  • Charades!

    Charades!

    Mom and Dad had a date tonight. So they left for Louisville, and we finished up all of our work. Afterwords, I called all the kids together to make sure all the work was done. Once I was sure it was all finished, I told them that we could play a game of Charades! Then…

  • Quiet On The Set!

    Today we did a lot of video filming! We filmed 2 Valentine’s Day videos, and 1 mailbag video. We have some really funny videos coming out.  The Soaper Bowl should be done tonight – I can’t wait to see Daddy and Indigo in that video. Mom won’t let me tell you too much about the…

    Thank You God For…

    Whenever we go to church, Indigo and Jade have their favorite people to sit with. They will sit with Mr. Sweetland, Audrey, Samuel (at least, Indigo will), Mrs. Tate, and (of course) Mom, Dad, and me. They will sometimes sit with someone else, if there is a good reason for them to (like food or…

  • The Day After Christmas…

    The Day After Christmas…

    …was a Sunday. We go to a home church on the Sundays that we are free. On the day after Christmas, one of the moms planned a play that everyone had got to be a part of. Emery was Joseph and Hewitt was Baby Jesus: Fletcher was a sheep:     Someone found him a…

  • Ulterior Motives

    Ulterior Motives

    Everyone around here always loves Christmas. But this year, Brett, Cole, and Emery got really excited about it. Most of their gifts were very altruistic and something the receiver would really desire. But there were a few that I think were a little bit selfishly motivated. One of them was the box set of the…

  • Almost Christmas

    Almost Christmas

    We love the fact that our business is growing. But it has interfered with some of our Christmas traditions. At the very least, it has pushed many of them back from the first half of December to the second half of December. For example, we finally got our tree up this week. We could have…

  • Our Thanksgiving Weekend

    Our Thanksgiving Weekend

    The following is a guest post by Brett (she had so much fun writing yesterday’s post and I have so much work to do, it was a win/win).  PJ We had the best Thanksgiving ever. And don’t try to tell me I’m wrong, ’cause I wont listen.  Grandma, Poppy, Uncle Adam and his family arrived…

  • Woody

    Woody

    One of Daddy’s friends from elementary school was going through Indiana, so he decided to stop by. Dad was excited to see him again, because they had not seen each other in about 25 years! Woody got here around 2:30 on the Sunday after Thanksgiving. The kids loved Woody. Indigo was all over him, especially…

  • Grissom Air Museum

    Grissom Air Museum

    When we travel places, we always try to visit something in the area where we can learn something new. It’s the homeschoolers in us. On our trip to Pennsylvania, we had intended to take the children to tour the Hershey chocolate factory. Unfortunately, we were so sick, all we wanted to do was get home…

  • Thanksgiving Play

    Thanksgiving Play

    You’ve seen our professionally produced Happy Thanksgiving Video. Now you get to see our personal family Thanksgiving play. This play was written by my children and directed and produced by Brett all the Jonas children.  It features my children and many of their cousins. Notice that while Brett enjoys producing and directing, she does not…

  • Pretty Princesses

    Pretty Princesses

    While we’re selling soap in Pennsylvania, Gretchen is covering the homestead. She’s shipping all the orders, answering the phone, feeding the goats (well, her husband may be doing that), taking care of the kitty cats, and basically being me for the week. Gretchen has two children – her son is in school, but her daughter…

  • Tangled, the Movie

    Tangled, the Movie

    We’ve had a lot of family staying with us for the Thanksgiving weekend. All together there are 17 cousins staying here. We took everybody into town today to watch Disney’s Tangled in 3D. The children were all so excited about the movie (and their glasses): I had fun getting them to pose while Jim took…

  • St. Louis Arch

    St. Louis Arch

    As a homeschooling family, we always take every opportunity to explore cool educational things. My brother is stationed near St. Louis, so when we went to visit him last year, we had to visit the St. Louis Arch. The children (and Jim and I) thought it was amazing, and we were very psyched to go…

  • Fireplaces

    Fireplaces

    Indigo has appointed herself the fireplace cleaning woman. All on her own, she’ll decide it’s too dirty and she’ll wash it down: She works really hard at it too: Didn’t you love all the banging of the milk pails in the background? (It’s never quiet around here. LOL) I love it when the children take…
