I had to take a picture of her this morning because she looked very nice in her Chapel attire for today!
******* ******* ******* ******* *******
Isabel said they took 2 math tests today. She said they were easy.
Today for Chapel the speaker was Pastor Holden. Isabel couldn’t remember what he talked about and I wouldn’t find out until Friday, when the campus newsletter comes out.

It’s Marvelous Monday! Which means All-School Open.
It was cold out this morning when we left for school, it was only 27 degrees out! However it did warm up as the day went on and it turned out to be a lovely day!
I had to scrape the frost off the windshield! Surprising to me. We were just talking about how mild our winter has been just yesterday. I haven’t had to scrape the windows on the spork maybe only a handful of times this winter. I like that!
******* REMINDER!!…NEXT SUNDAY WE “SPRING” AHEAD 1 HOUR!! *******
This week’s Bible verse is…
“If anything is excellent or praiseworthy – think about such things.” – Philippians 4:8b
******* ******* ******* ******* *******
Today was NOT a good day again for Isabel. I won’t go into details but this time her punishment will help her to remember to think before doing it again. We are still at a loss as to WHY she did it. I’m praying that this doesn’t become a habit for her. Because she was trying to hide (she knew it was wrong and yet did it anyway) what she did wrong and nothing was said when it took place on Friday and it wasn’t brought to our attention until today, Monday.
Classwork…
Today the class went into the gym to fly their flying disc’s. Isabel was disappointed that her’s didn’t go very far when it was her turn to fly her own. She said it was to heavy for the air to lift into the air. I think she just needs some practice on how to throw.

We are getting new tires tomorrow. After shopping around Gino got a price match at Walmart for tires he found online that saved us from paying way to much at the tire store. We ended up saving almost $400! Way to save!
Today is Thankful Thursday and it’s P.E. with Mrs. S.
During P.E. today, they played pac-man and a new game with hula hoops. Isabel couldn’t remember the name but she thought it was fun.
Today was Pastor Shawn’s birthday! All the students went outside (in the rain) his office window to serenade him with a birthday song! It was great (and very loud!)!
Recess was in the gym today due to the down pour of rain outside all day. Even my little preschoolers stayed indoors today!

It’s been two weeks exactly since we lost our truck to fire and just this morning we had a scare with our car!
Gino was heading into Seattle for a meeting with a client, when he hears a popping sound. As he pulls off the exit to leave the freeway, a noise from the tires causes him to get out and take a look! The rear tire blew out!
So after taking it to the tire shop, it looks like we will have to buy 4 new tires for the spork!
Makes me want to just scream! I’m not going to though. I know that this is an attack on us for beginning FPU (Financial Peace University with Dave Ramsey). I know it is!
We begin the class and two weeks later we get half of our baby step 1 complete. Two days later, our truck is gone! Two weeks later (today), we need new tires on the spork! Satan isn’t liking us for taking control over our money and getting real peace about our finances. He’s mean! He’s nasty!
We are not giving up! We will continue finding financial peace…

Today is Wonderful Wednesday and it’s music class with Mr. G and computer lab with Mrs. T.
During music class with Mr. G, they sang all their favorite songs. Isabel’s favorite one lately has been “Oh! Susanna“.
While she was in the computer lab, Isabel completed 3 AR tests and got her “Rising Reader Level 1″ award (she told me there are 5 levels)! The school is getting closer and closer to their 50 million words for the year. The total words so far read are: 18,241,025!
This coming, Friday the whole school will be participating in the “Read the Most“, the students will collectively try to break the record for the number of books read and AR tests taken on a single day!
After school, Isabel was again in the after-school care. Gino didn’t get her picked up until 6 p.m. They both arrived home around 6:30 or so. We got homework finished quickly before sitting down to eat dinner together and then it was off to bed. I missed them both today…

Today is Terrific Tuesday with Chapel and library.
Since Daddy has a business meeting today, he will be taking Isabel to school. I also have a meeting this afternoon, so I will be able to pick her up from school, with some help from a friend! Thank you!
Because she was in after-school care, we didn’t even discuss school activities. So I have no idea how her day at school actually went. We came home, started homework, ate dinner, finished homework, and then it seemed like it was time for bed!
Today was “Family Chapel“; where she gets together with other classmates (of various ages) in a small group and that group is lead by a 6th grader(s). Like an adult Bible study.
In “Family Chapel” they talked about Rahab and the spies.
Library book for this week. Sounds like an interesting adventure!
She told me she already has it read!
During library she finished choosing her book quickly and got to do an activity while waiting for her classmates to finish.

an orange face, braces on it’s teeth and a mustache!
