Friday on the Farm

What miserable weather we have had this week!  Although in the midst of it we were able to get a lot done.  The rabbit/goat barn was cleaned and rearrange this week to accommodate new bunnies.  The chicken coop got a good cleaning yesterday with new bedding.  Our new bunnies are doing well and I think are a little more relaxed today.  I will be moving them into the bigger cage today.


Our new rooms are drywalled and are being sanded today, so painting can start.  We have a busy weekend planned.  We are meeting with three families tonight who are interested in attending our home church.  Tomorrow I am hoping to start painting.  Our two oldest sons have been gone since Sunday to a two week music tour with a local christian college.  The kick off concert is Sunday night, then our two boys, plus their two roommates will be staying here with us for the night.  They have a big week of travel next week and then close out the tour next Friday night.  I am trying to find Joy in everything right now, as it is so easy to let life weigh me down right now.  So here is my "Count it ALL Joy!" list:

1.  My Mom is hopefully moving to rehab on Monday (yes, she is still in the hospital and this one has been hard to stay joyful with!)
2.  There are walls in our new rooms that will be ready for paint this weekend!!!!
3.  I get to paint...OK I know this is pushing it, but I am excited because this is one step closer to being done!
4.  I get to see my boys Sunday after not seeing them for a week!
5.  Once the walls are painted the wood floors go in!!!
6.  Once the wood floors are in the cupboards come in!!!!!
7.  Everyone is healthy
8.  I finished a crochet project that I started over a year ago...I know!
9.  It's supposed to stop raining next week:))
10.  I have the best Hubby in the world!

    I like that~ "Count it ALL joy list!". What a great way to look at trials!

    I didn't realize you were in a home church~ it would be interesting to hear more.

    YAY for paint and flooring and singing kiddos!

First Day of Homeschooling~Nearing the Finish Line

Image
We started on this journey 17 years ago, pretty much with no clue what we were doing. Hubby and I were both public school graduates, who leaped, both feet first, into the world of homeschooling with our five children. The three oldest had a year or two under their belt, the youngest two never stepped inside a school building. It was hard, wonderful, scary and fulfilling all at the same time. I know that is one my greatest achievements here on this earth.   The first day of school picture looks very different this year. Just him and I. My baby (not so much). Things change as they get older, learning to read and write is taken over by career goals and job searches. Making sure they can balance a checkbook, do laundry, and boil water for food (the struggle is real 😊😊) I find myself missing the days of reading out loud as all six of us pile on the couch in the afternoon. But as I see our four oldest ones, and the adults they have become, some married, one a mom, all working and livi

What I Am Working On~Wednesday

Image
In my last post I had mentioned there was a lot of things happening with our family. One of those big things going on is another wedding in August! Our oldest will be getting married to a sweet girl we love and adore. I am trying to help out with as much as they need me to. I am always considered the "crafty one" in the bunch so I am working on cupcake trays for the reception. I have been scouring thrift store for candlesticks and plates and trays that I can glue together and use for trays. Thrift Store Trays  The other thing I am working on right now is a backdrop that will hang from the screens at the front of the church. I have almost finished one and will hopefully get the second one done before the wedding! It is an easy project, just time consuming. But it gives me something to keep my hands busy at night. I am using cotton crochet thread and waxed paper. You can make it any size in width and length that you need. I am just cutting circles in the paper and then
