Last Night.

Betty And The Boy Perform Pennies from Todd Harvey on Vimeo.

Last night the whole family went to see Betty And The Boy perform at a benefit concert for the Whitefish PD. I took a video of their new song titled "Pennies".

Home for lunch.

Today I came home from lunch and found that my kids were in mid bible study. The curriculum we are using for home school incorporates the bible in the learning process. Every day there is a bible study that is part of the days agenda. It was such a blessing to see all three of them studying the word of God. I know without a doubt we have made the right decision to home school. The kids are excited about science! They are studying forensics right now and they can't wait to start the next lesson.

I can't wait to start teaching them art. It will give me an excuse to start drawing again. Who knows maybe one of the kids will excel and become the next Picasso? You never know what the future holds. I have no doubt that we have made the right decision to home school. People are so used to being put in a box that it is hard to imagine you can learn outside of it. I can't wait to see what this will bring in our lives as a family. It definitely has brought all of us closer together.

"The Ballad" one of my favorite songs ever.

The reason I like this song is because you have been one of the people targeted in this song. It is about a kid who has been outcast throughout his life and the lyrics ring true for many different reasons. You have either been the person who has passed judgement on another because you thought they weren't as cool as you. Or you have been that person that has been left out because you didn't fit in. Or you have had a child that has been shunned by thier peers and you are left to comfort their broken heart. In whatever case this song says it all and is one of my favorites. It is title "The Ballad" performed by the group Millencolin. I encourage you to read the lyrics below while listening to the song.



Lyrics

"The Ballad"

The last selection in the ballgame. Does never get a pass.

"Not appreciated's" just his first name. He's the scapegoat of the class.

There are no friends to cheer him up and no girls, no sweet romance.

It's impossible to expand, when you never get a second chance.

Chorus

Do you know, who's that guy, who's all alone? Do you care enough to see? He's in pain and misery.

He's not going to the school-prom. He said he had the flu.

Trumped-up excuses he told his mom. -I'm safer here with you.

She told her son. -Someday, they'll all be sorry for mistreating you.

Don't be afraid my son and trust me. -You'll be someone they will look up to.

Chorus

Do you know, who's that guy, who's all alone? Do you care enough to see? He's in pain and misery... Do you care enough to see? Do you know, who's that guy, who's all alone? Do you care enough to see? He's in pain and misery.

This song inspires me to seek out those others tend to treat as the outcast. We should never pass judgement on others and treat them like they can't be part of our group especially as Christians.

First Day Of Home school

Today I woke up to a kitchen full of smoke! Trevor was making breakfast for everyone! Today's special were burnt pancakes with syrup. As I realized we needed a battery for our smoke detector in the kitchen. I heard Trevor ask Ashley what shape she wanted her pancake to be. She stated that she wanted it to be the shape of the United States. He said OK and sculpted her pancake. He asked her what she thought of his creation when he was done. She said it looked good except it was missing Texas. I found this very funny and now to come to think of it. I remembering reading a news article about how Texans were threatening to succeed from our nation. So it could be prophetic as well! I'm thinking of freezing it and selling it on eBay if Texas does decide to succeed. I would be rich and my son would have a job telling the future as a pancake reader.

So today's home ec. class went well. We learned about fire safety and geography. As well as how to burn a pancake and that will come in handy in the future. Knowing the limits of cooking pancakes is the only way to make them perfect. So home schooling is going great thus far! I am sure this is just the first of many exciting stories that will come from our new adventure!

Snyder Lake Glacier National Park

Today me and my buddy Seth decided to head into Glacier National Park and do some hiking. We decided to take a short hike into Snyder Lake. Short however in the wilderness doesn't mean easy. Especially when there is snow involved while hiking up hill. The trail starts on the Going To The Sun Road in Glacier Park. 4 miles later you reach the lower of the two Snyder Lakes. On our way we discovered a bush covered shed that reminded me of something out of a Freddy Kruger movie. Thus the picture of the creepy door. While traversing the snow packed trail upward toward the lake, we had great conversation all the way. There is nothing like getting out into the wild and talking with good friends, about everything under the sun. When you do these outings there is a brotherhood formed that is priceless! Luckily we didn't encounter any bears on our travels. However we had bear spray in hand just in case we stumbled upon a griz or any other species of bear. There was a bit of excitement on the trail. A little squirrel jumped out of the bushes towards me and almost got the wrath of my bear spray! Seriously it sounds stupid but it startled me to where I almost sprayed the poor little thing. Anyway it was a good day and I can't wait for our next outing! If you have the chance you need to hike in Glacier Park it is AMAZING! Well I am off to shower and check for ticks, and then to bed! I am tired and need sleep.
