Weekly Happenings

Here's a quick update on what we did this week. We had absolutely gorgeous weather the beginning of the week so we spent LOTS of time outside. It was around 70 degrees! In January! I was ready to go start digging and planting in the garden! Had to remind myself it's not quite time for that yet.

Monday we spent the afternoon at one of our favorite parks. We played on the playground, walked on the trails and had fun exploring and playing in the "fort tree". The girls were even complaining about how "hot" it was outside! How are they going to survive when July hits??? 

It was so nice again on Tuesday we decided to have another park day and met up with some of our favorite homeschool friends and played the afternoon away. Such good times!

My monkey girl, Hannah. She LOVES climbing trees!

It wasn't quite as nice on Wednesday, but still quite fabulous for January, so we had ANOTHER park day with some other friends we hadn't gotten to play with in a long time. So thankful for all of our wonderful friends!

Friday wasn't quite as nice as the beginning of the week, but we spent another afternoon at...you guessed it...a park. We had our little neighbor friend with us and took her to the park in our neighborhood. We had the place all to ourselves except for a very pretty calico kitty.

This has been a fabulous week for playing outside!

In the times we weren't outside at a park, we worked on the usual...school work, laundry, cleaning, cooking, reading and more. I even taught myself how to crochet little hearts. YouTube is great for that kind of stuff! Now to see if I can figure out how to crochet other things. 

Ellie woke up Saturday with a fever so we just relaxed and watched movies and drank bone broth and snuggled. I also introduced the girls to the old Zorro TV show, which they now love. Even though my baby was sick, we had a great day being together and relaxing. Sometimes you just need a day like that. And I'm happy to report that she went to bed last night without a fever and woke up bright-eyed and bushy-tailed this morning.

Now the girls are snuggled in bed and I'm finishing up a few things so I can watch Downton Abbey this evening. Hopefully those Seahawks and Patriots finish their game in time. 

Hope you all have a wonderful week!

Blessings!
