Our Homeschool Week in Review

Last week, in our Homeschool Week in Review, I shared how we had had a minor cold. Well, this week, we had a major cold. It's been a bad one.I'm pretty sure it wasn't the flu. It was most definitely the worst cold we've had all winter. And we've had a lot. sigh....

So, this homeschool week was pretty much a bust. Here's the picture I shared for Wordless Wednesday this week:

3 days + 4 sick kids + 2 sick parents = one trashed living room!

Pretty scary, huh?!

We are finally on the mend. The living room, however, is not. yet! I insisted that we all go out and sit on the porch in the sun for at least 15 minutes this afternoon. I read aloud some of the Purim chapter of Jewish Holidays and Festivals A Young Persons Guide to the Stories, Practices and Prayers of Jewish Celebrations. We also started reading Misty of Chincoteague.

Here's the kids spread out on the front porch:

They decided they didn't want to show their faces. The little one dragged his pillow and blanket outside. lol

After we came in, 3 of the kids decided to go back out. One decided to draw a picture of her sister. It took some doing, but she finally agreed I could share it here. I think she did great!

Did you know you can play Oregon Trail and Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego on Facebook? When your sitting around sick, you find out all kinds of things.  :)

Left-Over Stir Fry

Stir-Fry is a great way to use up leftovers.  I'm feeding a lot of hungry people, so you probably won't need to make as much as I do. Here's how I make it.

Tonight, I used: 

2 packages of frozen stir-fry veggies - You can use whatever left over vegetables you want. We rarely have leftover vegetables, so I like to keep these frozen veggies on hand.

I cooked these veggies in a tablespoon or so of oil. If you using less veggies, you can use less oil.

Because I have to make a lot, and I don't have a skillet that large, I take the veggies out, then cook the rest of the ingredients.

8 cups left over rice - How does one have 8 cups of left over rice?! I plan ahead, and make extra rice when we're having rice for supper. I also like to keep cooked rice in the freezer.

3 cups of cooked chicken - what ever meat you have left-over, use less or more, whatever you have
1 tablespoon of oil 


I heat the rice and meat in oil until warm.

When they are warm, I push the rice and meat to one side. then I scrambled 3 eggs. If your using less rice, use less eggs. You can leave the eggs out, but they make a nice filler, especially if you don't have a lot of leftover meat.

Once the eggs are cooked, mix the eggs into the rice. Add  Soy Sauce to taste. I used about 1/3 of a cup tonight, as that's all I had.

If your making a smaller amount, your vegetables will be mixed in with the rice. I have to mix the veggies and the rice mixture in a large bowl.

We love stir-fry, and it's a great way to use leftovers. What's great about stir-fry, is the family doesn't even recognize the left-overs. It's a new dish to them. And I can feed lots of people for very little.

Bible Memorization Verse 5

It's March 1st, and time for a new Bible Memory verse:



When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; And through the rivers, they shall not overflow you. When youwalk through the fire, you shall not be burned, Nor shall the flame scorch you.  Isaiah 43:2
