Co-op and Ella's new thing

Well Thursdays are co-op days.  We have such a great time.  We are so blessed to be apart of a group of families that are truly seeking and teaching the Word of God.  We do Walk Thru the Bible, Science, YWAM Books, and then Worldview.  Mrs. Carmen truly teaches our children the message of the BIBLE:  I Love You and he wants to show off.  I leave co-op refreshed and renewed.  We have begun such a journey that is truly bringing our family together in such a way that is indescribable.    It is amazing when God calls us to do something and we walk on faith the blessings that will flow.  That is the story of our homeschool journey.  Some points that really are eye opening.
1.  God doesn't call us to do easy things - Homeschooling is not easy
2.  God calls us to serve - by homeschooling each child learns to serve their family
3.  God calls us to focus on him - Homeschooling allows us to choose the curriculum so we have Bible as a 
                                                   class
4.  God wants to show off - Homeschooling allows us to slow down and noticed his creation
Thanks for the grace if we don't get something right but for the faith to jump out of the boat.

So on to Ella  . . . her new thing
Cutting paper into a thousand of tiny pieces, color the piece with maker, and then cover the entire piece of paper with tape.  She pulls off a big piece of tape and sticks it to the table.  Then she takes the scissors and cuts little pieces of tape to cover the paper.  So here is what my house looks likes.
She has tape on the breathing machine.

The paper that has been cut even in the brown chair.

Her new best friend.  She has almost used up a brand new roll.

She then gives them to everyone in the family as Valentine's Cards.  Sweet
