11 September 13

My daughter took her test today and did fantastic!!  It is one of those days that you want to have grandparents to brag to.  Personally, I hate tests.  But, alas, they are required here.  So, I'm glad and proud that she did well.  This year, she did it online so we had instant results.  I recommend it whole-heartedly.  We got her online CAT from Christian Liberty Press, just in case you wanted to know.  We worked very hard in school today up to 10:30 p.m.  We had taken a three day weekend because my husband was free from work and school.  Of course, he had to start back up again today.  We went to a museum about submarines and mines.  It was very well done and interesting.  We then had some delicious baked goods at a near by bakery that we love.  The next day found us out and about doing chores, hanging together, and at our FPU class.  The children were able to attend their own version of the FPU for their age group.  My daughter talked with a girl about her age.  My son sweated it out (after the class) playing ping pong with the guys.  There was a 9th grade boy who told my children that he was sorry that they were home schooled because they could not take part in culinary arts (which they have actually been doing since age 4, respectively).  Then, almost in his next breathe, he proceeded to tell how much he hated his school.  My children thought that was ironic.  I thought so, too.  I'm not really doing reading before bed anymore.  We read so much together during the day.  I'm afraid that it would be overkill.  So, I think we will play a board or card game and then do our family devotions.  Right now, we are studying about the words we say.  That is a tough one.  But, with God's help, we will be speaking like Jesus!!  That's a good goal, don't you agree?  Have a great day!
