Saturday; COVID-19 coverage and its effects have reached crazy levels! It was all a bit unsettling and I had a hard time staying calm today, especially as Spain announced they were heading into lockdown for 15 days. It’s frustrating to feel like you are not in control of your own life, and I realized that […]

Well, we successfully survived Friday the 13th AND a full moon in the same week! Big kiddos went to school today, probably their last school day for a while, and the littles hung out with us at home. Some fun things from today; we ordered a new DSLR for me, Lover’s new phone arrived, and

Apparently I needed a mental health day today! I spent the morning reading a book from the trilogy I picked up at the library, in between managing chores and school for the kids and baths and such. The bigs have really been enjoying Explode the Code, and are nearly done with their workbooks. Soon I’ll

Wednesday we woke up to lovely floors and spiffy moldings! Hurray! It was so nice to have the guys finish ahead of schedule. It gave us a couple of days to work on getting the house reset. We’re rearranging some furniture, and it took a surprisingly long time to get all of the furniture feet

Day 2 of floor installation! We didn’t get as early of a start today getting out the door, but it was fine to stay upstairs! The kids thought it was funny that we toasted and buttered our bagels in the bathroom today. 🙂 Once everyone was fed and dressed, we headed out for lots of

Today was my grandma’s birthday! I was able to call and talk to her, and thankfully she said the pain in her arm has improved quite a bit. She sounds like she’s in good spirits and it was nice to chat with her for a bit. Bigs went to school and were very excited that

It’s cinco marzada! We are looking forward to celebrating this in Spain next year! Kids were up bright and early today – good thing the time change is coming up because that wake up call is coming earlier and earlier as the mornings get brighter! We did breakfast – for a LONG time, since everyone

This morning we had oatmeal for breakfast, and Lover misunderstood Javi’s order – he got honey instead of PB&J! After breakfast we read a devotional from Jesus Calling and Javi read us the verses that are a part of the devo. We did two science experiments as well, one where we learned about inertia and
