Overview of our Day
* memory program
*speed reading program (complete with tapes, book and all for $2 ea.)
* A.W Tozer's A pursuit of God (2 of them- one for me and for Ash)
* a well illustrated book on gardening for Cody
* a book called: You Can Be the Wife of a Happy Husband by Darien B. Cooper (foreword by Tim LaHaye)-it looks like it was written a while ago, it has some really good insight that we need to hear from time to time...
* The Master by John Pollock (foreword by Charles W. Colson) looks wonderful to read aloud to the children, it's a biography on Jesus' life
It's soo cool to come out of the 'hand me down store' with treasures that were someone else's junk.
Next stop...Burger King- to eat of course
My goal is always to bring lunch from home (e.g. bread, peanut butter and jelly, fruit, water etc.) It does not always happen in our home as you can see. It's a good goal though.
Next stop.... Hopaco (stationary store that sells party supplies)
Ash wanted me to get lunch plates -the kind with the hinge and cover. We were having a nice warm stew for dinner on Monday night when out of the blue he asked me to get plates, make a nice big stew, like the one we were enjoying, to go feed some of the people that we see on the side of the road (homeless) in Hilo on Friday. Yes indeed! I am delighted to take part in this activity!
Next stop.... Yup, Walmart
On the List:
* diapers
* new booster seat for Olivia
* toilet paper
* foil
* dish soap
What did we come out with? The list, plus more...
* house slippers that were half off for all the kiddos
* yummy coconut balls
Next stop....The Library-finally...
After lots of browsing and loss of time we all came out with a few good books. It's kind of scary entering the library with the children and I. We all have different interests, things that we all would like to learn about, can you imagine 6 of us and the time it takes? We never know when we will leave. Actually, the only reason why we left when we did was because we had to get home and make dinner for my hard working, hungry husband. The pizza dough was in the fridge waiting to be made into pizza. For the books that I came out of the library with:
* 100 Top Picks For Homeschool Curriculum by Cathy Duffy
* The Relaxed Homeschool- Mary Hood
* Totally Cool Soapmaking for Kids
* Budget Scrapbooking
* Mom's Little Book of Displaying Children's Art
* Home Schooling on a Shoestring- Melissa L. Morgan & Judith Waite Lee
* Tropical Organic Gardening, I want to start another garden, soon...
* The Home School Reader
* Taro in Hawaii, we're going on a field trip next week to learn about taro at the community college..
* Growing Vegetables in Hawaii- Kathy Oshiro
* Teddy Bear's Picnic Cook book
* Scrapbooking Life's Celebrations- Paige Hill, I've never scrapbooked, but would love to with all the photos we have
Are you tired yet? Next stop... KTA (Local Grocers)To buy ingredients for the stew and other misc. items
One last stop...Cost U Less ( a mini Costco) The kids are tired, and soo ready to go home, so am I
On the list:
* honey in bulk - for homemade wholewheat bread
* tomato sauce in bulk
* granulated garlic
* granola bars- once again, in bulk. What can I say, I have an army to feed!
Now home! Yeah! Only to work some more..."quick! Daddy will be home, put everything away, who wants to help me make the pizza?!" Great, I have three helpers. One to cut the mushrooms, one to make the sauce and one to sprinkle the cheese.
On the menu:
Pizza #1 turkey sausage, mushrooms, olives and Parmesan cheese
Pizza #2 left over chicken breast, spinach, mushrooms and Parmesan cheese
Ginger Ale
Alas! After kitchen cleanup, showers, several books later and prayers, we are done for the day!
