This is WACKY WEEK here at Blogger Friend School!  Everything is wacky fun!  This week YOU, the student, get to share something of your choice that is little “Wacky”!!!

Have you done something crazy in your homeschool?  Do you fingerpaint with your toes?  Do you let your children do your hair?  Do you wear your pajamas during homeschool?   Oh, the list is endless, but it’s up to you and how much fun you want to have.

To make it even “wackier” (not sure if it’s really a word, but hey, we don’t check spelling this week at BFS either!!!…..try and type some or all of your post sdrawkcab.  (backwards!)

(…and forwards…Make this a fun and relaxing week!)

ehT tseizarc gniht I nac kniht fo si nehw I desserd pu ekil a ainrofilaC nisiaR rof a lleweraf ytrap!  Oh man, that was hard to type.  This was years ago and it wasn’t about anything related to homeschooling.  It was for a Sunday School Teacher that I had and loved dearly.  She was called to move away for her job and she loved the California Raisins.  Three other women and I dressed up like California Raisins and did the Raisin dance and song around her in a great big circle.  It truly was crazy, but we had so much fun and it’s probably something she’s never forgotten.  It was a time I will never forget either.  We all had the old ankle converse shoes, that are NOW popular, we had striped socks, again are NOW popular, and we used pillows to stuff a big black trash bag, that we spray painted purple, and wore as raisin-looking bodies.  I wish I had a picture of it now.  We also had the gloves on our hands and painted our eyes with the blue makeup!  It was a very fun and special time in my life.

Memory Verse: 1 Timothy 4:15 (NIV)
Be diligent in these matters; give yourself wholly to them, so that everyone may see your progress.

Please try to learn our memory verse this week. We will be sharing a new verse every week and hope that you will store them in your hearts and find a special joy in His words.

For this week’s assignment we are supposed to tell how we keep energized so we can get it all done? bouncy music? treat it like a workout? Do you use a schedule? a housekeeping binder system? luck of the draw system?.. or is this an area where you need encouragement? Do you need God’s help to keep order and beauty in your dwelling place? Take this week to tell us how You diligently keep going with your housekeeping chores. (slogan by Energizer Batteries)

This is easy for me.  Our family does all the housework and yard work together.  Many hands make light work!  Actually, it’s not as easy as it seems…My favorite way to clean house is to turn on music (preferably Big Band) as loud as I can stand it to clean by.  I used to be so neat and tidy with everything, but after my mom passed and I went through several very traumatic events I started having anxiety (which means fear) and I also started getting overwhelmed with things that I never used to be bothered by.  I don’t have a verse picked out yet, but I do know that in the Bible it says, “Do not fear” 365 times.  I also don’t have any pictures this week either.  Here is a fun video to watch and help you clean house by….NO! I’m not that old yet…If you’ve been going to my hsb site please note that I’ll be shutting that site down within the next week, after I transfer all my posts and pictures.

My daughter decided to sit in my lap a few mornings ago while I was helping my hubby with his computer school assignment.  Here are some silly pictures!
