October and November are our family's busiest months. So, why did I schedule all the children's physicals, dental and eye appointments in those months? Well, umm long story. But if I've ever even thought of reaching Super Mom status, these 2 months make we very willing to hand that trophy over to someone else. Also, while we wouldn't trade the last 2 months for any amount of peace and quiet, it has confirmed to me why we don't go at this pace all the time. Manners and suppers around the table have slipped. With a slip in those two areas, other things follow. The children are fussing at each other more and are much more high strung and hyper. It confirms my thinking about the effect of over stimulation on children. There's only 1 thing on our schedule for next week. Yeah!!!
I do have so much catch up on here, to get the photos up I've promised. OK, it's been so long I don't remember how to make the photo uploading process work backwards, so I'll do them as separate posts.
Oh, above the children were drawing or painting, using their mouths only. First we looked at some of Joni Eareckson Tada's artwork. We have enjoyed her writing and singing around our house for several years( Hymns For a Child's Heart is one of our favorites), so it was so much fun to look at her art and try Joni's "special" technique. Thanks mom2cherubs for this great idea.
missed your updates...october and november was like that for us, too!
