It is great to be blogging again! We finally got our computer back this afternoon, so I wanted to update the Harper Hullabaloo and let you know what's been happening here! Unfortunately, we've had some sickness. Helen had a 24 hour virus about a week ago. She is doing much better, but she still throws up at least once a day! It is a reflux issue that happens each time she has a stomach bug. Our pediatrician prescribed her some medicine to try to help sooth her reflux issues, but it hasn't slowed down yet. I'm just washing lots of clothes, sheets and towels! In the middle of all of that, Beckett has gotten a pretty rotten cold. I took him to the pediatrician today and he tested negative for strep and the flu, but does have pink eye along with a sore throat and a runny nose! No fun! The worst part was that he had to miss our service project and the virtue of the month celebration called "Riversplash" at church tonight! He was pretty bummed out! And if you happen to see me, you might notice that I turn my head kind of funny. One of those turns where your whole upper body moves instead of your neck/head? Anyway, I've pulled a muscle or something in my neck and shoulder and it has been driving me crazy for several days now! So, if you think about it, please pray for healing in the Harper household! Sean has stayed healthy through it all and is a champ at cleaning up puke while I clean up Helen! Oh well, on to other much more exciting things.......

The 100th Day of School!

Beckett celebrated his 100th day of Kindergarten on Monday. We had a great day doing everything 100! Of course, Beckett and Helen's favorite activities had to do with food, so I've included pictures of them getting ready to make their 100 piece snack mix. They took 10 pieces of 10 different snacks and made a snack with 100 pieces! They made necklaces out of 100 cheerios, too! Beckett did everything from counting to 100 by 1's, 2's, 5's and 10's, filling in a 100 number chart, writing in his journal about what he would do with 100 dollars, singing songs and reading stories about the 100th day of school, learning how to make tally marks and guessing how many times a penny would turn up heads and tails if you flipped it 100 times, to even doing 100 exercises! (You'll have to ask Beckett how he did with the sit-ups!) Anyway, enjoy the pictures! It was a fun day! It is hard to believe we've been home-schooling for 100 days! It seems like just yesterday I was taking the pictures of Beckett's first day of school! We are experiencing such blessings being home together!
