Week in the Life ::: Tuesday

Reading in 1 Kings right now ... currently, it's working for me to do my reading via this Bible software prograom on my computer so this is where I sit in the morning, with coffee, of course.



She loves these little trucks ... goes for them first thing most mornings.



Everyday ... Travis' lunch.



Morning crafting. She found something in her Highlights High Five magazine and went to town with it.



Current drink: decaf iced tea and lots of it.



Starting school - reading our Bible story.



And now the crafting is done. (Those are napkin rings.) : )



B's breakfast ... she found a bag of baby spoons in a drawer and thought if one was good then more is obviously better!



Resting after a tumble down the stairs outside. : (



More school: studying gardens this week. Here she is working on some lapbook parts to go along with Growing Vegetable Soup.



Reading a little about Monet and his love of painting gardens.



More laundry. Today it's the girls' clothes.



Rest time.



More reading aloud ... thanks to a tip from Elizabeth, we are reading Fantastic Mr. Fox by Roald Dahl.



Clean-up time before baths. Princess and My Little Pony parts e.v.e.r.y.w.h.e.r.e.

Definitely didn't take as many pictures today as on Monday. It was hard to stop and grab the camera while we were doing school. Hopefully I'll get a little better at is as the week goes on. : )

Week in the Life ::: Monday

A photo heavy post to highlight some of the photos I captured on Monday. It wasn't our typical Monday in that we had a regular school day - I forgot that I said I would watch my niece and nephew so we had an impromptu play day.



First things first ... open the blinds in the morning.


Feeding the bunny.



This is normal for most mornings that he doesn't have to rush out the door early. A little guitar to start his day.



My breakfast. The kids had scrambled eggs.



Laundry. Always laundry.



Just your typical lightsaber battle with Snow White (and her baby) looking on.



Watering the garden.



And impromptu group shot ... this is about the best you can get with these nuts. : )



Garbage day.



Cousin Bubby brought his Indiana Jones Wii to show the girls, but they didn't really get it.



Lunch - grilled cheese sandwiches all round.



Dishes. Always dishes.



A project for the oldest girl. We got the soccer goal that I won from Monica in the mail today and put it together this afternoon.

Back to our regular routine on Tuesday.

Goodies

I'm not one of those folks who wins things, finds the $20 bill in the Target parking lot, etc. : ) However, in the last few weeks I've had a few strokes of bloggy luck that have been super fun.

So far, I've received:

• a cool marriage book (What Did You Expect?: Redeeming the Realities of Marriage) from Carrie at Reading to Know.
• a personalized address stamp from Dreamland. (And I had been looking at her Etsy shop trying to decide on a stamp because I have been wanting a return address stamp for some time ... then I won her giveaway!)
• a SOCCER GOAL from Monica at The Homespun Heart.

Thank you to these generous blogs for the giveaways - I'm looking forward to enjoying/reading/playing with our new goodies!

"To Do" Frame

Got a little crafty this week with an old frame that I've had. I plan on using this as our new daily schedule and see how it works. The tutorial and a free download of the Things to Do page can be found on a new super-cute crafty blog, eighteen25.
