Randomness

Leah is the person to do the pictures and I am the one to do the writing. Except right now I can not figure out what to post about. I have been having trouble with that lately. I just thought of something. Finally! Today in school we were learning about china and Japan. Did you know that 1 out of every 5 people are Chinese? Also, 1 out of every 6 are Indian?( I mean India not Native Indians.) Japan has so many earthquakes and tsunamis that the tsunami that this was pretty normal? I thought that that was amazing! There are also this people group in China that wear animal horns on their heads with dead peoples hair wrapped around them. Leah thought that it was very disgusting.

Singing

In our house almost constantly you will hear songs being sung. We are very big into the musicals and have a lot of CDs of musicals. Even Naomi sings the songs. Just now she was singing a song from Suessical but she only sings one line over and over. She is soooo funny. Some musicals that we like are: Little Women, Suessical, Newsies, Sound of Music, and others that i cannot think of right now. We own some musical CDs but the rest we get out of the Library. My sisters Leah and Elizabeth, play piano (so do i) so they get out of our Library musical song books and play them on the piano. I can play some of them but not all of them.

Weekend without Mom!!

I am trying to post more but the posts are turning out to be smaller when i post more. Sorry. So this weekend mom is going away with her sisters and mom to our grandmas condo to do scrap booking. Dad gets to stay home with all of us s!! We are planing to go to the zoo and go to yesterdogs and do other fun things. I can't wait. I will try to post later this weekend.

Spring Photographs!!!!!

Well, today I was able to get outside this morning and take some pictures...... I really like morning much better than any other time of day....(it's also handy that morning is one of the best times for taking pictures), and I personally think that sometimes everyone needs to get out of the busyness of life- homeschooling is the main thing for me- and spend a little time with God outside. Anyway, thought I would post a few pictures....

Lent

For the past couple of years our family has fasted something during lent. This year Elizabeth, Leah, and I are fasting Lunch, Dad is not fasting, and Mom is not really fasting anything.(She is fasting Sweets and Dairy but that is because she is having allergy problems.) Which means that from 10 to 3 we do not eat or drink anything except water. The time that we would be eating lunch we are doing devotions and having quiet time with God. Also, our lunch money is going to go to 2 different places. One is Christmas shoe boxes and the other is Mission India. We are going to make some exceptions with eating lunch.
