Outside my window.... Well it's hard to tell, I really need to wash the downstairs windows! Another practice in patience! All in God's time.
To Live the Liturgical Year...
Today we celebrate The Feast of Saints Peter and Paul.
Catholic Culture states
"A moving custom is practiced in rural sections of the Alpine countries. On June 29, when the church bells ring the "Angelus" early in the morning, people step under the trees in their gardens, kneel down and say the traditional prayer the "Angel of the Lord." Having finished the prayer they bow deeply and make the sign of the cross, believing that on Saint Peter's Day the blessing of the Holy Father in Rome is carried by angels throughout the world to all who sincerely await it. "
I Am Thankful For...
My family and the gift of homeschooling. I'm so thankful I said yes to God's call!
One Of My Favorite Things...
Playing cards with my kids. Buck and Honeybee are loving Battle and Go Fish. The House Cat and Snuggle Bug are enjoying Hand and Foot and Rummy
I Am Creating...
My computer savvy husband helped me create a spreadsheet to organize my research for next years school books. It's been sooooo helpful. Thanks honey. I have a spreadsheet for each of the older girls. I have columns for Subject, Title, Curriculum, Price, Comments, Amazon/with shipping, Cath Swap. Looks like I'll be using a mix of CHC, Seton, Saxon, Emmanuel (MODG).
Can't wait to get the books ordered. Each of the girls sat with me and helped me to choose their curriculum. It was our first time to do it this way. It just reminded me of how they are getting older too quick!
My Picture Thought...
Buck playing cards with a good friend.
GO FISH!

How fun- I'd love to hear about you curriculum choices- how sweet of hubby to make you that spreadsheet! I'm so, so, so sorry to hear about the deaths of your grandmother and uncle- I will keep all your family (and your ill cousin) in my prayers.
