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:
in shock how fast this week went! I blinked and we’re already here at Friday. The days are only going to get busier for us too – soccer starts next week!
running outside when Mark gets home. I love every minute of those four mile runs…I can be in my own head for a little bit, which I’m finding is necessary as an introvert with five loud kids. Saturday is scheduled for seven miles, a distance I’ve never done before. I’m excited and nervous.
decluttering like a crazy lady. I’ve been trying to be very aware of the things entering our house, so how do I still have so much stuff? It’s a little overwhelming, but I’m taking it one closet and plastic bin at a time.
finishing Where’d You Go, Bernadette (I liked it!) and still working through Overcoming Dyslexia.
planning Easter: finishing up baskets, choosing outfits and making a menu for dinner. Simple but special is my motto.
working on Sophie’s room and I’m almost done! Her headboard arrived and it is just how I pictured it. I still need to find a lamp and some throw pillows, plus a few other odds and ends, but I’d say her room is about 80% complete.
homeschool notes:
+ In science, we started our space unit. We did a general summary and then watched a few Magic School Bus episodes.
+ Our Greek study started in history. We made Grecian vases using a scratch technique, which was really fun for all of us. (I made one too!) Yesterday was the highlight of the week,though: we made Mycenaean shields and helmets from cardboard!
+ M has been flying through beginner chapter books, so we decided to let him try something a little harder. He is now reading Detectives in Togas and loves it!
