I’d Rather Be a Doorkeeper

Bazzy kept trying to break into his big brother’s room to get into his castle and ship LEGOs, so I made him a little castle of his own. He spent over an hour adding to it. Behavior is communication! #childrenofjoy About to get rolling on the webinar with St. Raphael School. #orthodoxchristian #orthodoxwriter I learned so much and enjoyed meeting the wonderful people at the St. Emmelia South homeschool conference this past weekend. I apparently saved my pre-presentation outfit check photo 😄, but mostly I took photos of the beautiful icons. Our keynote speaker Fr. Jason Foster and his Pres. Ashley were so encouraging and helpful, too! “Pres” led the children in music that I’m sure made angels rejoice. My heart is full, and the kitchen conversations with my husband have revolved today about all I learned. (Special thanks to @mandysexton_ for the Texas history advice!) #stemmeliahomeschoolingconference I will post again when the recordings are available. So happy to meet @mandysexton_ in real life at the St. Emmelia South homeschool conference! #stemmelia #orthodoxchristian Stop by my site (link @somemyrrh ) to download the new and improved visual schedule for the Divine Liturgy. Facebook readers, follow this link: summerkinard.com #accessiblechurchschool #theologyofdisability #orthodoxchristian #orthodoxkids #autism #specialneeds #attention The big rain left behind a bunch of mud puddles, and I have lost track of how many baths I gave today. I loved watching the kids play in the yard this afternoon. #childrenofjoy Been tinkering on some workshop materials, and my littlest went into my office to work on her own project. I’m really glad she knows how to do good work, even if she left the polishing rags, polish, and wooden blocks all over the floor. I don’t always get to see the evidence that the kids are learning from me, so this is an encouraging sort of mess. #childrenofjoy Sometimes I get a scruple if I remember that epistle saying not to wear pearls to church, but then I’m like, “Naw, it’s good. These are costume jewelry from Target.” I had figured today’s lesson might be too fun for at least one of my children to resist, so I brought a wet bag and a fresh shirt. When we got home, I realized Bazzy had also gotten his feet wet! 😄😄😄 #accessiblechurchschool #childrenofjoy
