We took the off from school this week. Art was home from work, Alex didn't have to go to the college for his class, and Nick is home until the second week of January. It was a good week and a nice break. But, sometimes when we are out of our regular routine we struggle with being productive. A reminder to the children that we could log and do some math did help correct that problem : )
Monday we went out to eat. We had not been out to eat since Emmie's birthday back in March. It was a birthday celebration for Alex since he had to work on his birthday (though he did get cake and a gift on his actual birthday.) Chelsea was able to come and bring the babies. Willow was not sure what to make of Uncle Nick being back home!
Tuesday Christian, Lily, and Emmie went to the 4 H Holiday Craft Workshop. It was very different then previous years (of course.) But, I was glad they were able to go. They made some cute crafts.
Wednesday we made lots of pie and decorated cookies. It was a pretty day and they spent a lot of time outside while things were baking.
Emmie made this apple pie.
The boys turned my dining room table into a ping pong table.
Thanksgiving we ate too much! But it was a good day.
Chelsea and the babies came over for pizza and a movie on Friday.
We started putting outside decorations up over the week-end.
We watched several Christmas movies this week in the evening including Santa Claus 1,2,3, The Cartoon Grinch, and Home Alone.
I hope you had a great week!
