So, I will go ahead and apologize for not updating this for the last couple days. Best laid plans, right? Anyhow, I thought I would catch you all up on what all we have been doing lately. Saturday, I took the kids and drove out to see my family. My parents took the kids and I out to lunch, and then to get their pictures made. It was so chaotic, although I'm sure my grandparents would have liked for it to just have been them with the kids at first, it ended up being kinda crazy because it took them nearly an hour because they were booked up even with appointments. It was so funny though, because after an hour of waiting, the kids were being silly and cutting up. Joshua kept motioning like a bow and arrow or something-and as I'm sure you can imagine, he is quite the ham. He's quiet sometimes, but he can be a goofball when he wants to. Regardless, I think they came out pretty good, don't you? Then, my grandparents met up with us later on and we did a little Christmas shopping we them, got the kids some much needed clothes. After a long day, we all came back and had some yummy tacos at their house and then me and the kids headed home. Sunday was a loaf around day, we slept in and made homemade cinnamon rolls which were super delicious. (Recipe Here: http://www.food.com/
The day was ok for the most part except I ended up getting sick, and sending hubs out to do the Grocery shopping for me. Yesterday, we had a clean up day around the house and played board games. Winner got to pick the next game, loser had to do a chore (needless to say, that did not go over well with Bubs). I got somewhat caught up on laundry...but then again, with 5 people, I am never really caught up....
Today we had a kind of crazy day. We played more board games. (Hannah doesn't realize that using 2 dice is teaching her addition facts without making her crazy doing problems over and over). Hannah is determined to learn how to play Clue, and believe it or not, she's understanding a lot more than I would have thought, even though it is not meant for kids under 8 years old. We cleaned up, started our new math text book, worked on Capital letters and punctuation, wrote a letter to Santa, did some Christmas themed Art and that was just before dinner!! Now we are watching Christmas movies on TV and the kids are about to get bathed and ready for bed. I can't believe Christmas is less than 3 weeks away. Before we know it, it will be over and we'll be facing the gloom of winter. Hopefully I can come up with some fun activities to keep us occupied though.
