Corona - Week 6 (but who's counting!)

Our online school assignments will now be available starting Sundays! I was hoping for this, but then barely glanced at them! Hah! 
I told the kids we need to stay focused and get through most our work at the beginning of the week so we could play more towards the end of the week. This worked very well!! 

We got in several hours of hard work on Monday, and it felt great to start the week productive! 

 
 Evan's work: 
Uses of water: 
 LJ's work: 

 Making shapes from house hold items... or mom's bags! haha! 
 We are out of fresh fruits, so we have been having lots of smoothies! And thank goodness, the kids are loving them (thank you Arbonne Protein Mix!). Ellie LOVES doing most of the work to prepare them, and I love my little helper! 


We went to Mapache for our school work on Tuesday... 

One project this week was to make names out of natural resources... Mapache was a fun place to do this! 



Dropping off dinner to neighbors, and she wants a picture! haha! I love it! 

 Evan's journal writing!  
 LJ working on Natural Disasters! 

Back home and back to the yard!! Today, the lizards have all their attention! They are playing a game of who let's it crawl on them for the most seconds without grabbing it! hah! 


 Ellie did a Zoom Princess Scavenger Hunt class with her favorite dance instructor!! She had so much fun!! 
 Aladnin's magic carpet...
Rapunzel's pan... 
 Belle's book... 
 Then they would dance around to each princess song! 


Thursday: The kids went back to Mapache with Dad while I get stuff done around the house!! 


 Relaxing while they getting The Magician's Nephew read to them!!

FRI-YAY!
I told the kids when we finish all our assignments for the week, we can have Fun Fridays!!! I hope to have a fun surprise of some sort for them on these days. It was beautiful outside, so they spent almost the entire day splishing, splashing, sliding, and jumping! Their surprise was a new sprinkler to run through, and we also got out the very old (and tiny) baby pool and slip-n-slide we had! They had a blast!! 

 We even had pizza for lunch and ice cream for our afternoon snack! This is the real deal!  



Evan has had a very loose tooth for so long, and he wants it pulled so badly! I have never been able to get them out! But somehow, when he brought me a paper towel at dinner and asked me to try, I found my grip and got it on the second try! yay!!! His fourth tooth to loose, and my first ever to pull out!! Way to go Evan!!
 He is so proud of his gaps!! haha!! 

I must quickly back-track.... On October 3, 2019, we began watching the Marvel movie series with the kids (10 mins to over an hour at a time, depending on what we had!). This includes 21 movies (excluding Hulk which we skipped) that Barrett and I saw every one of in the movie theater starting in 2008! We LOVE these movies! 

On Saturday, after watching ALL these movies with the kids in chronological order (not release order), we finished Avengers End Game together! This was a very big deal around here! 
Can't believe they will know the 'end game'!!!
Then Aunt Sang dropped off a very exciting, delicious and fun surprise! Cookies and icing!! What an awesome treat!!







Then we had a quick birthday parade- only 5 houses down!! We love you Christine!! 
Sunday we worked on cleaning upstairs and kids' rooms, with some outside breaks in the middle!
I am so happy to have a new biking buddy!! 
Got some one-on-one time with kids on their own rides!
Ellie wanted to practice her 'Splat' pose!! I think it looks pretty good! hah! 

And that's a wrap on our week!!

Trampoline Park

Went back to Trampoline Park on Sunday... LJ has gotten so much better and more confident - guess all the practice time on his little trampoline is paying off! Still so much fun for Dad...  And the Mamas finally get in on all the fun!  Last time we went I was VERY pregnant and couldn't jump... but not this time! I see a frequent Sunday family outing in our future! A little sliding time... And video gaming! Too much fun!!

Ellie - Our Earliest Crawler!

Our little 'surprise' baby got us again and started crawling 2 months earlier than the boys did! She was close for about a week, and then at just about 8.5 months, she took her first crawls! She is getting the hang of it quickly... time to secure the legos that seem to always be all over the floor! First she started rocking on her knees, and doing little army crawls/ knees/ army crawl to get places. Then about a week later, we saw her first crawls. Within a week after those first crawls, she was all over the place!!! She will come find me in the kitchen if I leave her sitting in the living room and will venture all over the house! She's not fast, but she's pretty good! And so proud of herself! Here are some videos of her progress... Ellie's first little mini-crawls: h ttp://www.youtube.com/watch? v=xm3GTgjZXbU And she has mastered the roll-to-sit move! Yay! http://www.youtube.com/watch? v=0cmXfOE3GrA Five days of crawling... she is so obsessed with the t...

Mother's Day Celebrations

Image
What a special and spoiled week I had!!! On Tuesday I picked these two precious things up from Champions:  Then the first celebration (well not including the Chick-fil-a mom-son date knight) was on Wednesday. LJ's class at WHPP had a Mother's Day Tea- and how lucky we were that Gigi came to town late on Tuesday night and was able to join me!!  Since Gigi was there (the only Grandmother in the room!), we got a table all to ourselves... and also LJ had twice the amount of work! He served both Gigi and me our tea/ lemonade, cookies, and fruit snacks!  He made me a very fun necklace and made me a new coffee mug all wrapped up...      I started crying when I read it: "This is the hand you used to hold when I was only 4 years old" with a hand print ned to it!!! How special!!  And a flower for Gigi!!!   This was outside LJ's classroom...  I am chopped liver with these two! Haha!!  We picked up Evan a...
