Sorry I haven't blogged at all this past week. It was super busy! Church work day all day on Saturday, then a busy day at church on Sunday, then we got sick...yuk! Wednesday we took a sick day after I had started school and was getting really inpatient with the kids. I thought it would be better to just lay down and let the kids play than be snippy all day with them. They had fun. BUT that meant that today I had two days of school. We got it all done though and it wasn't too bad at all.
So this post is actually NOT about my busy, sick week...I thought I'd share a great little "Family Time" schedule that the kids got in Sunday School this past Sunday.
March 16-22 - Washing Feet
Before bath time, lather your child's feet with shaving cream or soap suds. As you touch each toe, name ways to care for others.
March 23-29 - Alive and Well
Go outside and look for signs of sping - flowers, grass, and baby animals. Collect several sping "treasures" such as leaves and flower petals. Help your child glue these things to a piece of paper. Say, "Jesus came back to life in the spring."
March 30-April 5 - Caught You!
Look for an opportunity this week to reward your child's obedience. "Catch" your child doing something obedient, such as picking up her toys. Praise the good behavior and provide a special reward. Say, "God is pleased when we obey."
April 6-12 - Choice Ingredients
Allow your child to help plan the menu for a special meal for your family. Encourage him to choose an item from each of the food groups. Then take him shopping for the right ingredients for the meal. Explain that people make many choices, such as what we will eat or what we will wear. But other choices are even more important. Talk about the choices that Jonah made and how they affected him.
Happy Easter!!!!!!!

Your week sounds a bit like ours. We also had a very busy weekend with a church Retreat, then had company for a week as well as several of us (me included) getting sick. We are on the mend now and it is so nice to get back to normal.
Love the ideas. I can't wait to use a few. Thanks for posting them. Hope you're feeling better. I've had to let school go, too, for the sake of the kids' psychological well-being :)
