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:
loving how TJ has all of a sudden attached himself to blankets. He drags them behind him through the house, just like Linus! It’s ridiculously cute.
wishing the cooler fall weather would come back. It went back to the high 70’s this week and I was so bummed. I’ll take sweater weather over sweating anytime.
making homemade quicksand. Most of the kids are a little “anti-mess” and wouldn’t even put their fingers in the concoction. Sophie, on the other hand, couldn’t get enough! She played for over an hour.
finishing up The Winter of our Disconnect (this book rocked my world…a separate blog post to come!) and starting John Paul the Great: Remembering a Spiritual Father.
watching the kids play poker. Mark taught them last weekend and they are all.about.it. A peek into the future maybe?
listening to The Hobbit on Audible as the kids colored a page I found online. It was the quintessential homeschool moment and I ate it right up.
decluttering the playroom and really considering each toy’s worth. Is it used? Does it foster creativity? We worked together and got rid of A LOT. I’m anxious to keep the momentum going to other rooms in the house.
thanking the good Lord for a happy baby again. TJ spent most of last week fussy and clingy and I couldn’t figure out why. I randomly peeked into his mouth this week and discovered four molars coming in! Don’t let the Mother of Five Badge fool you – I still have no idea what I’m doing.
