Several weeks ago one of our dear teammates, Karen Singleton, approached me about an idea she'd had to minister to us who are homeschooling on the AZ team. Karen has 4 grown children who she homeschooled and so she understands the ups and downs of schooling our own kids. She came up with an idea (a divine inspiration in my view) to have a Mom's Day Out once a month. On this day she would host all of the homeschooled AZ kids at her house for a day of learning and fun together, while we moms get the day off! Karen's thought was that it would not only minister to us moms, but also give her a "grandma fix".
So, this past Wednesday was the inaugural Mom's Day Out. Caleb and Gracyn attended and had a great time at Auntie Karen's house.
They had a great time doing some crafts and drawing in special books made just for them!
They learned about the Ethiopian who was the first missionary to Africa and even got to dress up in Ethiopian clothes!
Isn't she precious!
Isn't he scary!
They played on the playground at Makeni Ecumenical Center, where the Singletons live, and had a blast together! All day long after I picked them up the kids were singing songs that Auntie Karen taught them and telling me about what they learned.
Brent stayed home with Maddie that day so I truly had the day off and hung out with Elise Whitfield the whole day...sitting and talking in a quiet house!
Thanks Auntie Karen!
