Sunday - We did about a million loads of laundry, seriously. At least, for once, it's all folded and put away! It's so much easier to get dressed in the morning when you can find the clean stuff! M was at a friend's for the weekend, helping with some construction project, so the kids & I had the morning to ourselves. We made hot apple cider & watched Microcosmos. Then we read some of "The BFG" by Roald Dahl. This is the first chapter book I've read out loud that both children actually enjoy! C.O. took one of his math assessments & did really well. C.J. and I then worked on the alphabet, both singing it and identifying letters (capitol ones) by sight. Then we browsed a cool site on Christmas Around the World, and in honor of our research, made a Russian dinner - pirogi, cabbage, pickled beets.
Monday - C.O. had his enrichment class this morning, and they worked on poems about mittens. Afterwards, he came home and the kids played out front on their bicycles for about an hour & a half while I made dinner ahead of time. Then, C.O. did 6 pages in HWOT (he was really enjoying it), 2 pages in HM Phonics, and 2 pages of math. C.J. colored princess pictures and drew polka dots (her favorite thing to draw lately). She also practiced writing the letters "O" & "T", because those were a couple of the letters C.O. was working on. Then, off to gymnastics! I finally got smart and brought coloring books & a bunch of crayons to occupy each of the kids while the other is doing gymnastics. Now, it's after dinner, and the kids are watching an episode of Curious George before bed, after we read 2 more chapters in the BFG.
We got a lot done over the weekend as far as sorting out books and clothes - still more to go. They outgrow things (clothes, toys and books) so fast sometimes that it is hard to keep up with it all!
