The Weekly Plan {Nov 12th}

(It's our dog Holly's first birthday today!)

You may (or may not have) noticed that I never got around to posting a weekly plan for last week~and it's a good thing I didn't!  I would have blown it for sure.  It was quite a week!

It began with a stomach bug~those are always fun, right?  Thankfully this mama didn't get sick even though everyone else did.  Obviously, everyone wasn't up to the usual meals~which was good since I hadn't planned them..ha!  But there was lots of chicken noodle cup-o-soup and homemade potato soup involved.  

What was left of the week was very busy with schoolwork, co-op and our church family.  It turned out to be a good week.  Especially the early Thanksgiving dinner we had at church yesterday ....mmmmm!

Now this week is going to have to be much more organized~I've got lots to do to prepare for our family's Thanksgiving while also wrapping up schoolwork so that we can take next week off. 

So here's what's happening:

Monday:
-Homeschool
-Catch up on laundry (it's bad, folks!)
-Cleaning bathrooms (oh the joy)
-Dinner: Leftover Turkey & Dressing with cranberry sauce (from our church's Thanksgiving meal yesterday), and veggies
-Then I'm headed to our homeschool group's monthly Moms Night Out

Tuesday:
-Homeschool
-More house cleaning
-Delivering dinner to a friend who recently had surgery
-Dinner: Chicken & Apple sausages, scalloped potatoes, and a veggie

Wednesday:
-Homeschool
-Run an errand or two
-Teaching kiddos at church
-Dinner: Tostadas

Thursday:
-Dr.'s appointment
-Taking the kiddos to see a local play: The True Story of Pocohantas 

Friday:
-Homeschool group co-op classes
-Work at the special Moms Night Out our church is hosting for area moms
-Dinner: pizza at the church:)

Saturday:
-Lowe's Build & Grow clinic
-Continue prepping for Thanksgiving
-Dinner: Baked Potato Pizza

Sunday:
-Morning Worship
-Lunch: Out to eat for Mexican food

Your week last week started out how my week started today. Brynne woke up with a fever, sore throat, and then threw up. And I was SO looking forward to a "normal" week and had a great Veteran's Day lesson planned. Ugghhh! Now just hoping she doesn't have my older daughter's mono. Have a great week! Wish I could go see the play with you!

The Reading Game: A Review

I was excited to receive this review product recently, thinking my 1st-grade-son could really benefit and enjoy it a lot. And I was right! He is having so much fun with this game. The Reading Game is a fast-paced memory card game using words. The game comes with 6 sets of memory cards with 6 corresponding readers. The idea is for you and your student to play memory with each set of cards (playing 6 rounds with each set), after every 2 rounds your student then reads 2 test sentences to see how he is retaining the new words he is learning. After the whole set has been played, he is then ready to read the corresponding reader...and has learned 30 new words! By the time your student has played every set of cards and read every reader, he will have learned 180 words. Of the 25 most common English words, 23 are on that list; of the 50 most common words, 42 are on that list. So this little game of reading really does prepare your student well. The readers are illustrated with cute

The Making of an Egyptian Death Mask

We are learning all about the ancient world this year with Story of the World I and loving it! We've been learning a lot about Egypt, of course, which is completely fascinating. Most recently we have studied the New Kingdom of Egypt, which includes the story of King Tut. So we decided making an Egyptian death mask in the style of King Tut's would be a fun project. First since it was too cold at the time to paper mache in the garage (it probably would have frozen instead of dried-ha) and it was too messy to do it in the house, we decided to pick up a couple of cheap craft masks at Hobby Lobby. Next we cut out cardboard shapes to complete the shape of the death mask, attaching them with hot glue. Vince even put a little detail on the *beard* with the hot glue per The Princess' request. Then the kiddos started to paint them with this metallic gold tempera paint. It worked okay for the cardboard, but would not coat the plastic of the mask. We thought maybe a second coat

Door Hanger Chore Charts

My kids have had a chore chart for a while.  It's one of those magnetic boards and they share it.  However, it's not by their rooms and often they (and I) forget to update it.  Plus it's a little bulky.   When I saw the concept of a door hanger chore chart on Pinterest, I loved it!  It was compact, right there were the kiddos could see it coming out and going into their rooms, and it costs almost nothing to make.   I headed over to one of my favorite stores: Hobby Lobby, of course.  They  have these little wooden door hangers for .79.  I also grabbed a couple of packets of decorative buttons for $1.99 each.  I already had the clothes pins and the paint so those cost me nothing.   I began by painting the door hangers (I used tempera paints because that's what I had).  Then I grabbed a fine point Sharpie and the clothes pins and started writing chores on them, making sure to write them correctly so they will clip on the right direction.   The left
