For My Husband {On Father’s Day 2012}

Jun 18, 2012 | | 1 Comment



With our busy lives and schedules
and our day-to-day routines, 
Sometimes I may forget to say 
how very much it means
To be married to a man like you, 
to have the family we share, 
To know no matter what life brings 
your love is always there — 
And though I’m not the best, it seems, 
at saying “I love you,”
I hope you know within your heart
how very much I do.


Happy Father’s Day!

Sacred Heart Tie Dyed T-Shirts

Jun 14, 2012 | , | 25 Comments

I have been wanting to try tie dying Sacred Heart T-shirts for years, ever since the kids made Sacred Heart “Flags” one summer, and seeing the original ideas in this post over at the Little Flowers blog.  With the feast of the Sacred Heart coming up this Friday, and since we’ll be camping, I thought this was the perfect time.
Remembering the cute shirts also made by Charlotte’s family, we also used a Tulip One-Step Tye Dye Kit, some white t-shirts, this video tutorial on creating a heart design, and the directions that  came with the kit. 
The girls were a little more excited about the project than the boys, but I bribed them said they could earn a sticker for the “Complete a Science Experiment” square on this week’s Summer Bingo Cards, and that they could all choose their own colors from the kit.  
The kids all drew the hearts on their shirts and I helped with all the folding.  We were all very skeptical that the hearts would actually turn out, but Charlotte reassured me that we would be surprised! 

I made a huge mess trying to dump the color into each of the little bottles, and ended up tie-dying my hands along with the shirts despite the gloves! Still it was a fun experiment, right?! 😉

After dying the heart red, followed by yellow, the kids all picked different colors to complete their shirts. The older boys choose dark brown and green, Twinkle Toes choose fushia, Chiquita choose violet, and we went with Turquoise for Snuggles and Bud, and lime for Rose. Yes, I had to let go of my perfectionist tendencies when the boys decided they wanted to go with a “camouflaged” look…


We wrapped up the shirts in plastic wrap. The directions recommended waiting 6-8 hours, or longer for more vibrant colors, but since we got started so late in the day, we only waited about 4 1/2 hours.

  
We were surprised that the hearts turned, at least for the most part!   My favorite shirts were the fushia, turquoise, and lime.  I really liked the violet too, but I did a poor job folding the heart on Chiquita’s shirt.   I didn’t really care for the “camo” shirts, and the boys refuse to wear them anyways, but it was a neat idea!   
When I was hanging them all up along the front deck to take a picture, I laughed at the thought of what my husband was going to think when he arrived home (at any minute) and saw all the tie-dye…  I was pretty sure there was no way that our children would be wearing these in pubic!   
Late last night I asked if he really hated them… He replied with a grin, “Hate is a strong word… We hippies don’t use that word.”   I’m still laughing!  (And we are leaving the shirts home.) 

My Daybook :: June 11, 2012 {It’s Summertime!}

Jun 11, 2012 | | 32 Comments

Outside my window…
Is it really summer?  The forecast was finally promising a warm,  sunny day today, but it’s already 3:30 and we’re still waiting…

Oh!  And speaking about outside, I am so mad at the deer!  Yesterday we discovered our very first Pea Pod in the garden.  I went out there this morning, to take a picture, and found that someone had a yummy dinner last night – eating the pod, along with all the tops to the rest of our Sweet Peas – through the fence!  I guess we need to build a fence around the fence?  Or maybe just build some trellises and plant them away from the fence… next year.  This is a learning experience… At least that is what I keep reminding myself!

I am thankful…        
that the deer will not be able to get to the tomato plants!  I am really looking forward to some homegrown tomatoes this summer!

I am thinking… 
about whether or not to host another Online Curriculum Sale Blog Hop. Is anyone interested in participating again this year, and when would be the best time?

Learning all the time… 
Look what we found hanging out (and hardly noticeable) on our burgundy colored front door this morning, when Hubby was heading to work.   He was huge and thankfully he stayed outside and didn’t fly down the hallway, when the door opened!

Before he flew off, and while he was resting on the deck, I snapped this picture for the kids to try and identify.   We are pretty sure that he is a Hyalophora euryalus (Ceanothus silkmoth), maybe?

Living the Liturgical Year at Home… 
I’m really enjoying ordinary time this year!  I was ready for a break from all the daily readings and weekly parties during the Easter season.   Looking at the calendar though, the feast of St. Anthony is coming up in a couple days and I might try to make a special treat for the kids.  They really loved the “Multitude of Fish” Cupcakes we made last year for our Saintly Summer Fun in honor of St. Anthony. And I’m sure I’ll print out the St. Anthony Outdoor Scavenger Hunt too!  I’m also thinking about trying to pack a special treat for the Solemnity Feast of the Sacred Heart on Friday to share at camp.   I’m just not sure what… Maybe Barbara’s cupcakes?

From the kitchen… 
lots of fresh berries, veggies and lean proteins. Oh, and a very tempting bag of s’more supplies that is for our upcoming camping trip!

I am creating… 
End-of-Year Folders, new Summer Bingo Cards, and a Summer Bucket List!  

I am working on… 
packing for this year’s Catholic Family Camp.  I’d say we’ve made pretty good progress so far!

I am going… 
to be listening to the But, but, but… WHAT about GRAMMAR?? webinar this evening, hosted by The Institute for Excellence in Writing.

I am hoping… 
that after listening to the webinar I’ll finally be able to just place my order already!  We’ve already pretty much decided that we will be using the IEW curriculum for most (if not all) of our Language Arts next year.   I just wasn’t impressed with the later levels of Writing With Ease and First Language Lessons that we used this past year, and apparently the boys agree…  Spelling (The Phonetic Zoo from IEW) on the other hand made the “favorite subject” list – for the first time ever – and it really is awesome!   I just wish it wasn’t all so expensive, or that I didn’t want to order practically the whole catalog…

I am reading… 
I haven’t had much time for reading lately, but I have been looking through a beautiful new Catholic Planner, based on the traditional calendar, which I was sent to review.   I’m hoping to share more about it soon!

I am praying… 
for patience and perseverance.

Pondering these words…
from St.Therese of Lisieux:

“The goal of all our undertakings should not be so much a task perfectly completed as the accomplishment of the will of God .”

I am listening…  
to the country station on Pandora playing in the kitchen, the sound of the washing machine in the laundry room, the baby’s swing swaying back and forth, and Chiquita reading a picture book to Snuggles and Rose on the porch so she can earn another sticker for this week’s Summer Bingo card!  I love summertime!

Around the house… 
I worked on sorting through the big girls clothing this past weekend, packing up all the size 6 clothes that are now too small for Chiquita and passing down the size 7’s and some of the 8’s from Twinkle Toes.  No wonder they were having such a hard time finding outfits and cleaning their room, with clothes ranging from size 6-10 jammed in their few drawers.   It feels so nice to have that done!

One of my favorite things…  
seeing the scale go down as I try and lose all this post-partum pregnancy weight, and moving gemstones from one jar to the other!  (I’ve seen this idea all over online.) Each little gem represents a 1/2 pound that I have lost, and the gold ones are for every five pounds.  Yes, I still have a long ways to go, but I’ve already lost 14 1/2 pounds since the end of April!   It’s a start!!

A few plans for the week…

  • Try and find the time to walk on the treadmill, or outside, each day
  • Visit the Library
  • Try and respond to some more emails – I’m behind again! 
  • Drop off Donations at St. Vincent de Paul’s
  • Celebrate the Feast of St. Anthony on June 13th
  • Start planning Snuggles birthday which is next week, already! 
  • Attend Catholic Family Camp – a local camp with a wonderful priest and brother from the Father’s of Mercy! 
  • Celebrate the Solemnity of the Sacred Heart
  • Celebrate Father’s Day

A little peek at my day…

Assembling a Puzzle for her Summer Bingo Card 

End-of-School Interviews

Jun 8, 2012 | , , | 8 Comments

Whether I am ready of not, the end of our school year has arrived!  Next week our summer plans will begin with a bang.  First we are headed to a Catholic Family Camp, followed immediately by Golf Camp, Birthdays, and then Swimming Lessons.  It’s going to be a crazy fun summer!

Other than a couple End-of-the-Year parties we attended, and the Teacher Appreciation Gifts, I didn’t really have any special plans for the end of the year.   However, I was completely inspired by Sarah’s End-of-Year Folders when I logged into my Google Reader this morning!

I didn’t waste anytime “Making it Count” and the very first thing I did after breakfast was call each of the children into the school-room one at a time for their “interviews” and then spent nearly every free moment I had throughout the day today over at Pic Monkey creating the cover pages.  I had so much fun choosing photos and playing with the various fonts and colors.

Looking back at the beginning of the school year photos has made me realize just how much the children have all grown, and just how much we have accomplished this year, despite a difficult pregnancy and adjusting to another new little one in our home.  These interviews were such a fun way to document this special milestone and record the children’s favorite memories from the year!

Hopefully I can spend a little time tonight brainstorming ideas on what to include in the actual folders for my kiddos…  I wasn’t as awesomely organized as Sarah, keeping booklists for each child (next year for sure!), but I can probably come up with some sort of summary, a list of field trips, and a few work samples to include.   The big kids all have their completed Lap Books for History, and I’m sure I have plenty of pictures to choose from as well.   I’m taking notes on Sarah’s tips to make this easier next year!

Anyhow, here are our covers:

Happy Summer!

Someone found his toes…  I’m sure he will eventually out grow this phase, just like his sister.
Don’t you just love the grip he has on his leg, as he shoves that foot in his little mouth?!  
Ahhh!  A big smile for “Mom… Momma” after catching me with the camera.  
I sure love this sweet little guy of mine.

State-by-State Baking :: North Carolina Dogwood Bark

Jun 6, 2012 | , | 2 Comments

We are off to an “End of the Year” celebration this morning, and then we’ll be having friends over for the afternoon.   I don’t have much time, but thought I’d hop online for a few minutes and finish up the posts for one more state.

The state of North Carolina, the 12th State to join the Union, became a state on November 21, 1789.   As usual, the girls read T is for Tar Heel: A North Carolina Alphabet and then completed their Notebook Pages. 

North Carolina Notebooking Pages
by Twinkle Toes (L) and Chiquita (R)


“Now, D is for the Dogwood,
flowers gentle pink and white.
From mountains to city streets,
in spring a showy delight.”
Since we made this recipe during the Easter Season, we decided to try and find something to create for the Dogwood (which is the state flower for North Carolina) recalling the legend of the dogwood tree:
It is said at the time of the Crucifixion, the dogwood was comparable in size to the oak tree and other monarchs of the forest. Because of its firmness and strength it was selected as the timber for the Cross, but to be put to such a cruel use greatly distressed the tree. Sensing this, the crucified Jesus in His gentle pity for the sorrow and suffering of all said to it: “Because of your sorrow and pity for My sufferings, never again will the dogwood tree grow large enough to be used as a gibbet. Henceforth it will be slender, bent and twisted and its blossoms will be in the form of a cross — two long and two short petals. In the center of the outer edge of each petal there will be nail prints — brown with rust and stained with red — and in the center of the flower will be a crown of thorns, and all who see this will remember. 

I happened to find a recipe for White & Dark Chocolate Dogwood Bark which we adapted for our state recipe!  I’ll have to try and remember to add this recipe to Catholic Cuisine next Easter.

North Carolina Dogwood Bark

Ingredients:

3 cups pecan halves
6 ounces white chocolate
12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees . Toast the pecans on a baking sheet in the preheated oven for 8 minutes. remove the nuts from the oven and set aside to cool at room temperature until needed.

Melt both chocolates in microwave, or in a double boiler over medium heat.  Allow chocolate to sit at room temperature for 5 minutes.

Add the pecans to the bowl of melted semisweet chocolate. Use a rubber spatula to fold in the pecans until combined.

Pour the chocolate pecan mixture onto a nonstick baking sheet with sides and use a rubber spatula to spread evenly. Drizzle the white chocolate, one tablespoon at a time, over the entire surface of the chocolate pecan mixture.

Use a rubber spatula to spread and blend the white chocolate into the surface of the chocolate pecan mixture creating a marbleized effect (be careful not to overblend which would diminish the marbleized effect). Allow the mixture to cool at room temperature for 30 minutes. Cover the baking sheet with plastic wrap and refrigerate until the bark is hard, about 1 hour.

Remove the baking sheet from the refrigerator and transfer the bark to a cutting board. Use a cook’s knife to cut the bark into irregular pieces.  (The girls just used there hands to break the bark into pieces.)

  Refrigerate in a tightly sealed plastic container until ready to use.

**Oh,  and be sure to let the kids each have a couple pieces after dinner and then package the rest to give away to neighbors or friends… This stuff is very dangerous to have just sitting in the fridge!**

“T stands for Tar Heel,
a title that we’re all proud of.
Our flag, our ancestors, “good people,”
 we honor the history we love.”

I’m still working on catching up with the kids State-by-State study.  At this point, as we finish up our 2011-2013 school year, the kids have all completed 20 states.   Not quite half, but we are making progress. I have high hopes that we will be able to finish the remaining 30 by next summer, since we won’t be adding on to our home, or having another new baby this Christmas.  Excuses, excuses. 😉  

Even though it has taken time to fit the State Study in to our busy schedule, we all think it has been worth the extra effort!  The girls have been having so much fun with their baking, and the boys love flipping through their albums and looking back at all of their little illustrations for each state.

The American Revolution Unit Study and Lap Book

Jun 5, 2012 | , | 7 Comments

The American Revolution Unit Study and Lap Book

I’ve had this post in my draft folder since January and I am finally getting around to posting…  Sometimes I feel like it is harder to round up all my pictures and find the extra time to actually blog about our projects, than it is to do them!  😉 

Anyhow, as I’ve mentioned before, this year we have been making Lap Books to go along with each of our six Unit Studies for American History. Our third Unit was based on The American Revolution. While the girls were working on their Josefina Lap Books (that post is still in my drafts folder too), the boys were busy making their own Lap Books with printable mini books from The American Revolution (Time Travelers History Study Series) CD-Rom.

Resources and Books for Unit Three:

You can find links to all the books we used for this unit here, or you can print our complete Unit Three Plans/Booklist here.

My children have been especially enjoying The Childhood of Famous Americans Series.  Unfortunately our library doesn’t carry any of them, but I’ve put in some requests and have been slowly building our personal collection with the help of Amazon’s 4-for-3 specials.

Timeline Entries:

I asked the boys to choose 5-10 from the list to add to their History Through the Ages Record of Time timeline book during this unit.  You can read more about our Timeline books here:  Lap Booking {and Timeline} Questions Answered

American Revolution Lap Book

We are just loving the Time Travelers CD’s for creating our lap books for each unit.   It’s so nice to have all the printables in one spot, all ready to go, and the quality/detail is awesome!

THE FRONT COVER

The boys actually colored the covers to these lap books 4 years ago, when I first purchased the CD-rom for the lap book!   At the time I realized it was a little too advanced for them and saved it for later.   They were very excited to pull out their old illustrations and finally complete this lap book!! 

INSIDE VIEW #1

The red center page/flap addition contains the following three mini books: 

Important Documents

Each of the “important documents” is folded accordion style and placed in the “Doc Pocket.”

God’s Hand in Providence

Looks like I need to add the word “many” to Rascal’s Personal Spelling Lists! 🙂

Minuteman “Pop-up”

Paul Revere by Rascal

Paul Revere by Captain

On the Left Flap:

George vs. George

Tea Troubles

1st Continental Congress vs. 2nd Continental Congress

On the Right Flap:

Whig vs. Tory

Liberty Bell “Pop-up”

Monarchy vs. Republic

INSIDE VIEW #2

Bad News in Boston (with Overlay)  andSoldiers of the Revolution

INSIDE VIEW #3

The Center of Actual Lap Book Folder contains the Pie Book of “Acts”…

(before they taped them together to create the “Pie” book)

… and Women of the War. 

The back of each flap has all the “People to Know.”

Including:  Baron von Steuben, Patrick Henry, Nathan Hale, John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, Samuel Adams, and James Madison

Inside each frame the boys include some Biography Facts, Contributions to the Revolution, Character Traits, and a Quote.  I’ve been amazed to hear them rattle off all sorts of facts about these men.  They have been learning SO much!! 

The boys finished this unit quite awhile ago and are currently putting the finishing touches on their Unit 4 Lap Book, before our summer break, which begins next week!  With a new baby this year, we just weren’t able to complete all six units as I had planned.   At least I have my History plans for the fall semester all ready to go! 😉

Young Hunters Day 2012

Jun 4, 2012 | | 6 Comments

Five years ago we started attending Young Hunters Day, an annual event that is sponsored by our local Hunters Association. The first year Hubby took just our oldest two boys, in 2009 and 2010 we all went (you can see pictures from 2009 and 2010 in the archives), and last year I stayed home with the little ones.  

This year Hubby ended up having to work, so I decided that it couldn’t be too hard to take all the kids on my own. I had sent an email out to a bunch of friends hoping that some of them would be able to make it as well, and said a prayer that it wouldn’t rain. The weather was beautiful and my kids had so much fun this year with so many of their friends!

I realized on the way that I forgot my camera, but my little point and shoot happened to be in my purse and I was able to take some pictures before the battery died. I also should have packed sunblock and a hat for the baby. We were prepared for rain, but not for so much sun! I thought I did a great job at keeping Bud in the shade, but despite my efforts his white little head still ended up pink. (He’s all set for next time… I just found him a “Turtlel-y Cute” bucket hat for summer!)

As usual the children were able to participate in archery, trap shooting, laser shooting, fishing, pelt identification, and tomahawk throwing, with safety emphasized of course. Every child present could win one of the many raffle prizes and a yummy BBQ lunch was provided as well. Here are a few pictures from this year:

~ Archery Shooting ~

Twinkle Toes aimed for, and hit, the cougar.  I told her she reminded me of Susan from the Chronicles of Narnia, with her bow and (nearly) perfect aim.  😉  She was pleased! 

Even though the event is for children ages 5-16, Rose insisted on waiting in line for a turn with the bow and arrows, and she wasn’t disappointed! 



~ Trap Shooting ~

I was amazed that the boys were actually hitting the clay targets as they flew threw the air! While I was watching, Captain hit one out of three and Rascal hit two out of three. (It’s hard to see in the picture, but the clay disk is that little speck right above the middle(ish) cloud.)

~ Tomahawk Throwing ~

“String” (as I heard him called) got very excited when Rascal hit the target with the Tomahawk!

“So, are you two Mountain Women?” asked String.

And even our little Snuggles decided to give it a try!
~ Pelt Identification ~ 


~ Raffle Prizes ~ 

At the end of the day there is a raffle. Each child receives a ticket and when their name gets called they get to go into the building to choose their prize. (No parents allowed!)  I always love seeing what each child chooses on their own. This year Captain picked out a headlamp, Rascal picked a camping chair, Twinkle Toes picked a new slip in slide, Chiquita picked a (very girly) baseball glove and ball, Snuggles picked a combo prize with a kite, badminton, and a really neat “balloon helicopter,” and Rose was SUPER EXCITED to finally have her VERY OWN sleeping bag, and looked so excited carrying it out of the building!   My little camera was dead by this point, but I somehow managed to figure out how to take a picture of them all with their prizes using my cell phone! 🙂

Afterwards we headed to the park for our local Catholic Homeschool Group’s End of the School Year Fiesta.  It was a pretty busy day, but filled with fun and friends!

Prayer of Mothers

Father in heaven, grant me the grace to appreciate the dignity which you have conferred on me. Let me realize that not even the Angels have been blessed with such a privilege—to share in your creative miracle and bring new Saints to heaven. Make me a good mother to all my children after the example of Mary, the Mother of your Son. Through the intercession of Jesus and Mary I ask your continued blessings on my family. Let us all be dedicated to your service on earth and attain the eternal happiness of your kingdom in heaven. Amen.
