Today we spent a lot of time on the usual suspects, i.e. math, spelling, English...But Maddie and Wes also did a creative writing project that was lots of fun.  They had to tell whether they would rather be a fruit or veggie (both fruit), which fruit and why.  Maddie wanted to be a star fruit, Wes pineapple (can you say he wants to be in Hawaii????).  We also spent time studying Jacques Cartier and the founding of Newfoundland and Canada (did you know Canada sounds like a Huron word for village?) and battle between the English and the Spanish Armada.

This afternoon Tyler played with Garrison, Maddie did her Bible Study with Mary Jane.  When the kids finally got home for dinner, Tom decided to pull out some new "toys" he found at a yard sale.  He got several albums at a yard sale~Grease, Elton John's greatest hits, Footloose, etc.  We all had a BLAST dancing around and our entire family did the Hand Jive, lol~even Penny, the beagle.  Maddie helped her out with her paw motions, too cute.  What a fun serendipity!!

God sometimes gives us the greatest blessings when we least expect them~like a time of dancing and singing as a family. I pray you've found some wonderful gifts from the Father today too.
