Bible Workbooks {Volume 1 Old Testament and Volume 2 New Testament}

I was truly thrilled to receive these two bible workbooks by Catherine B. Walker. There are two volumes, one is the Old Testament and one is the New Testament. I want to start with a disclaimer: I have not completed the entirety of these workbooks at this time but I am looking forward to that in the very near future!

First, these workbooks can easily fit into a binder which I think is great. The pages are perforated so you can tear them out or  put the workbook itself directly into a binder. That will make these easy to transport if needed. 

I also love the way the workbooks are designed. They go in order of each testament and are written to allow you space to answer questions, fill in blanks, etc. Through my perusing, I can already tell that there is going to be some major depth of knowledge exposed through these little books. 

Catherine Walker stated regarding these books: “It is my prayer that all who use these books will be guided by them into a deeper, more personal, knowledge of the living Word, the Lord Jesus Christ, as well as the written Word, the Bible,” 

Catherine designed these books to encourage students to want to know more. These are not exhaustive studies but a way to help us understand how and why the Bible is written and get our thoughts moving in the right direction. 

As we prepare to homeschool beginning within the next week, I foresee these being helpful for me as I learn how to teach the boys about the Bible in a practical way. 

Thank you, SideDoor Communications and Moody Publishers for these great resources! 

Maddox Says & Does {19}

I told Maddox I was going to a wedding shower. Then later on when went to get in the shower, he said, "Is that a wedding shower?" 😂

Later on he said, "are you going to take all of your clothes off for wedding shower?" It was at that point that we decided "pre-wedding celebration" was a better choice. 😂

To Mason: "Did you hear what my mom said? Stop doing that!" 

Matt asked Mason to see if he could get his own pajamas out of the closet. He said he couldn't reach. Matt told him to get a stool. He started trying and Maddox was cheering him on "you can reach! you can reach!" 

One afternoon while eating lunch, Maddox had eaten some of his carrots and then he stopped and held a chewed bolus of carrots in his mouth for over 15 minutes. 😂

Maddox was counting down to launch things: 3-5-4-3-2-1. ❤️

While visiting Grandmom and Granddad, Maddox looked at Granddad's arm and said "Can I touch that tree on your arm?" speaking of a vein he saw. 😂

Maddox was playing as a snake and I asked him to stand up so I could help get him dressed. He said, "Moooooommmm, snakes don't stand on two feet!"

While playing Guess Who, Maddox says, "Does your person have eyes?" 😂

We went to a nature center with friends. After five hours there, we were walking out and Maddox said, "That was fun." ❤️

Mason Says & Does {38}

Mason asked me if I had ever seen a brain and I told him I'd seen one in a jar before.  He said "Man, I wish I'd seen a brain." I reminded him he still had lots of time to see a brain. He said, "Oh yeah, I forgot I'm only 5." 😂😂😂

"Bad people, people that don't believe in God, and people that don't listen to policemen...those are the ones who go out that gate the wrong way." 😂😂😂 (discussion with Maddox about who goes out of the entrance.)

One recent afternoon, Netflix slowed down and went out. Mason said, "Oh no...Ralph broke the internet." 😂

We left Grandmom and Granddad's house and seconds later, Mason said "I miss Grandmom and Granddad already." ❤️

Mason did some racing with his baseball buddies at practice one day and he won all of them. Matt and I were shocked. 😂😂😂

The Morgan's Movements 2019 {Week 20}

Pure relaxation, I'd say...

We got to spend a morning with some great friends last week and we all had the best time! 

  

  

My back was still bothering me last Wednesday so instead of Stroller Rollers, we headed to Chick-Fil-A for story time! 

Mason won a hedgehog. :) 

  

Coolest kid I know. He was directing me with this whistle. 

Snuck this...

This was Mason setting up a booty (booby) trap for Matt. He was so darn proud! 

I can't handle this sweetness. 

Matt didn't feel well and the boys were taking good care of him. 

Sweetness playing in the sand...before he put sand in all of the unwanted places.😑

  

Matt took the boys to Panera and this is how they were dressed. I was a bit in awe. 😂

We finished Charlie and the Chocolate Factory so we watched one of the movies, the old Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. Kids' clothes were optional. 

Saturday morning ready for an Amish bakery and a horseshow! 

Waiting for our donuts. ❤️

We also got scones. YUM! 

The horseshow was a neat experience. The boys weren't sure how to behave so that part was tricky but we love our girl, Emily, so we made it work. Emily and her sister are kids I love like I love my own. 

We walked in downtown Landrum briefly and hit up the amish grocery store. 

We took some time on Saturday afternoon to watch some of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory with Matt. It was the preferred movie. 

Our little Oompa Loompa drummer. 

I also made some fried Oreos. We'd been talking about it for a while and we made it happen! 

  

Easy Like Sunday morning...

Guy time for these two. 

Maddox brought his snack and came to watch PawPatrol for me! 

Look at this one....❤️

I had a meet-up with my small group table ladies. Only three of us but we had the BEST time!! 

These two fight BIG so when they sit well together and are happy, I try to capture it. 

Dad got lots of snuggles...

The boys and I are off to Louisiana for some family fun!
