HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ALL MY CANADIAN FRIENDS!!!

Okay, in honour of a fun day… I have a completely frivelous, nothing at all related to homeschooling, parenting or anything post… Enjoy! :o)

What Your Pizza Reveals

Your appetite is pretty average. You don’t go overboard - but you don’t deprive yourself either.You aren’t particularly picky about pizza. It’s so good… how could you be? You fit in best in the Western part of North America. You like food that’s traditional and well crafted. You aren’t impressed with “gourmet” foods.You are dependable, loyal, and conservative with your choices. You are deep and thoughtful. You should consider traveling to Paris. The stereotype that best fits you is guy or girl next door. Hey, there’s nothing wrong with being average.

What Does Your Pizza Say About You?

Blessings!

Well…can it possibly be that most cherished day of couples everywhere?  Women LOVE Valentine’s day.. we can be silly crazy romantic with our men and they aren’t allowed to roll their eyes!  *Grin* 

Men, on the other hand, generally have a different reactions… most look at Valentine’s Day with the same deer-in-the-headlights look they get on other special days… like birthdays, anniversaries… etc.  Heehee.. but we love them anyhow, right? *wink*

SO… with nothing much else to say, school is going great.  We’ve recently reorganized the house to clear a room to be a “study” in which we have two desks, a table and a bookcase so that Kenzi has a quiet (kinda) space to work in.  It’s helped so much, and she’s been SO much more productive since we started here.  Praise God!!!

Here are some little links I think you might be interested in this week… and next:

Or why not get together some of your kids’ homeschool friends for a Valentine’s Party - http://momentsamidmesses.blogspot.com/2007/02/valentines-party.html

Whatever way you decide to celebrate… remember, God Loves You!  Talk about a Valentine - He gave His ONLY SON to die so that if we believe in that sacrifice we could spend all of Eternity with Him.  I can’t imagine a better way to spend Eternity than with someone who loves me THAT much! :o)

Have a Love-Filled Day!
Shannon
