Wednesday we waded back in to the pile of books. And today, again, was jumbled and cock-eyed. But we did it. We'll do it again tomorrow. And maybe next week will be our week to shine?
I guess there are some weeks when perseverance is the key?
Today, instead of starting a new writing assignment we spent extra time crafting. The boys were happy. The girls were happy. It wasn't a hard decision :)
We make a tremendous mess crafting. It seems to be a specialty. I'm committed to letting supplies fall where they may and doing a massive clean up at the end.
Our craft supplies are *mostly* stored in the bottom half of this cabinet. I took advantage of the chaos and did a bit of purging. Yesterday Luke took advantage of my chaos (switching the kids clothes from winter to summer) and snagged himself a new shirt. I guess you could say both of us are looking for opportunities to turn chaos into gain :)
[His new shirt happens to be a boys size 7. I know a loosing battle when I see it.]
In addition to getting some "groove" back to our home school days we have another big goal for next week! Welcoming my parents! They arrive Wednesday for a 6 week visit. And we can't wait!

That's awesome. Jonah is totally into crafting with paper and scissors and tape these days, which means tons of little pieces of paper all over the place. Makes me take deep breaths to let the chaos be chaos until the end of the day when it's clean up time! And to not just long for the clean up time but enjoy the chaos, too. Looks like tons of fun at your house! Love to you all!
looking forward to getting there too.
love
Dad
Glad you got that crafting supply cabinet organized - we'll dig right in with the kids when we get there!
I struggle with the mess crafting makes. That was one of Will's favorite shirts. It doesn't look too big for Luke!
Wonderful looking lay time. Kids=mess. No getting around it. Love your post.
Meant to say "play time".
