Home School Room Makeover: Part 1

Crazy February Holidays: Answers

Las Repuestas!

As Gru from Despicable Me says in an eastern Europeanish accent, "Of course, I have pins and needles that I am sitting on."  As I am sure many of you do, waiting to find out which crazy, fabulous February holidays we were celebrating last Friday.  

I have good news!  The wait is over!  All fourteen are in the pic below.  Can you find them?

Thank you Baptist Missionary Women for hosting this super fun event.  Looking forward to next year.  

Next Friday, I will be sharing part of our homeschool room makeover.  All I can say is it was cheap and the results were spectacular!  (Lots of exclamation points this post, please forgive me)

Here is the before picture...I know, almost anything would be a much needed improvement, but trust me...it's going to be great.
  

See you on Monday for Ministry Monday.

What crazy holiday do you like to celebrate?  Maybe it's Star Wars Day(May 4th) or Eat Ice Cream for Breakfast Day(Feb 1st) or Collect Rocks Day(Sept 16th).

Missionary Kid Spirit Week: Crazy Holiday

Happy Valentine's Day!

Today is Crazy Holiday Day for MK Spirit Week over at Baptist Missionary Women (BMWs - get it! ;) ).  

There are so many great crazy holidays, it was impossible to pick just one.  So, we picked, just one month...February and tried to see how many crazy holidays we could fit in one picture. 

We managed fourteen crazy holidays celebrated in February.  Can you figure out which holidays we are celebrating today?  CLICK HERE to see a list of crazy February holidays and see if you can find all fourteen.  I'll post the answer sometime next week.

Learning to Read Again: Our Story of Dyslexia

As many of you may know from a previous post, on our last trip to the U.S our sweet sunshine girl was assessed for some reading difficulties she has been having.  The story of how this was provided for feels like a warm hug from above.  It amazes me how our heavenly Father watches over his little third culture kids even when their parents have no idea what is needed.

Today over at A Mama's Story I am sharing part of that story and some of the things we are beginning to learn.  CLICK HERE to continue reading about this part of our journey over at A Mama's Story.

MK Spirit Week

This week Baptist Missionary Women is hosting MK Spirit Week and MKs all over the world are joining the fun!  Yesterday was mustache day and today was crazy hair/hat day.  We didn't have time to join the fun yesterday, so we combined mustache day and crazy hair/hat day.

Means Academy: Life as it relates to books this week. {Oct 14-Oct 18}

This week the kids have been able to really relate to a few of the books they have read.  It is fun to see their eyes get big in realization that they can relate to that personally because they have first hand experience.  It makes the books seem to come alive a little bit.

They may not admit it, but even my older children can not resist the charm of Ladybug Girl in the series of books about Lulu and her adventures as LadyBug Girl by David Soman and Jacky Davis.  You can read it for free at WE GIVE BOOKS!  Haden was delighted when he discovered that Ladybug Girl had planted an avocado tree, just like him.
