Thimble Thoughts: An Eggcellent Night

The weather here in our state is really beginning to warm up. It's been beautiful the last few days. Yesterday was no exception.

When we met for SIGMA last night, Brother RJ's theme was centered around eggs.

We had an egg toss. Some of the eggs were very difficult to break, but eventually they were all broken, thanks to our NFL wanna-bes.

Justin W decided it was more fun to ride the big wheel than toss an egg.

The second game was a relay race. You carried one egg on a spoon to your team mate, placing the egg on their spoon to be carried back.

Brother RJ's sermon was on the Five Eggs of Jesus. Now, his sermon actually had NOTHING to do with eggs, but rather the EX's of Jesus. Here is his outline of that sermon:
Luke 2:11
*He is our EXact Saviour
Phil 2:9
*He is the Saviour that is EXalted
I Peter 2:21
*He is the EXample we should follow
I Timothy 1:14
*He is the Saviour EXceeding our expectations.
Psalm 8:1
*He is an EXcellent Saviour!

And because He is all these things, He can not be these three:
He can not be our EXcuse for not accepting Him.
He can not be EXchanged. Once you're saved, you're always saved.
He can not EXpire. He will be there for all eternity.

Very good sermon, Brother RJ!

Today was our Homeschool co-op meeting. The kids did their pledges, sang songs, quoted Bible verses, and Brother RJ preached our Chapel service.

For the older boy's art, Mrs. Rebecca had them draw a map. She was hoping they would be drawn to do a Midiaeval type map. A couple of them did do that. Caleb chose to do an overview of a Japanese city. They had to do a legend for their map also.

Harrison's age group made wallets. He liked this project.

I loved Naomi's intense facial expression while she sewed her wallet together.

And Hannah's art class made these tissue paper flowers. Are they not adorable??

Justin C was the only one having a birthday in our group this month, so this cake, made by Mrs. Pam, was all his.....to be shared, of course!

Isaac was trying to put his socks back on. I got tickled watching him wiggle his little toes. HA!

Justin C was sick when we did our Science Fair so he did his report on lighting today and showed a picture slideshow of different lightning strikes. Some of them were beautiful and some of them were just scary looking. The kids enjoyed seeing the different types of lightning.

This mom of 6 little ones was giving her eldest son kisses, which he thought was too girly!!! He is allllllllll boy! LOL

Here's the youngest of that bunch. Is he not BEAUTIFUL??????

Joseph was given an apple to eat while Brother Tim was giving a talk on his police dog and his brother Isaac enjoyed a soft sugar cookie. But eventually, they decided the grass was sweeter on the other side and traded snacks. That was funny.

We went outside so Brother Tim could show us how obedient his dog was and how he could find whatever it was that was hidden. He found marijuana that Brother Tim hid in an old tire and also drugs that Brother Tim hid under an old oil tank.

Brother Tim taught us a LOT about his job and his partner. Yes, his partner. Malachi the police dog is a certified police officer with his own badge!

He was very obedient and seemed like a very sweet dog, but he knows his job and can be aggressive when he is supposed to be! Needless to say, the children were not to pet him, they were to respect him from a distance.

Brother Tim took Malachi around the corner while Nicole threw Brother Tim's keys as far out on the ball field as she could. Malachi did a grid pattern on the field until he found the keys and then he laid down next to them, which is his way of telling Brother Tim he's found something.
