery and is getting better at it all the time.

All of the kids enjoyed making sun catchers on Monday.  We are working hard on kind actions and sharing this week, and the kids did great sharing the paints and Mom's attention.  This was a really easy and fun project. 

In other news, the little ones are loving FIAR.  I didn't realize how well they would pick up the geography part of FIAR. We are putting the story discs on a world map like the book suggests.  I also decided that we would make all the world flags as we come to them and then add the story discs to the flags as well.  This way the kids will get a better idea of multiple books coming from the same country.  The kids are really getting it.  HURRAY!  The only question is -- where am I going to find enough wall space?  Our stairwell and upstairs hall are filling up quickly with educational posters.

We are also starting the Brother Offended Program this week, and I am already seeing improvements in sibling rivalry.  HURRAY!!!!

Blessings to you all,
Dawn
