Weekly Wrap Up

Thanks to some crazy weather, we've had a roller coaster these past two weeks. We follow the public school's lead when it comes to snow days. My kids love the anticipation, wondering if they will wake to a snow day. Due to snow and ice, we've lost five, F-I-V-E, school days the last two weeks.

This week I made the executive decision that snow days would now be half days because we were losing too much time.

I did have some good quality time with my toddler, Bram. Our favorite activity lately is mixing colors in the bathtub. He had so much fun making green and purple, orange and brown. And getting all pruney. He would smile at his wrinkly fingers and say "Huh? What's happening to me?" Too cute!

My teens, Fox, Tony and Billy, LOVED having so much time off school and thought I was quite the spoil sport insisting on half days. I have to admit, it was nice to have time to do what we wanted and just enjoy hanging out with one another. But that doesn't satisfy the homeschool evaluator! HA!

We did have an issue when, while catching up on grading, I discovered one of the big boys has been skipping their math and grammar lessons. I wasn't happy - but at least he has time to catch back up. Especially since he can't play any video games or use his computer for anything but school work - uh huh.

That's about it. Its been an on and off couple of weeks but now that the ice storm has passed, I'm trusting next week will be smoother and more productive.
