Print-a-Palooza- Monday October 1st
iHomeschool Network is sponsoring "Print-a-Palooza" with moms sharing all kinds of free downloads, including math, science, Christmas, organization, etc. It is a two-week extravaganza where I know a lot of ink is going to get used! :-) It sounded like much fun, so I just had to participate and share some of my "creations," as well.

Homeschool Mother's Journal/Weekly Wrap-up September 28
Better late than never. We are away and didn't get the internet password until this morning, so I am a little behind in getting my weekly wrap-up post written and published. :-)
In my life/homeschool this week: Another busy and fun week. On Monday, the kiddos had their music lessons and Kiddo #4 had her IEW writing class. On Tuesday, we visited "Howell Living History Farm" for a wonderful presentation on wheat harvesting/planting/threshing/griding, etc., etc. :-))) Much hands-on fun to be had. I posted lots of pics here.
On Wednesday, after Kiddo #1 and 2's online class, we headed to my uncle's house in NJ to help get rid of some of the extra wood on his property. Recently a large tree fell on their house and another on my aunt's car totaling it. (thank goodness they were not in the car at the time), so they decided to take down about 12 trees that were looking pretty ominous around their property. My father-in-law, who uses a wood-burning stove said he could certainly use some of it, so we were helping two people out at the same time. While the kids and the hubby loaded and helped make the runs, I got to spend some time hanging out and chatting with my aunt and uncle. :-)
On Thursday, we headed down here to Bethany Beach, DE. It is quite beautiful and certainly peaceful this time of year. We stay on a military base that is right in the heart of everything and has great recreational accomodations. We couldn't be more pleased.
Friday, while the dh and Kiddo #1 headed up to Dover for a NASCAR event, Kiddos 2,3,4 and I headed to the private beach here on post. They had a lot of fun playing in the sand and just enjoying the water. I think that a miniature golf game just may be in the cards for later on. :-)
What I'm praying for: The list continues to grow. So many people know or love those who are sick or suffering, out of work and have asked for prayers. I also pray for our military and our nation.
P.S.- for anyone who may be interested, I wrote two posts earlier this week offering free printables. One post has art projects such as verse banks, a Last Supper Craft and window painting. That can be found here. The other post has a compound words worksheet along with garden copywork. You are free to download them for your children! Help yourself. :-)

The kiddos also had their Italian lesson. They are progressing really well. The teacher just loves their enthusiasm. Yay! :-)

Today's category is Fine Arts. If you missed my Language Arts printables, you can go back and see them here.
We do LOTS of crafts at our house!
Today I am sharing my "Window Painting"
The verses for our savings banks. Here is the post where we made them if you would like to see how they came out. :-)
A great Last Supper Craft

And since baking is a "culinary" art, I thought I'd include a great recipe, as well! :-)

Since today's theme is Language Arts, here is a link to my Compound Words Worksheet.
I would also like to share my Garden Copywork worksheet. I used this with my kids when we were beginning to plant our seeds in February. You can also use it when you tend to or harvest your garden. :-)

Wordless Wednesday- September 26
Yesterday (Tuesday), we visited "Howell Living History Farm." We got to experience some more of what life was like in the early 1900s. The theme was "wheat." The kids got to plant wheat, pull a horse plow (I don't think they realized quite how heavy it was), thresh, winow and grind the wheat. They also got to taste bread that was made with the grinded wheat topped with butter that they churned. I just love hands-on learning. I truly believe kids learn by DOING and "do" they did! :-) Much, much fun.

Try a New Recipe Tuesday- September 25
It is Tuesday again! :-) And that means it is recipe time. Every week, I look forward to all that will be posted and to trying something new.
In fact, this week, I am sharing a recipe that was linked up last week. I made just a few modifications for my family. Thanks to Jan @ Tip Garden for the delicious recipe and idea! :-)
Crockpot Corn and Potato Chowder
One can corn (I used one of ours that we recently canned!)
one can creamed corn
one can cream of mushroom soup
one can chicken broth
6 potatoes diced
12 oz. milk
1/2 tablespoon worcestershire sauce
pepper to taste
1 chopped onion
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons sour cream
sprinkle of parsley
Combine all ingredients in crockpot. Since it was a last minute decision, lol, I put it on high for 3 hours. I'm sure low for 6 would be just fine, as well. It was DELICIOUS and perfect for a cool beginning of fall day. :-)

Make Life Meaningful Monday- September 24
There are always many things that make my life meaningful on a Monday. On this day, they are our church friends. We are so blessed to have found a church home that is welcoming and warm, vibrant and active and good and holy. We were made to feel at home from the minute we walked in the door. The journey to find a church home was not an easy one, but I really believe that God lead us to where He wanted us to be and the journey "home" wasn't without trial or pain, but we have been so rewarded in so many ways.
On Saturday, we held a fundraiser for our family retreat. (that is such an extraordinary experience. I can't wait to blog about it come late October!) We hold several fundraisers over the course of the year so the cost for each family will be significantly reduced.
The fundraiser was a "Quizzo" night. What is Quizzo? It is a trivia-style game with tables of 10 people all dressed according to a theme that they pick. Last year's was a big success, so we on the committee opted for a second-go-round this year.
Our table's theme was Hawaiian luau and boy did we deck ourselves out. :-) We had so much fun. We did more laughing and just enjoyed being in each other's company. We do faith-sharing with each other weekly come Advent and Lent, but it has been awhile since Palm Sunday, so we were all so glad to all be together in the same place at the same time. :-)
We did really well, too, coming in 2nd place. We missed out by 2 points. We realized we shouldn't have changed a few answers here and there, but we were already winners. We got to spend the evening with dear friends and enjoy each other's food, drink and company. It doesn't get a whole lot better than that.
Hope you had a good weekend, as well!
