Since I know you are all as sucked into the miracle of beans growing in a jar as I am, I thought I'd share our latest growth. It is unbelievable how these things are literally growing noticeably every couple of hours. I've never watched anything grow this fast before. Now we're all just wondering what is going to happen. Obviously if they keep up this pace they will outgrow the jar before long. We're just hoping to see them start growing new beans first. Stay tuned!
Yesterday the
homeschool group at my church had the
privilege of helping with the Christmas Food Baskets. Our church will provide over 300 needy families with some wonderful packages of food and other useful things this Christmas. Our job yesterday was to assemble the boxes. I was so impressed with all of our kids. They worked so hard to put these boxes together, and I didn't hear any complaints other than being thirsty. It was a great project for them.
Bradley was a pro with the tape gun, and he LOVED having this responsibility!
Bailey spent most of her time slapping stickers on two sides of each box. But part of the time she was transporting boxes down the the deaf chapel hallway. This is what it looked like down there at one point.
These are just a few of the #1 boxes.
Here's our hard workers, ready to head over to Pump it Up for the rest of the party! Things like this remind me why homeschooling really is a blessing to our family. I love that my kids worked so hard to help others. At least for a few hours, Christmas wasn't about them, and that's a really good thing.
