Today was a very normal and happy day.
We have spent a lot of time at home this week and it has been just delightful.
Our Fridays are "play and project days". We let go of the specifics of our routine for the rest of the week and we all indulge in the things we want to do. Often I feel like as much or more learning happens on these days as in the days when I formally plan and teach lessons. I know it is good for our spirits too and we return refreshed for the routine on Mondays.
There was a lot of pretend play happening at our house today. Kings and queens and princesses and battles. I love when I hear the mimicking of things we've read in stories and books.
There were also several opportunities to work on . . . interpersonal relationships. But I truly believe if they can learn to get along with one another they can learn to negotiate many, many other scenarios in life.
This morning found me doing a bit of meal planning. Do you have recipes stuck in a binder or somewhere from pre-internet days?
I went on a walk late morning and listened to a couple of podcasts. I feel like this is my "professional development time"!
The weather was sunny and while I was afraid I'd be cold before I set out I ended up being hot by the time I got home.
One of the podcasts I began listening to today mentioned this book, Snow Treasure, so I came home and looked it up. I am on our library's website multiple times a day! Such a wonderful resource that we are very thankful for.

I am so very thankful that he supports me staying home with our kids!

Cleaning up when we are done with an activity is not a strong suit around here right now. It drives me kind of crazy except that I realize I am not very good at it either (it depends on what it is and where but my family room counters are rarely clear). Looking at this chair in a photo also makes me realize how dirty it is.
If something is feeling too intense (and if you know us, you know our video choices in this house are VERY tame - this was animated cars talking about the fruits of the Spirit) this is how I find her watching a video, as far back from the tv as she can get. so sweet.
Leftover pork sandwich for lunch! Adrian made a super yummy pork meal the other night!
deciding where I want to hang this as I ready the house for hosting Thanksgiving this year!

Happy weekend to everyone!

I love your ten on tens! I just started reading Snow Treasure, a few days ago! It was one of the books from Jenna's TCA assigned summer reading list. I've been making my own way through the list. So far, it's really good - fascinating!
