Chloe's Presentation Pics
At CC, the kids have to do an oral presentation each week. Chloe LOVES to prepare for hers (while executing it is a different story: she is beyond cute but gets so soft spoken and shy). For the last presentation, she took pictures of all of her favorite Christmas things: Her stocking: She has a tree in her room: (She brought in the tree as a visual object) My mom's Dept 56 stuff: /> With an ornament (she could not remember the word "ornament", LOL) Each year, my kids get an ornament with their picture on it. This was hers a few years ago: The tree:
Classical Conversations
For our CC Thanksgiving celebration, each class dressed as a different ancient country and brought food from that country. Caleb's class was Ancient Greece, and Chloe's class was Ancient Egypt. Both of my kids did great in their performance: both with a history sentence and the tin whistle. Earlier in the day at rehearsal: Chloe's class at CC:
2013
I'm toying around with idea to spend 2013 doing something new each week (that I've never done before). I already have a pretty full plate, so maybe I will make it once a month?! I have felt like I'm in sort of a rut lately. Life is very good and full but just sort of routine. I'd prefer that to awful, but as a homeschooling and stay at home mom to four kids, my life is about almost everyone/everything but myself. I love the life I've chosen, but it can feel monotonous. Ordinary days are so awesome in a lot of ways but I want to add some spice to my life! Spending time doing something novel will be a way to add spontaneity to my days. I've come up with some things to do, and we'll see if this pans out. Ideas: - go off the social media grid - read through the Boxcar Children with my kids - cook every meal from scratch - make a craft a day - no sugar - no cleaning my house (I'm scared of this one) - either make my Pinterest pins or delete them - switch as m
Sleeping
For some reason, Caleb has been sleeping with Luke lately. I'm not sure if he's scared or what, but a couple nights a week, they sleep like this: - Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone
Basketball
Caleb and Chloe had a great experience with Upward Basketball: Brett always stuck his tongue out when he played football, so this makes me smile :) And the peanut gallery... (Brett does this thing called "whisker footing"....if he hasn't shaved in a few days and his facial hair is itchy, he "whisker foots" the kids....they love it! Luke is doing it to Levi!)
Happy 5 Months to Levi!!
I cannot believe how fast this 5 months has flown by. Levi is such a sweet baby. He smiles so much. He is content. He sleeps pretty well (naps well and wakes 2 time a night). My sweet boy is so awesome!! He loves his siblings, loves his pacifier, and generally is an easy baby! I adore this sweet baby.... He likes to "fly": P.S. I couldn't believe I took all of these with a booger (near his eye...he had just woken up). Such is life :).
