Another quiet day at home for us.
Been helping Blake with some paperwork.
Came across this as I rummaged through Tate’s files!!
He was about 18 months old here!
Our little man is always smiling…..I can’t wait to look into his eyes and smile right back.
Dreaming of the day.
Last night Blake and I went on a date!
To get groceries.
It really was a date. Really.
Because when you are our age, any time we are alone we can call it a date.
We also did stop and sip some very large pour-overs. Blonde ones. My favorite.
And reintroduced ourselves to each other.
Yes, I really am as tired as I look. Haven’t been sleeping well as of late.
That handsome young guy next to me? The love of my life.
The kiddos are always pushing us out the door on date night.
Why do you think that is?
I found some photos on my camera.
After gymnastics class, it looks like some late night games were played.
That has been our thing lately.
The key to late night game playing when a certain someone whose favorite words are “have that! have that!” is still awake, is to give her some cards of her own.
Not necessarily from the same game.
My blessing photo for today was that the pantry was full again!
It was very, very, very empty before our date.
Stuck my arm out the sunroom window before we left on our date to capture this blessing photo for yesterday.
Then Addie Mae ran outside to get some shots too.
Did you say “WOW” too?
Looked like the sky was literally on fire.
Felt like a kiss from God.
“…..and the clouds are the dust of His feet.” Nahum 1:3
The last three four weeks have been a jumbled blur for me.
But today, it is Friday.
I know that because when I woke up this morning I checked.
After we finished our Friday house cleaning, Mr. Super Cute In His Glasses was begging for school.
Crazy, I know.
How could I think anything was more important at that moment than saying “Sure!”
So we finished our last day of “rowing” Katy and the Big Snow.
A little while back, I switched up school, and started doing Five In A Row with the two littlest.
SUPER. FUN. STUFF!
The idea is to read the same book five days in a row and then just pick things out of the book to study further.
There is a curriculum for this, which I could not justify spending the money on, so I am winging it on my own using the internet as my help!
With this book we have already studied snow verses rain, weather patterns, warm and cold fronts, community helpers, measuring, a compass and directions. And we made countless snow flake crafts.
Today we learned about the phone, phone numbers and 911.
Then we learned about traffic signs!
Eliza squealed with delight when I handed her some open glue.
That girl is so easy to please.
Since weaning Eliza off of Curious George has been harder than weaning her off those pain meds….we watched a Curious George episode about traffic signs!
We also finished building our own city of Geoppolis.
With snow and all.
Next up?
Madeline.
Should have these two munchkins speaking French by the end of next week!
Not only is it Friday, but it is 2015!! Happy, happy end-of-the-holidays weekend everyone!!
It was 22 degrees below zero wind chill here when we woke this morning.
It has warmed up to a balmy five below zero this afternoon!
But there are no rules when it comes to chunky monkey.
That photo just makes you want one, doesn’t it?
When I asked a certain adorable two year old if she wanted one, she sprinted to the freezer screaming “monkey! monkey!” the whole way there.
Sprinted.
That’s what I said!
Not impressed yet?
Well, this certain adorable two year old has not had any pain medication today.
At all.
The chunky monkey was delicious too.
Although I had to stand in front of the fire to bring my body temperature back to the 90 degree mark.
But it was oh. so. worth. it.
Praising God for no more pain medication, the pitter patter of little cowgirl boots, and sharing chunky monkey with five beautiful rewards. God is SO good!
Happy New Year, everyone!!!
