school

uniforms Pictures, Images and Photos

The kids began school today. I give myself a D for being late with basically everything. The alarm clock didn't ring, Nicole ended up waking us up. Everyone got out the door OK, but it was rushed. I figure some parents had hot breakfast made for their little scholars and they took pictures. Not me. Sorry! They were dressed and on time...that's all I can say for myself. They got showers last night, so no one smelled bad! So the journey begins again. Remember, it's not how you start that counts...it's how you finish!

That's great. You got them there.
The first week of school can be crazy.

We use to take pictures of the kids in front of the house with them holding up as many fingers up to represent what grade they were in.

This was for me so I would remember, they would say "Oh Mom" and now they laugh at the pictures.

It is fun trying to get that many ready for school. But if I would be late there would be about 200 people upset with me waitting for their morng snack. yes it is important to get a good breakfast but snack is sometimes the only breakfast some of the kids get. so I need to have it ready for them.

chicken coop idea

Why not start with an IBC and cut a hole for the door? You could build closed laying boxes into it, and something for the chickens to roost on. Put some straw or saw dust on the floor. You could add vents to the side for air. If it sat inside a chicken run that you can walk into, the chickens could be safe, dry and happy. I have an extra IBC. Maybe this could be my chicken house? I bet I could even plant the outside of it with mud and grass for extra insulation and good looks.

Reading Kingdom

I am very happy to review the Reading Kingdom.   This is an online program that uses a variety of methods to teach reading.   I decided to share this product with my adopted granddaughter Ruth.   Reading kingdom uses a six skills integrative method Ruth only just began to use the program. She is only 3 years old and cannot use the program without help.   But her mom says that she can already recognize words like girl and kids when they are shown on the screen.   Sylvia wrote that she loves the repetition of the words in the program .   That Ruth is memorizing the words she sees.     She will be able to use it for an entire year.   But I expect her to become a very good reader.   And what a great gift to give to any child!   She will have a lifetime love for books.     Sylvia also works with teenage mothers in Uganda.   And many of these women have never attended school.   So she plans to use these ideas to h...

Happy Birthday to Jessica

Today Nicole and I took Jessica shopping. She turns 22 years old tomorrow. She has grown over the past year. She now likes her disabled workshop. And she has begun to learn to write again on the computer. It is a slow process, but maybe she can write independently in the next 5 years. Her teacher is wonderful. We are very blessed to have her help! If I stopped and thought about what Jessica might be doing if she was healthy, it could break my heart. Birthdays should be happy, but when your child is disabled it's always bitter sweet. Bitter because of the milestones that were never met, and sweet because of the person that is still very valuable and wonderful. But I'm sure everyone feels bitter sweet about something in your life. Life is never only sweet. For me it is much better to fix my eyes on what is there and let go of what I hoped for...what every parent hopes for. Jess bought a new book, 3 DVD's and a Fanta. I also took her to McDonalds because that is ...
