We had a wonderful trip to Pisgah National Forest in NC Friday. The kids had a blast!! They actually waded in a freezing, mountain, stream, Hope also got a slight sunburn. She was prune like in the end. She stayed in the stream the whole time!! She is my waterbaby, always has been. Naomi played in the sand when we took a walk. She kept "hiding" pebbles and saying "wherego?" She is so much fun!!
We travelled behind the Lovejoy's all the way up there. Good thing too, as I get so lost, easily.
Elizabeth went off by herself for a couple of hours. She said she had fun climbing trees and wading. Hannah finally found her near the time we were to leave. I have to admit I was worried there for a while about her disappearance. Just goes to show, I need to trust my children more.
Hannah joined Duncan and Bo wading in the stream. She also chatted with a couple of girls there. The outing was chock full of teen boys. Usually it is the other way around, more girls than boys!
I will add pictures tonight. I wish I were more computer literate!
I quit Hobby Lobby Thursday. I will be training someone in the next two weeks. I will continue to work one night or day a month to stay on the payroll. That won't break me. I'm looking forward to having only one job. I will enjoy getting off at 6:00 pm everyday, it is long in coming.
I had a good Mother's Day. They let me sleep in till practically noon, or I got to lay in bed till noon! Hannah made me an Anime Mother's Day card. It is really good. Hannah is sooo talented!! Elizabeth always likes to give me presents last...she made me a beautiful card of our German Shepherds and wild floweres pressed in a little frame. Incredible how talented the girls are artistically! Hannah wants to go to the art school I attended in Atlanta, GA. "The Atlanta College of Art."
Elizabeth wants me to help structure her day. She is a list maker. She also wants Saxon Math program. She is one to check lists. So I've made lists for this week on a home school program. I think the kids get a little bored with my working. Lists help them out.
I had a "fall" in Unschooling last night. I turned teacher like and tried to teach Hope about the World Globe. She wanted to know where Egypt is. Yikes!! Won't do that again!! I told them to slap me if I do that again!!
All in all it was a good weekend.
