Unity November KOM Sketch Challenge

Here is what I came up with for the Unity November KOM Sketch Challenge

Here is the template we needed to follow for this challenge:

Miracles Abound

Do you stop to thank God for the small miracles that happen in your everyday life? Some big, some small.... they are all around, if we take the time to look for them.  Today's miracle is brought to you by Sean, my middle son.

What is it with boys and writing? Sean is quiet in his protests, the other two are not.  Sean had one Merchant of Venice essay looming over his head for months. It was the only thing keeping him from completing 9th grade.  He finally finished it today in about an hour. He wrote the outline on the way to the range and then wrote the 5 paragraphs in an hour once we got back home.

REALLY? He hasn't been able to write this in months... and all of a sudden, he gets it done in just over an hour? It has to be God, right? Because surely, a child who was able to write wouldn't leave this last assignment undone for months and months, right?

Unity Opportunity Mini Challenge

I made this card for the Unity Opportunity Challenge

The challenge is to make a mini.   a mini card (4x4 or smaller) - a mini layout (6x6 or smaller) - a mini book - etc.

Captain's Log: Stardate 65334.3 Feast of All Saints

Captain's Log: Stardate 65334.3 Feast of All Saints:  I entered a strange dimension where my children forgot the daily homeschooling routine. It was as if they'd never done a day of school in their lives. Thankfully, I followed Cupid, our fearless cat, through a portal back into our own dimension. I was only gone 5 minutes in our current dimension, but spent an hour in the alternate dimension. The children in this dimension are much better behaved. I wonder if they were warned somehow....maybe Valentine found the portal first....

While quite unruly, the children in the other dimension were much better at taking their pills. 

You know you are a Catholic family when the night before the Feast of All Saints one of your children says, "Are they picking up the trash tomorrow? It is a holiday, it is All Saints Day!"   Sean was serious as could be.  Little did he know that not everyone celebrates All Saints Day......  

Happy All Saints Day, y'all!
