"I am not a homemaker because I had too little ambition or education to make anything else of myself. No—I am a homemaker because God has given me the infinite honour of being a wife, and I delight in employing every ability that He has equipped me with in this glad career. I LOVE BEING HOME."

Summer is here!

Well at least that is what my calender is saying. The weather around here still looks and feels like spring.
We are done school for this term and Isaiah will be doing grade one in september(maybe late august, not too sure yet. It will be our first full homeschooling year.
My laptop is on its death bed and I will not be getting this new one for at least another month.

So with all that said I will be taking a vacation from my computer to spend more time being a housewife and reorganizing my home and my life. I will be back in september or august(whenever we start school).

See you in a few months and Have a great summer!

Blessings

It has been all thunder,lightning and lots of rain around here and as a result we did not get to go out to the park. Lightning and kites just don't really mix so we had to improvise.

We had a indoor picnic on our family room floor. Soup,sandwiches,brownies and sweet tarts filled our tummies. The kids really thought that it was fun and Deo was actually quite content,( as he is not the biggest fan of mosquitoes). When you picnic on your family room floor it is much easier to avoid them.

Today is a cleaning day! The house has becoming quite the pig sty lately; as we have been spending the greater part of our days outside.

Father's Day is tomorrow and the children and I are planning a picnic and kite flying at the park down the road. We bought a very large kite at Costco last week and still haven't even broken the seal. We will be using that one and some homemade kites.


You can make kites too! I found a bunch of tutorials yesterday.

This one is fast and cheap to make.

Here is a diamond kite.

This one is if you would like something a bit more fancy; a tetrahedral kite
