School year favorites 2018

I have been meaning to post these for a few days, then I looked at last year and saw that I posted this same post one year ago on August 30, so I didn't feel so bad. The start of the school year is so busy for us, with meetings, testing, and adjusting to the new routine. Caleb has FOUR outside classes this year, so we are driving him a lot, and encouraging him to get his permit soon. So far his classes are going really well, and Mallory is taking band at the nearby middle school, but she can walk there. I walked her for several days in the first week. She has even ridden her bike there, which is a nice change from walking. Too bad Caleb can't ride his bike to his high school!

I love asking my kids these questions and seeing how their answers change from year to year, and what stays the same. Bethany still likes the same food! :-D HERE is where you can find last year's post.  I had a hard time making these because the colors don't always show up well on the brick wall. I hope you can still see them. I used my app called "Over" again to get the print on the photos.

I sure love these kids and I'm thankful for the privilege of homeschooling them!

This is our home academy verse:

Ephesians 6:17
Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.

Deuteronomy 11:18-20 
Fix these words of mine in your hearts and minds; tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. Teach them to your children, talking about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. Write them on the door frames of your houses and on your gates...

This is a promise that I hope for my children...
Proverbs 22:6 
Start children off on the way they should go, and even when they are old they will not turn from it.
