Renai Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 I was thinking 10 OT, 3 NT. It depends on how long are the OT chapters. Some are quite long and unwieldy. When I was young, I read through the entire OT. When I was in a Bible study a few years ago, a Messianic Jew told me I knew more about the OT than she did. :lol: I've yet to read all of the NT. I believe there are plans that help break up the readings as OT, NT, and something from Psalms. I'd have to google for it, or I'll check my Bible app (Youversion).

El... Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 My ds, age 3, will not eat dinners. He sits there and makes articulate suggestions for other things he might like, but will not even taste the food before him. "Maybe I could have some macawoni and cheese?" "You already ate all that up, son." "Maybe I could have some fwench fwies?" "You ate all those up at lunch." He howls when desert is served to his sister and not to him, but it doesn't make him eat. He waits until breakfast, when he will eat half a box of Cheerios in a sitting. Aaaargh. It was really good chicken, too, but no. I'm open to suggestions, if you have any great ideas!

ikslo Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 Youngest and I are playing Jenga. :D We went mini-golfing last weekend, and as we were leaving the guy in the shack pointed us towards the "more games in the back for free." So we walked around back to check it out and there was a giant outdoor Jenga game! So cool. If we ever win the lottery and buy a house at the beach, we are definitely going to have Giant Jenga. DH just sat and watched while DS and I played. The stack of 2x4 blocks was over DS's head by the end off each game, and I was petrified that it was going to collapse on him. But we kept playing anyway because who doesn't like Giant Jenga??!!!??? ETA: Myy y z f and x keys are still sticking. Grrr 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMJ Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 I think it is calcium, and they can feed the shells back to the chickens. Ewwww. Thank you. Unfortunately for the source of the eggs, I am NOT going to pass this nugget of wisdom along to those neighbors. They are now on the family black list. I wish I had known sooner. MIL and FIL have helped these neighbors numerous times with big (bigger than they needed to be) projects around their place and taking care of their animals (lots of large and small animals on 5 acres) while they were gone. MIL and FIL had just done yet another round of caring for their animals, and it was even more detailed and more demanding than before. When they came back and they proceeded to complain about how the job was done, though all animals were alive, well fed, well watered, sheltered, and healthy. They might be mad about one comment one of the teen grandkids made as he was over there helping MIL and FIL to care for certain critters -- it turns out they have cameras EVERYWHERE that capture sound as well as video, and they monitor them constantly when they are gone. One or more of those cameras might also be set to view across property lines, because they have always been a bit too aware of what projects FIL had going on at his own place. They also were signed up to return the pet-sitting favor when MIL and FIL were going to be gone, but the day before (not at any time in the proceeding weeks) gave MIL and FIL a "pet-sitting contract" that they wanted signed basically giving them the right to do as they please, not be held accountable for anything that might happen, and have MIL and FIL fit the bill for anything they might decide to do. The so-called contract was so outlandish, as was their request for MIL and FIL to vacate their own property according to the pet-sitting neighbor's schedule and be gone before they (the pet-sitting neighbors) came over to handle the animals, we suspect that they don't actually want to return the favor and instead wanted to get MIL and FIL to let them out of it. Well, they got their wish. MIL and FIL made other plans with another neighbor, who simply said, "Sure, be happy to! Enjoy your trip and I'll keep you apprised of anything that happens." MIL and FIL will not do any more favors for the stinky neighbors. They will no longer cut up fallen trees for them, or build chicken palaces or mend fences or help in the very many and sundry ways these folks have requested so far. They treated MIL and FIL with suspicion after begging for their help yet again, reneged on returning the favor, and generally have been very high maintenance neighbors with no benefit. And I won't tell those foolish know-it-alls why their chickens lay eggs with such weak shells. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lots of little ducklings Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 Love it, Renai. It's so reassuring to me, too -- play has been so important to my children (especially Ds7) and yet I often guilt myself into thinking I'm not "rigorous" enough. But I guess I follow a philosophy of play for early childhood (and even later childhood). I'm so glad I'm able to homeschool! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
