Weekend Wrap-Up

Mean Ol' Mama is about finished teaching 1 of the 2 classes at the College. Teresa lettered student names on cedar bookmarks that the boys made as a memory for MOM's students. We had a fun day Friday at the homeschool meeting. A friend came home with the boys, and Poppins took them all down to the pond for a swim. A bit cold. Yep. Stennes climbed a tree to attach a rope.
Wheeee!!!
Anders participated in the 4H CPA competition in Americus on Saturday. He presented in the International category and won first place among about 18 other students. He really worked hard on memory work and posters. He's a good kid.
Stennes welded up a grappling hook for conquering trees and other tall edifices. He's all boy.
Poppins planted tomatoes, banana peppers, green peppers, and cucumbers this afternoon. The weather is beautiful.
Stennes and Josiah brought down a picnic table for Mean Ol' Mama that Pop made. We're trying to spruce up the place bit by bit and make it a home where everyone feels comfortable and at peace.
They had to make sure the new table was going to "fit". Gotta love it.
"Mira, Mami! Yo tengo una pelota! [Look, Mommy! I have a ball!]
Stennes gave The Girl a ride up into the tree. She was thrilled!

He plants on his knees and prays that he sees both a harvest of fruit and of souls...
Josiah and Anders took the shotguns out for target practice and did a fine job.
Stennes wrapped up a happy, peaceful day for us by treating us to homemade ice cream in the churn he bought at a thrift store a while back. Sweet, vanilla, cold, and yummy...Perfect ending for a sweet day...
Preaching tomorrow and the beginning of one of the busiest weeks this year. Brethren, pray for us...
