Happy Almost Thanksgiving



We are busy getting ready for the holidays and I am sure you are too! This week, we are working on mastering a new book, reading from a previous book (depending on which student you are), working on the memory verse, along with math, geography and American history.

On the computer, we are still working on Auto Cad and Teamer is making great strides. They have also discovered a number of other sites, besides ebay and Amazon on which to spend their allowance. (Oh yea!)

We completed our Christmas mugs we decorated last week, except we need to take the art work (insert) and have it laminated before we start using the cups. They came out very nice and the boys were pleased.

Incase you haven’t seen these cups, they can be found at most craft stores, along with Mardels in our area. The cost is only 88 cents! Truly a great buy for something the boys have enjoyed making. They come with four different insert designs, which is great as everyone’s is different.

Later this week we will begin decorating pine cones and making bird feeders from some of the cones. (Unless it rains!)

This coming Saturday, I will be teaching at ECU. We will be preparing a Thanksgiving Day dinner. I haven’t decided if the boys are going along to help, but I am considering just that. It would be a great experience. They haven’t done any demonstration type activity since during the summer and this time it would be for adults, which would be good practice. Hoping granddaughter, Gabby, will be here, too.

In the meantime, I am trying to get organized so we won’t spin out of control before Christmas arrives!

May you Thanksgiving table be blessed.
