Wrapping up Homeschooling for the year....

I am feeling very done with homeschooling.
Like as in "I don't care if they learn another blooming thing."
"I don't care if they do another page."
Or another test.
I'm done.
Over it.
Never want to do it again.

But I will.

Next year.

But for this year, I AM DONE.

And they almost are.

Next Friday, May 6, should be our very last day.
Ben has some English to do over the summer. 
He had a hard time with the parts of speech and we kinda figured that it was important that he learn that clearly, so we slowed down his pace and we will just do that over the summer.  
It won't hurt him.
It may kill me though.
But I doubt it.

How are all the other homeschooling Mom's in the world feeling?
Over it?
Done?
Just wondering if I am all alone......

Update on the nursing home ministry...

Ursula is still there...
and still wondering if I am really going to have ANOTHER baby.

I know, it's hard to believe that someone would procreate as much as we have.
I'm really confused by the whole thing myself.

Yesterday my husband got to preach at the nursing home.
We sit at round tables...
Justus and Isaac sat closer to the front
and me and the rest of the clan sat in the back ~ Ty was in a funk.

So, Justus is up there preaching and I get the feeling that I should check on Isaac who is 
sitting with himself at this point....

I look...

Only to find Isaac happily flirting with a black lady sitting at his table.
WINKING AT HER!
He never ceases to surprise me!  

Hope you had a great Easter!!!!

What did you eat?

And why is it an Easter tradition to eat ham?  
Anyone know?
My husband asked me yesterday and I said "because my Grandma always fixed ham."
Not logical, I know, but that is why I fix it....

Funny happenings in Teen church this morning.

Perhaps, due to my plumpness, I am overly giggly...
but these teenagers this morning CRACKED ME UP!  
They are all on the younger side of their teen years and therefore tend to lose all abandon
and are very likely to just say whatever comes to mind.

While asking for prayer requests, Dylan age 12 raises his hand.

He says "please pray that my eyebrows would grow back quickly."
My husband ~ very seriously~ says "What happened?"

Dylan is quiet and pensive for a moment and says 
"My brother shaved them off while I was sleeping."
 Bahahhaaha!  Poor Dylan!
{{{We did pray for his eyebrows by the way.}}}

My husband has been teaching them through the book of Proverbs
the past couple of weeks and he was asking questions regarding previous lessons.

One of the questions was : What do you hold tight to?

To the which Tyler replies:

"Your wife?"

Hahahahaha!

And last but not least... What is the principle thing?

One would think the correct answer is wisdom, or even God, or Jesus...

Nope.

Not in our teen church.

No siriee bob!

We got 

MOTHER EARTH!

Who knew???

I hope you enjoyed your Sunday as much as I did.
It is great to serve the Lord!
