Homeschool Mother's Journal/Weekly Wrap-Up March 14-15

It has been an eventful and fun week at the Home to 4 Kiddos.  :-)

Over the weekend, the boys had another session of their .22 rifle class and tractor safety with 4-H.

Our daughter served her first Mass.  For my non-Catholic readers, children from the age of about 10 and up are able, if they choose, to assist the priest during Mass.  They are called altar servers.  Our oldest, who is in the pictures with her, has been doing it for many years and is the "go-to" kid for everything from Easter celebrations to Confirmations to funerals.  He will be stepping back from weekly serving now, as the new kids (who are SO much smaller than him!) are ready.  He will still avail himself whenever needed for special Masses or services.  :-)  I am proud of them both!  :-)

On Monday, Kiddo #4 finished the most adorable dress for her American Girl doll.  Isn't it precious? Complete with cuffed sleeves and a little collar.

On Tuesday, we started our seeds!  Yay!  (at least we can THINK spring)

It was so warm on Tuesday, that the kids just had to get outside and run and play.  You can still see the remaining snow on the ground!  :-)  It is supposed to snow again on St. Patrick's Day. Can you believe it?

Wednesday has us at a homeschool program that was being offered on geology.  The kids passed around ash from Mt. Saint Helens, learned about different types of rock and made their own "metamorphic" ones.  :-)

On Thursday afternoon, we were over at church for classes-- I teach, my younger two attend and the older two are teen "helpers"- they grade homework books, take attendance, etc.

Even when it's busy, they always find time to do something they enjoy

Friday afternoon, we will attend Stations of the Cross for children at our church.  It is a special Lenten devotion that literally puts ourselves in the steps of Jesus from when He was condemned to death to his burial.

The kiddos were also able to take their bikes out and play a bit more outside.  They are going to enjoy the nice weather while it lasts.

Hope you had a wonderful week!

Don't forget, if you have a Lenten post of any kind, please come and share it with my Lenten linkup. There are dozens of posts already shared.  How wonderful that we can read and be inspired and get some great ideas for our own families.  :-)
