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:
having a hard week. Between adjusting to a busier schedule, having cranky kids, struggling to fit in all of my commitments, horrific news stories, crazy hormones and car trouble, I am beat. TJ is into everything and I can’t seem to get ahead of the household chores either. I’m so thankful for a long weekend to sleep and catch up.
starting our new soccer season routine. Practices are twice a week, back to back, which means quite some time on the soccer field! The little ones have been troopers. I’m brainstorming some surprises to get for them to pass the time.
watching Reading Rainbow on Netflix. I thought the kids might think they were hokey, but they love the show! In the first four episodes, we learned how bowling balls are made, about the benefits of composting, how to make a comic book and that we’re never too old to learn something new.
buying new fall pajamas for the little kids. The big boys have decided that they’d just like to wear sweatpants and a shirt to bed now and that makes me a little teary. Where did these big kids come from?! I’m compensating by buying these and these and these for Sophia and TJ.
finishing up the first phase of T25. I absolutely love this program. I love that I am seeing results in a time frame that works for a homeschooling, small business owning, mother of five! If I can do it, anyone can.
reading Love Does for me and Pippi Longstocking as our school read aloud.
loving how Sophia says her “f”s as “s”s. Her family is her “sam-ly”, she loves “shench shies”, and she hurt her “singer”. Like the boys, I know I will blink and she’ll be saying all of these words correctly, so I’m eating it up for now.
