7 Quick Takes Friday, October 29

~1~

I continue to do a lot of this with Meg. She has a job walking this horse. He has an injured leg, we walk him like a dog. It's a beautiful area, beautiful trails. But, I am a really busy homeschool mom. I enjoy the walks, the views...seeing Meg so happy. And yet, I'm kind of screaming inside the whole time I am doing this. Did I mention that I am busy?

We opened the garden up to the hens. It's like Disneyland for chickens.

This is Elsie, the caption should read:

"hmm, where should I start first? Tomatoes on the left or lettuce on the right?"

My favorite breakfast of choice is old fashioned oatmeal, with brown sugar
and fresh blueberries. Love, love, love it!

I saw this at the supermarket- Dark Chocolate oatmeal. I know better than to even
go there...it would be soo over for me. I'll stick to what I am eating now.

I had our first meeting with Meg's new teacher with the homeschool charter school program
we put her into this year. I homeschool all the kids through a charter school program, I do the homeschooling and planning, the teacher looks over our work about once a month and
records what we are doing. It went really, really well, I think I am going to like her.

Meg is taking Russian this year. I'm starting to question the wisdom of tackling a language that no one here can help her with. Demi just asked to learn Chinese, I think I am going to say no.

Meg had another Irish dance competition (feis). She has been so busy with school work, that she hadn't practiced much, she was considering not competing. She went, and won an honorable mention, a 3rd place ribbon and two 4th place ribbons- not too shabby :)

~7~

Josie went away to Jr. High Church camp last weekend, this weekend it is Meg's turn.

Fun, fun, fun- great spiritual teaching...but, cold. I'm glad I'm staying home :)

Charter school...how interesting...that sounds great and so glad it is going well.
At 6:13 PM, Aloha Acres said...: Beautiful pics, especially the first one. Horse people are wonderful people.
At 6:40 AM, laughwithusblog said...: Ditto your pictures are beautiful! I've never seen chocolate oatmeal. Russian-we're doing Latin right now and here I'm having trouble with that! ;)
At 7:56 AM, Theresa said...: I'm not a fan of oatmeal, more of a cream of wheat girl, but chocolate oatmeal? hmm...I may be able to get behind that!

I love when you said you were screaming inside! I feel that way a lot!!
At 10:55 AM, Karen Sue said...: we adopted #4 from Russia when he was 3.5. at that time Russian was taught in our highschool. We are happy to think he could re-visit his language when he grew up. Unfortunately, the Russian teacher has taken another job as a union leader, so it is not there.
Any Russian churches within the area? We have some 1/2 hour or so away.
At 11:34 AM, Hen Jen said...: Karen,

that is too bad about your Russian teacher, that would have been really neat to revist the language.

I haven't thought of looking for other Russian churches in the area, that is a good idea! We do have sister churches in Russia, and usually twice a year there are a group of Russians visiting our church for our week long Bible Conferences- we are hoping that we can have some stay with us, we've had Russian guests before- and that Meg can get some practice in at least twice a year with real Russian speakers.
