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:
looking for quiet and Holy Week seemed to be the perfect time to start. Less time on the computer, less stressing over long to-do lists, and less “noise” created for myself. I feel like I’ve become a little overwhelmed with life in general and I’m taking the first steps to slow down and re-evaluate.
trying ring bearer and flower girl outfits on Sophie and J. They are adorable and can’t wait for the wedding. J keeps saying, “How much longer ’til we’re goin’ to our weddin’?” and I have to remind him that they are going to be in a wedding, not attending their wedding.
keeping my Fitbit in my dresser drawer. I have worn it every single day since last June (!!) and the change has been similar to feeling like I forgot to put on my wedding band. The reason behind the Fitbit’s retirement is complicated…it’s just time.
watching Sophie rotate between her three new pairs of shoes, sometimes on an hourly basis. As much as she is a sword-fighting ninja, the girl loves herself some footwear! She was in heaven in the shoe aisle at Target, oohing and awwing and declaring “these cute” over and over again. We were there for Easter shoes and summer sandals, but she ended up with a pair of cowgirl boots (picked out by her Daddy) too.
reading See You in a Hundred Years and Overcoming Dyslexia (I’m finally almost done!)
listening to the kids and their sweet knock-knock jokes: “Knock knock?” “Who’s there?” “Love you.” “Love you who?” “I love you Mama.” (J’s latest)
missing a handful of my workouts at the recommendation of my husband. I’m training at a level I never have before and the combination of that with poor sleep due to a teething baby…well, I’m a bit fried. Yesterday’s run was hard but good (holy moly, the wind was brutal) and I’m prepping for my first 8-miler Saturday!
homeschool notes:
+ We had a short week due to Holy Week. We’re also taking a week off for spring break, which is our first since Christmas.
+ In science, we learned about the phases of the moon and created them using Oreos.
+ M is reading The Hobbit and while I thought it may be too hard for him, he’s taking it slow and loving it!
