Weekends over back to the Haven!

We have had a super busy weekend here. The 1st one in a while. I'm not so sure I like them....I'm feeling tuckered out today! We started off the weekend early with our favorite "fast food". Thank you Chick-fil-A! We hadn't been in quite a long time and was it yummy!

Going also made for a nice goal! The chickadees knew on Thursday night that weekly household chores needed to be completed before making costumes. What incentive!

Yes here I am. I wasn't going too, but where would have been the fun in that! I had a wonderful yummy lunch.

7/11 Can you believe it! We hit 7/11 too! We haven't had a Slurpee in I can't remember when. Great for our health and the pocket book. But it sure was fun!

P.J. Palooza

Then my oldest and I went to the P.J. Palooza at our church. Every summer our church host an event for all the ladies 13 and over. It's a fun/crazy night of crafting, dance (just girls), sweet and salty food, a movie, and sleeping (if there is time). We didn't hit the hay until 5 a.m.! See why I'm tried!

Look at what my oldest chick made! I was so impressed. It fits her Bible. I think she did a great job!




I thought the Nester might like this one! I now have a funky summer purse.





I made this one for my 2nd chick who wasn't old enough to attend, but was there in thought!

We also tried our hand at anklet making. It was great fun. The theme this year was being a princess. Of course we are all Princess' of our mighty Lord and King. We had crazy girl fun!

So those were the 2 main events. We also had a birthday party , a bar-b-que and a Dave Ramsey reunion class to boot! I need to rest!

But today's plan is:

Pray: Specific direction for our new school year and planning (or over planning).

Laundry

Menus and Fill out Veg Order

Oh I was supposed to get dressed! (sometimes I get my best work done in my Jammies!)

Have little chicks read and swim in pool.

Have a wonderful day!

okay. I think that sounds awesome. I might look into that.

Homeschool, well, I have homeschooled them all, but took the last two years off. We live in the country, where 95% of the residents are christian, so when we moved out here 3 yrs ago, I looked into the local school, right around the corner. The grade school is AMAZING, it is ran more like a co-op, so the two younger girls will continue going there until 5th grade, as for middle school, different story, I expected it to be the same, but its not. This past yr, oldest daughter decided to be a follower and not a leader, and I told her, I promised the Lord, if I saw, heard or felt anything, I pull her back into homeschooling, so that is what we are doing. She will be an 8th grader, so I am looking for stuff for her. New stress here, making me a little tired, but it weighs on my heart so, what todays 13 yr olds face that we didn't at that age.

She is also somewhat resistant (oh well) but it isn't making it easy. She hopes I'll change my mind the more she whines!!!!good luck baby!

Okay, so what do you do for down time? I scrapbook with a couple of my girls. We also read together, or do some hand stitching, or just a good ole nap!!!!

P.O.O.P.I.E

People Opposing Objectionable Pretend plants in the Environment ! Okay folks it's been a week....which is way too long. Schooling 3 1/2 is a bit daunting at times. My other excuse.....I've been freaking out about lice for over a week. No, I didn't have it (this time around), but I've scratched myself raw over it! On to P.O.O.P.I.E.! Over at Nestor's she's done a short series on what's a good fake and what's not ( errr flowers that is). So after you take a peak at mine head over there and read hers and everyone else' poop (can I say that?), I mean blogs! Nesting Place is in my side bar if you need directions ( I wanted to put the button up, but have no clue). These are my year round fakies .... Superman gave me the floral arrangement about 12 years ago when we couldn't afford flowers, who am I kidding....we still can't! I did change out the pedestal urn they came in. My wonderful ivy on top of the cabinets. My chicks have always ha...

Facial Cleanser

We've been using a surprisingly wonderful face wash for about 6 months. Guess What it is? Olive & Castor Oil! I was really surprised at how well it works and you can customize the formula to you own needs. For people with T-zone, dry or oily conditions. At www.theoilcleansingmethod.com/ they give all the details. I used an old facial cleanser bottle and tweaked the instructions to fit our needs. -15% Castor oil -85% olive oil -Shake and place in shower with wash cloth. - Gently rub 1 to 2 pumpfuls into face, neck, ears etc. (before you get in) -Use the warmth of shower to open pores. -Heat wash cloth with water, place on face for a minute or so. Then gently rub off excess oil, make up and dirt. Like I said, we've been using this for 6 months or so. In that time I've had only 1 blemish ( I'm a t-zone). My face is so much smoother and softer and this is all I do. No more 3 parts, no extra lotions! The above recipe has worked well for dry and t-zone. So we only h...

Frugal Friday

Time again to remember creativity and frugality! I really enjoy www.biblicalwomanhood.com where today it is Frugal Friday. Two needs we had were new nighties and bicycle baskets. We've been riding like crazy and I was tired of old t-shirts for jammies. It's hard and expensive to find nice, cute nighties for 5 different age groups! So we headed to a local thrift shop and bought sheets. Now if this thought grosses you out, just think "Vintage"! Everything was washed and dried in the dryer. Each sheet cost about $3.00. I was able to get 3 nighties in children sizes out of one and 2 in adult sizes out of another. I wish I could show more pics, but thought it was best not to of my older chicks. Needles to say they have become every one's favorites and today I need to make more! The cost of each nightie was about $1.50! I figured in my pattern and lace I also found. Isn't she a cutie! I'm not sure how to turn this but I also made house coats for each girl. This ...
