The Creations Museum

The Creations Museum

Us and some friends of ours a few months back went to the
Creations Museum, and we had a wonderful time. The
knowledge that Ken Hamm has is amazing. The art work
that they have done is great. We went when it was still cold,
I would like to go back again while it is worm, they have some
landscaping that is beautiful, but when we were there none it
had bloomed yet. Anyhow, here are so pictures to give you an
idea of what they have there. If you have already been there
I would love to hear your opinion on it.

Schedule

I have been working on a new schedule for homeschooling/daily schedule. Sense the summer break we have not going by a schedule and to be honest, it has stressed me out a little. I am not one that has to go min by min, but I do like to have a little something to go by. So for the past week I have been cutting out some clutter and cleaning house. Schedule wise, this is what I have:

6:15 Mommy and Daddy wake up, have our Bible time,

Prayer time, and get breakfast,tea's and coffee going.

7:00 Kids wake up,get dressed, make beds, and come in to eat

breakfast. After breakfast the two older children have their

cleaning duties that they have to tend to.

Mean while, Mommy and Hunter will be trying to get Daddy

in order to head out the door for work.

8:00 We kiss Daddy goodbye as he is heading out the door with his

coffee. Then, the kids and I go about our morning duties,

cleaning the bathroom, sweeping and mopping living room and kitchen

and folding and putting away laundry.

9:00 School Time, not real sure how I will manage yet, sense 3 will

be sitting at the table now. Bible, Prayer, math, reading and

spelling, and every other day crafts and history projects.

12:00 Lunch Break, and cleaning the mess up after words.

1:00 Nap time for the little ones, and free time for the older ones.

3:00 Clean up toy time, and time to start prepping for the supper

that was on the menu, and getting the house in order for when

Daddy returns home. * important- house is clean and silent

for when Daddy gets home to be able to relax from a hard day

at work trying to support his family.

5:00 Set the table, and make sure everything is in its place.

5:45 Daddy returns, this is the highlight of our day, we miss him

when he leaves, and love it when he comes home.

6:00 We eat supper together, quickly clean up working together, while

Daddy relaxes in the living room, or checking his mail.

6:30 Little ones take baths

7:00 Older one's takes showers

7:30 Family time to do whatever, bible devotions, prayer, reading

stories together, and just playing around and enjoying one

another.

I would love for others to give me an example of their schedules

I always need ideas

One of the things that I mentioned about Chloe was
that she likes to play preach. I got a sneaky snap shop

This is where I spend a lot of my time. I like to cook and entertain others. When I cook I try to make it pretty and look like the pictures in the cook books ( although most times I fail at it ).

Cooking With Chloe

Cooking With Chloe

Chicken Pot Pie

4 Chicken Breast
1 Box Pie Crust
1 Bag Peas and Carrots

Take your 4 chicken breast and put them in a pot to boil.
While the chicken is boiling, we cleaned the the carrots
because these ones were fresh from the garden. Most times
I use the frozen peas and carrots. When done, Chloe rolled
out the frozen pie crust ( both packages in the box ). I forgot
to post the picture with the top pie crust. Grease the bottom
of the baking dish , and then place one of the pie crust in the
bottom of the baking dish. Don't for get to clean up your mess
as you go, it makes things a lot easier in the end. After the
chicken is done boiling, place it on a tray to be shredded. Keep
your broth in the pan and thicken with corn starch or flour.
Shred your chicken and chop the carrots. Place the mixture
into pot and let cook on low for 15 to 20 min. Mean while heat
the oven to 350 degrees. When done cooking place mixture in
baking dish. Place the other pie crust on top. Place into oven
for 1 hr or until pie crust is golden brown. I always make a
little extra to freeze for a easy meal.

This has been cooking with Chloe. Enjoy !!!!!!

This is Chester ( Chess ) and he is a Cocker Spaniel. I am sorry I am not able to get a more recent photo, I guess we have neglected taking recent pictures of him, or I can't find them in the thousands of pictures that we do have.

This is Tat Tat ( daddy ) night time buddy, every night, sometime in the middle of the night he sneaks into our bed and snuggles with Tat Tat ( I don't mind cause on occasions I get a little of snuggle time too ). He also gets very upset if he does not get a hug and kiss from Tat Tat.

We are also a homeschooling family, new at it and learning as we go.

Daily Goals: To put God first before anything I say or do, and try to have a good testimony for the Lord at all times. Try to raise my children for the Lord and to be good Godly children. I also like to have the house organized and clean by staying on time with my schedule. By the end of the night my goal is to be able to sit down and relax with everything done and enjoy family devotions and reading out loud with the family.

Life Goals: To be as Christ like, and to be a good testimony for family and friends. To be a good help meet to my husband. I am praying to raise good Godly children for the lord. I am praying that they Love, Honor, and Obey the Lord in everything they say and do. I would like to see all of my grandchildren praising his name also.

Things I enjoy doing : I like reading, cooking, entertaining guest, watching my children play and grow, cleaning, trying to be the help meet to my husband that I should, I like dinners looking as pretty as you see them in the cook books, crafts, going on walks, and traveling.
