week 5 - burnout

This week didn't start out so great.  I was in a funk.  I was burnt out.  I told the kids Monday morning that we weren't having kidschool because I couldn't feel the Spirit.  "Why? Nothing is wrong!" said Troy.  Good boy.  We prayed, we put the flag up.  I slowly inched my way back up.

 I played lacrosse with Troy (sadly the ball shattered the front window while I was inside)

 We all played baseball.
 Cash keeps a close eye on the tomatoes these days
 They built condo.'s
 I guess Paul got the end unit...
 They have thoroughly enjoyed digging in dirt this week.  A lot.
Cooking is better with EVERYONE!





I love that when we go to the Treehouse Museum we can spend the whole two hours in one corner of it playing with blocks (because we have a membership i don't feel like we have to hurry and see everything).  I love that there is one of me and only four of them (unlike the school groups going through).  I love that the "one of me" IS their Mom.  I love being with them during their magical discoveries.

 Studied some weird plants, which turned out to be mushrooms.
 Created a cleaning plan
 with signs
 Studied with Cheerios and Goldfish
 He has been doing some serious weight-lifting
 with lots of moral support
 We built a homemade swing between the bunk beds.
 The kids acted out their first play.  It basically consisted of six Acts of Sir Troy slaying the dragon...

But the lost cow was adorable, and was returned to the beautiful princess by the tough cowboy.

 Pumpkin picking
 Pumpkin decorating
 Pumpkin hauling

 Cut little pumpkin
 Pumpkin arranging
 Pumpkin hugging
 PUMPKIN PORCH!

We FINALLY finished reading Farmer Boy.  We unfortunately had to skip a few chapters near the end, but the last one was worth it.  I look forward to reading it again when they are older. 
"I can do all things through Christ, which strengtheneth me." -Philippians 4:13
