It was a full day...testing in the morning, break outside. Lunch inside and then reading from Beatrix Potter's books (Benjamin Bunny, etc), and then the viewing of her movie, Miss Potter (with captions on for easy comprehension).
What a testimony to "courtship" that movie is! I think love is deeper, and more committed when it isn't tainted by all the things people taint it with today. I especially love all the letter writing. Reminds me of my hope to read this book about John & Abigail Adams (Those Who Love by Irving Stone written in 1965, so hope it's good)..I'll let you know when I'm done with Robin Hood.
We squeezed in a trip to the library, and brought home 60+ books (2 movies, Rin Tin Tin & Little Women Christmas, no StarWars comic books this time, I just said no-can I say the pictures are just too dark!)....kids were anxious to get home, so we didn't stay long. I found the Sarah Plain & Tall books, haven't read them, but thought I heard they were good, if not, hope someone tells me! Usually it's Jaclyn, she tells us right away, which I really appreciate.
We are looking forward to this Easter weekend to spend time with family, and friends. We have gatherings for Easter and Jonathan's end of the year hockey party (celebration for first place!). We are looking forward to Good Friday's service as well as Easter's celebration, hope both bring you a couple heart beats closer to the heart of Jesus....
We didn't get it all done today, so need to work at it harder tomorrow, but all in all it was a good day without too much drama. We covered the testing, literature, Bible, some of us did math, and Jaclyn had her music lesson at home, which I personally love because I can do things, listen and smile all the while! A couple boys probably did too much outdoor time. I do have a hard time balancing it all. We didn't get the laundry folded, but did have supper on the table!
Chris cleared more woods...We can see clearer now, the shrubs are gone! No obstacles in our way (remember that song???) He gets to give a presentation to college students tomorrow! Go Professor Haak!
