RainDrop Reflections

Wow can you believe the public school year is over?! Boy did it fly by.

We took this week off from school ourselves and just played a bit. Next week is back the routine. However we did enjoy just a laid back, whatever happens, go with the flow kind of week.

We had a wonderful time on Monday with family celebrating and remembering those who have given the highest price for our freedom. I was given the opportunity to explain the holiday to our kids from around the world. Which in turn made me really think about what these brave men and women died for us. To stop and think that for us to have the opportunity to homeschool our kids, raise them up in the knowledge and understanding of the Lord, to vote for our leaders, to even have the opportunity to have a family the size and how we feel we are being led, all of this comes from those who fought and even died during so many conflicts and wars. It humbles me to know that others laid down their lives for us. Thank you to those who fought and died for me and my family to our so many freedoms.

Tuesday was spent getting things picked up and cleaned up from the weekend and getting ready for the new mattress The Man of the House bought us. Our delivery time was not until 6-9pm. Good grief I had no idea they did that kind of stuff that late! Ba bo houng did not have school that day as she did not have to take her English final. It was fun to have her hang around for a while. The Man of the House enjoyed the Mavs game at least until they lost!



Wednesday Thaly was finished with school for the year, but Ba bo houng had to go. But other than that it was a pretty quite day!

Thursday we had a real treat. Grandma came to see us. We have not seen her since Easter. I know that is really not that long but we all really enjoy when she comes or we get to go see her and Papa. We spent the morning at home then went to Hobby Lobby when the kids from around the world got home. I am helping the girls make a scrapbook about their time in the USA. So we went shopping for the book and a few special items to go with it.

Friday was a rather busy day. Mrs.T, who is Snoopy's helper, brought her grandsons Little T, baby T, her daughter the Divine Miss J, and two of her nieces. WOW what a full house and so much fun! The Divine Miss J took all the kids to the pool at about 1:30. They were there the rest of the day! They only came home long enough to get some snacks and drinks when they ran out of what they took! The finally got home to stay about 5:30. They had so much fun but they were so tired and water logged!


I took the kids from around the world to a scrapbook store Friday night. We got there about 4:30 and were there until MIDNIGHT! That is so past my bedtime, but we really enjoyed our time together! However Thaly and I both have seemed to get a sore throat. We both have felt puny since Friday boo hoo.

Saturday was quiet again. Thaly and I have just been taking meds and resting trying not to give the sore throat to anyone else. But Snoopy had a blast that afternoon with Mrs R, Ashlyn's helper. She took Snoopy and Little T to her house to play with her son in thier new TREE HOUSE!!!

We were supposed to get family pictures done today, but I am not sure Thaly and I are up to it. We will most likely stay home and maybe work on the scrapbooks some more. Have a relaxing day with the family.

Oh I forgot to tell you about our new bed. The Temperpedic is AWSOME! I am loving it and so is the Man of the House. He says his back is not bothering him quite as much in the mornings. That is seems to be improveing some every day!
