A collection of our ordinary days, recorded every week. At the end of the year, I’ll publish them into a keepsake to treasure.
Around here, I have been:
watching the kids play. M got a marble from his CCD teacher this week and the amount of time all of the kids have played with that one marble blows my mind. Why do we have all of these toys again?
doing Sophie’s hair exactly how she requests. She always wants three, not two but THREE, hair ties, so I’ve been fixing a lovely ‘do of pig tails connected into a pony. She loves it.
reading all about dyslexia in an attempt to help my second oldest. It’s not official, but as the school year progresses, I’m more and more convinced. I’ve mostly scrapped our original curriculum and am starting back at square one. (We are still doing the letter of the week for now.) After the recommendations of a few homeschooling moms, I just ordered All about Reading and I’m hopeful it will help.
trying to get out of my cereal rut and make hearty breakfasts, much like this time last year. This week, I made homemade granola, a Denver baked omelet and crepes.
letting go of counting calories. It has become a frustrating behavior that can border on obsessive and life is just so much bigger than that. Instead, I’m focusing on more: more water, more veggies, more good stuff. And a small sweet treat is okay sometimes too.
homeschool notes:
- It was L week in Kindergarten. We painted lions.
- The big boys found our old Monopoly game and have caught on quickly. I love the extra math practice it gives both of them…and it’s fun!
