| My wonderful breakfast date. |
Monday the 28th...
It's always a challenge to get us moving in a good direction on a Monday. A cloudy Monday is even harder. It would be my preference to hibernate with a good book under a blanket in front of a fire all day. So, things like getting up EARLY, making breakfast, cleaning up breakfast, and exercising did not seem fun this morning. And that long list of chores I wrote for my afternoon, well, they didn't get done either. I was tired by the afternoon from just keeping us on schedule. All in all, it was a good day. Lessons got done. We decided to buckle down and do the work. Yay, us!

Another cloudy, rainy day. Normal things getting done may have to be enough this week. I am thankful for an interesting curriculum (Sonlight). We are going to finish a couple books this week. Today was a quiet day at home and there is nothing better!

Wednesday the 30th...
Lessons, art, a date with my boy, and AWANA all equal a busy day. The weather is cooler, but still cloudy. I took Grace to art, then Trevor and I used a gift card at Starbucks. Delightful! Grace finished her portrait of Dorothy. I love how it turned out. AWANA went pretty well. I had two visitors and two girls absent, so everyone got some attention.
Thursday the 31st...
Woke up to a dusting of snow and lots of wind, which has been blowing all week. Today I got to go have lunch with my grandmother and then enjoyed some nice conversation back at their apartment. Jeff ended up coming home early to finish his work day, which was nice. Then we went shopping while the boys were at karate.

Friday the 1st...
Brr. It's 5 degrees with a subzero windchill. Public schools are on a 2 hour delay. Man, I want a 2 hour delay today, too, but, that's not the way of the diligent. Today is our 99th day of school. We finished Great Expectations! Trevor finished his grammar book. Celebrate! And after our lessons, we tackled that long list I wrote. We earned a little rest this afternoon, too. A great week at home.
This weekend we're going to help with some packing and watch the big game. Hope you have a great weekend.

Well, you know I love Grace's picture. And wow, look at all those pencils the couch ate! Sounds like a great week. On our real cold mornings, all's I think about is hibernating too - wish I had a fireplace, but just staying in bed would do nicely. :) Have a good weekend.
ReplyDeleteThat's what comes out of our couch. All that schooling on the couch!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a great week, and you are quite diligent to push through like that. I love Grace's picture, she is quite the artist. I hope you have a good weekend. :)

Grace is so talented! I always love seeing her artwork.
ReplyDeleteI agree, it was a great week to cuddle on the couch with a good book. We moved most of our HOD lessons to the couch this week so we could snuggle under warm blankets.
Stay warm and be Blessed! :-)
Hi Jennifer, I understand about wanting to hibernate. Our days have mostly been cloudy and gray here as well, but we got a little break in the weather today and the sun decided to come out and our snow is melting. As much as I love the snow, I'll be ready for an early spring. Blessings for a great day, Heather
