Last week seemed much better. It was a short week with the kids being out of school on Thursday and Friday and their dad staying home with them too, but I felt like more was accomplished. If only I could remember all the details...
On Monday we did have a typical morning with chores, reading time, learning time, etc. It was pretty cold out though, so any outdoor play that the kids wanted to do (and they did) didn't get done. For art time the boys colored some Halloween pictures and had a pretty good time doing it.
On Tuesday the kids ended up going to their cousins' house to play while I ran some errands to get ready for our little family party for their dad's birthday and to start baking the cake. When I brought them back home, they were pretty happy to try to help a bit, in between some learning time and some more coloring.
On Wednesday, their cousins came to our house to play. They had a good time, and we even read a couple books together during their play time.
Then we had our long weekend, which was pretty fun.
On Monday, we did an extended chore time. After the long weekend, the house had gotten a bit messier than it usually does. But we still managed to get in our regular reading time too. After we dropped D off at the bus, we walked down to the park to play for a bit. It had been a while since we had walked down, since the kids had been sick and it had gotten a bit cold. They had a good time, and it felt good to go on the walk. After the walk to the park, they had some learning time before and after lunch, then we went outside to play again, mostly so I could rake and clean up the yard a bit. They always want to help with that one too, so it's kind of fun. It won't be too much longer before it gets too cold to spend much time outside.
