Ty's Word

When I sat down to update my blog yesterday, I thought for sure I had already scheduled this weeks word. Much to my surprise, I have gone through my scheduled posts and needed a word. I put the call out to any and all (actually just my two older children), and Ty was the first to find a word for me. I am thinking there will be those among us that will know this word, but I thought I would use it anyway.

I enjoyed reading today's guesses! BB, you make me laugh :-) Thanks for joining our fun, Ben!

According to A Beka Book: Bible Doctrines for Today:

anthropomorphisms: ascribing to God human features to help us as simple human beings to begin to understand God's feelings toward us and His working in our lives.

The older children learned about this during their Theology section. It was referring to the Bible's expressions such as God's "hand", His "back" or His "face."

I'm back...Did you miss me?

I have been so bad about blogging lately.  I'm sorry.  I am always disappointed when I go to "my blogs" and they have not been updated and yet for the last couple of weeks, that is how my blog has been. 

 
So, if there are any of you still left who actually check my blog.  Thank you! 

I missed last weeks "Spring" update.  If I remember correctly, it was cold and nasty and I wasn't too much in a spring frame of mind. But never fear, Spring is back as well.

The grass is getting green, the trees are starting to break out their buds, the willow trees are turning green and it was my birthday.  Yup, Spring is here!

I will post about my birthday soon! Happy Monday!

April's First Word

Here we are into the fourth month of the year.  Is it just me, or is the time flying by?  Let me know what you think!

Today's word is brought to you by the  publishers of A.C.E. World Geography.  Enjoy!

~ COPRA~

And for those who are interested in learning Latin, this came in the mail and I thought I would share it with you.

Sorry, I couldn't resist :-)

~~ANSWER~~

Copra: The dried meat of coconuts.   You were really close momma!  Nice try!

Cold, Rain, Wind, Snow

Nothing really out of the ordinary for Upstate New York in April. We were able to watch the backyard fill with water this afternoon, which is always fun!

I have been really busy with getting school reports done and report cards complete. Thank goodness everything is done! At least for the next 6 weeks, then they will be done for the year! Woo-Hoo!

In addition to school paperwork, we have been busy trying to get our new mud-room finished. The ceiling and walls have been painted. The lights have been put up and are wired. The cement board and some tile are down. We also were blessed to find bench/cubbies! The best part is we were able to get one of them for 50% off! Come tomorrow, we will have another coupon, and we will be able to save at least 40% on the next one! YAY! Now, I will have to either paint or stain them. Oh well, that shouldn't be too bad. I am getting to be a pro at staining. :-) When we get it "done", I will post some pictures.

I guess that is all I have for now. Have a nice Palm Sunday, we are having a dinner and church tomorrow and you all know how much I enjoy them!
