The days have been flying by! The kids do their school work in the morning. The girls are usually done by 11:00 and Lane is a lot busier! He has online classes all morning and then he works on his assignments. The afternoons are usually spent doing chores, exercising, gardening and lets be real... a whole lot of screen time if the weather isn't great.
Last week Estelle got a new kitten bringing our animal count to 8! (thankfully these are mostly outdoor animals) Last summer we got two kittens (one for each girl) and Estelles didn't make it. We got Licorice from one of Ingrid's little friends from school. Holly our other cat is ummmm.... adjusting.
Last week I did a treasure hunt for the kids. I got some prizes when I went to the grocery store. I wrote up some fun clues and had Lane help the girls along the way. I think they had fun but made the comment that Aunt Michele's treasure hunts are better. There goes Aunt Michele again... settin' the bar high.
The dandelions are in full bloom. Our landscaping is finally in the works! I currently have 2 excavators and a bobcat in my front yard and almost a whole fence around my garden! Maybe next year we won't have so many weeds.
Water balloon fight on a mostly cloudy day.
My pantry has a little space that goes under the stairs. I've used it for storing random kitchen items but yesterday we cleaned it out, I hung a tension rod with a curtain and the girls made a fort. We've had a lot of fort making going on in the last 7 weeks!
I post pictures about all the fun things but it's not all fun. It can be stressful with everyone home so much. We do well at home because we're all homebodies but that doesn't mean it doesn't have it's challenges. I always have so many expectations for my day but I usually don't get to half of the things on my mental checklist. I'm working on being okay with that...
