Our character trait this week was Integrity. I'm not sure who benefits more from learning these weekly traits and how we can apply them to our lives, me or the children. Our verse to go along with integrity was Proverbs 27:19 As water reflects a face, so a man's heart reflects a man.
Polly wog practiced her spelling words by writing them in a pan of rice. For some reason this really helps them stick. The only other thing the kids like more is using Spellingcity.com for the fun games.
This was a really light week for us as one by one the kids started coming down with the flu on Wednesday. We did as much as we could and then gave up when the older kids got it and worked on getting our bodies healthy again. Here are some random pics from the rest of the week.
Play dough, apple jacks, and spaghetti noodles are so much fun!
Sweet smiley boy.
Getting pretty good at getting out of his chair ;)
He was looking at Polly wog in this one. He LOVES his big sister, or his second mom as I like to refer to her as. ;)
I have been attempting to spend one quiet time a week with one of the older kids at a time for some one on one. This is what Polly wog chose to do for her turn this week.
I left him at the table too long with the paint. He was pretty proud of himself.
This was just too sweet not to capture!
I LOVE the idea of letting each one of your kids have a quiet time with you. We are definitely keeping quiet and alone time as a permanent fixture for a long time.
ReplyDeleteAlso loving the spaghetti and Apple Jacks. Why didn't I think of that?
Your family is precious :) I am so impressed that you are keeping up with your schedule with 4 kids. You probably have a lot to teach me about managing my time! My kids loved playing war. So funny how something so small is something so big to them.
ReplyDeleteYes, quiet time is a must around here too :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for your kind words Monarch Room. That is one of the great things about HOD. This simple projects that the kids really enjoy!
