Yesterday and today

Yesterday:

Spiritual:We worked on our memory scripture:Abraham 3:22. We discussed premortal life-I think we need to read the gospel principles book on that.

Sharing what's mine: We were supposed to start AFrican and ancient American myths. I have been reading Clash of Cultures. I decided to talk about oral histories and how it doesn't work! It just doesn't last. We talked about our favorite family vacations-arches and the beach this summer. We couldn't remember what happened every day. We talked about events in our extended family and we couldn't always remember the month!

We decorated journals and talked about the importance of writing our histories. Very little actual writing took place, so we need to set aside time for that.

Today

Spiritual:family devotional with dad ran into learning time-so that was that.

Kalani and I started working out her life skills learning-we focused on cooking. We wrote down the basic things she needs to learn before she is 12. Of course everyone wanted to write theri lifeskills cooking chart...hopefully the task will be a little too daunting for them to continue (because if all four older children start working on it, it will be daunting for me!) We identified 7 main courses, 5 breads, some desserts, appetizers and breakfasts for each child to learn.

Sharing what's mine: We focused on family schedules today. This was much needed. Our kitchen time chart was destroyed and our fhe chart had died. We worked out the laundry schedule. We still need a daily rhythms chart...so that will come later. Lots of writing and measuring and coloring and discussion of what we need to do.
