The kids worked hard today. Math lessons took a particularly long time, language arts was really challenging for Sloane. Sloane and Esme were both awake multiple during the night and seemed to be taking turns sleeping. At 2:45am I poked Aaron and begged him to take the next turn as I had not slept even a minute yet. He tagged in and did the next round of mid-night-tears and tucked them back in. 6am came so very early today.
But we powered through and it was one of those days when the work just dragged on. So, determined to be the fun teacher mom that I am, I scavenged myself garage for nuts and bolts and quickly put together an super fun sensory activity for the kids when their “work” was done. They worked hard at play and the creativity revived my mother heart. We had a good book talk and we all felt so happy because this was a moment that mirrored what I dreamed homeschooling would/could look like. It just took us until 1:30pm to get there.
The boys have been busy busy busy cutting out intricate Star Wars themed getsnowflakes. We laminated the lot of them and put them up in the classroom today. They’re so cute!
In the late afternoon, neighbor pals gathered on the island for a primrose rock painting activity. Sloane and Bryn had fun working together.
We also made homemade DIY laundry detergent this week. It smells so good!
We are busy busy busy around here! It’s good busy though. Full and satisfying. If
