School Time
We are slowly getting back into a school routine after having three weeks of holidays with our visitors. We all find it difficult to get back into things when we’ve had a long break. One thing that I try to do to make it easier, is plan something fun. The kids were keen to make another mural, and we will start on that as soon as I can find some paper to cover a large portion of the wall in our hallway. In the meantime, I found the Ancient China Treasure Chest that we started on last year, and the kids tried their hands at some Chinese writing:
While the two younger ones were in China, Daniel was in the same time frame in Europe, building a castle:
This castle is going to be so cool! I’ll keep putting up photos as it gets built. The main problem is to find a spot for it where it won’t get wrecked during construction!
I find it easy to get stressed when things don’t go the way I planned in the first weeks back at school. At these times I need to keep my eyes on the Lord and take it a day at a time. He led us to homeschool, and He will give us the strength and wisdom. Oh, how I need wisdom!
Yesterday was a tough day with the children’s attitudes. Dh had a chat with them last night and today went much better. Again, I need to remember to allow all of us, myself included, some time to get back into things.
I cannot know why suddenly the storm
Should rage so fiercely round me in its wrath;
But this I know–God watches all my path,
And I can trust.
