Critical thinking with Mighty Mind. Really cool activity. Highly recommended by us!

After brainstorming about her service project for awhile, she chose Annie. Aunt Julie’s dog of course. I gently encouraged her (many) times to choose a human, but she didn’t budge. She picked out a bone and we went to the post office. A couple of days later we got a cute photo of Annie with her bone in Amarillo.

She used her own money and paid herself!

Her sweet Bible verse video – I want to eat her!

As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for you O, God.  - Psalm 42:1

We had fun, but it is a bit of an adjustment for me to add structured activities. I’ve gotten used to running errands, going to the gym and doing whatever I want during the day. We decided 3-4 times a week was plenty for projects, crafts and activities so we can still walk the mall if I want! Oh, and reading, we read many books and visited the library twice like usual. The letter “A” was a success.
