A Very Tinkerbell Birthday

While we were in Georgia we had a joint birthday party for Addison and Mya.  Since their birthdays are a week apart, they might be sharing parties more in the future!  I was geared up for a Barbie birthday that Addison had been asking for, but once she saw a Tinkerbell cake pan at the store, she changed her mind.   Mya was pretty agreeable. :) 


My mom and I have made a lot of cakes, but this one proved to be a little difficult!

Addison, Lilly, Veronica and Gabi had a little pre-party - dressed up as princesses, painting nails, and putting on temporary tatoos.

When Mya got up from her nap, she had no interest in being Tinkerbell!

With our girls' birthdays so close to Christmas, presents get a little overwhelming.  Chad and I really had no idea what to get Mya.  We came up with the idea to get her a recordable story book and have everyone at the party record a page.  It turned out so cute and Mya absolutely loves it.  She wants to listen to it everyday and she calls out people's name as they read.  

Our friend Kat had given Addison a lantern (like in Tangled) to light at her birthday party.  Unfortunately it was too windy to light it, but Chad and Mario managed to round up some little fountain fireworks.  What you don't see is the fire that burned a pretty large piece of grass...yikes!

Curriculum Review 2017-18

                                  Curriculum Review 2017-18 I believe I started last year's post by saying "This was the most difficult school year to date." While overall it was a good year, it was different kind of difficult.  A deployment and chronic mastitis were replaced with starting a new Co-Op and writing a book.   While I don't know that I would recommend writing a book in 10 months while homeschooling, during one of the busiest seasons of your husband's job, I am thankful for the year we had.  The past year brought more personal growth for me than any other year.  Homeschooling truly is a refining fire and I am thankful for the lessons we all learn in the process.   Here’s a roundup of what we used this year and how it worked for us: Addison – 5 th  Grade Bible, History, Literature, Geography & Writing – Tapestry of Grace, Year 2, Dialectic...

Strength

Blogs are interesting.  Some share decorating ideas, some political philosophy, some day to day happenings and many more pictures of family and friends.  We keep everyone updated on the fun events and happy occasions of our everyday lives.  While some people take it a bit to far, I think most of us are not always so quick to share those not so happy moments though...  The moments that we fail completely as a parent.  The moments that we are to busy to stop and help.  The moments we sit in silence and wonder why.  The moments when life is just flat out hard.  In a few weeks I will watch my husband go off to war.   In a few weeks I will have to help a little 3 year old mind grasp how long a year is and how far away daddy will be.   I just found out this morning that my aunt passed away.   Next week the list of names I know on headstones at Arlington will get a little bit longer.  I ache for my friends whose husbands won'...
