Another cold and wintry day. Lover had an interview that went very well, and we did our chores, schoolwork and lots of laundry today. I made a big, filling breakfast for the kiddos (and we ate the leftovers. Yum!) Turns out I can cook, when I put my mind to it. The kids really wanted […]
Tuesday and Wednesday were snowy, cold days, great for staying at home. We had a pretty quiet day on Tuesday, and in the afternoon we headed to IKEA to get some exercise. When we first got there the play area was full, but after walking around upstairs and exploring all of the tiny spaces, (and
I had to report for jury duty today, so it was an early and busy morning. The three younger kids all made sure they were awake to say goodbye to me and I was out the door by 7am. Apparently last week’s storm delayed a whole group of jurors, so there were 400 people in
Another snow day! It was a bit of a surprise to wake up to, and discover that school was canceled and all our other plans for the day as well! We cleaned in the morning, the kids watched a Spiderman movie, and the girls did wipe-off puzzles. I spent a long time reading to everyone,

Today was our first day working within our new schedule. We had a winter storm rolling in, so Lover and Declan headed out early to do special time and grocery shopping before the storm made everything terrible. We worked on chores and schoolwork, and encouraged the older kids to do some independent reading. We are
Everyone slept in this morning, so Lover and I enjoyed a rare bonus hour of quiet this morning. It was very needed! After breakfast and a few reminders that we do in fact have chores and responsibilities, everyone got into a good groove. Javi and Keilana did sit down work for a good part of
Everyone was feeling a little worn out and crabby today, so we did a relaxed and laid back day with a lot of self direction. Keilana worked on a costume that she has been creating for a while now, specifically the hat. The kids played with their Duplos a lot, and had a long quiet
