I haven't blogged in two weeks. Sometimes there are other priorities in life other than my blog. So let me just catch you up on what has been keeping me so busy. After enjoying two weeks off of homeschooling for Christmas break, we were back in session on the 3rd, this is the big reason I haven't blogged the past two weeks. The start of a new semester meant extra planning, trying out some new curriculum, and just getting back into our normal routine of life. Normally when we are coming off a break, the adjustment of starting up homeschooling is rough but this time it was easy breezy lemon squeezy as Annagrace has been saying way too much and we are all quite sick of that statement. :) So back to homeschool, here is something fun we did. We learned about the Washington monument and the kids made their own replica, there were no rules, just build the monument as you wish. And this is what they came up with. Camden's, then Jadon's, followed by Anna's.
Something else that has been keeping me busy is KandidsbyKorri. Although my busy season is over I had a few big projects, one of which is I did a photo shoot for Aqua Tots (our friends own the business) and they needed some updated photos to use for their publicity. It was so fun and the best part is I got to use my kids as models. I am in love with these three pictures of them. They melt my heart. Just the first three are of my kiddos while the other ones are just a few of my favorites. I think I took close to 500 photos, but luckily I didn't have to edit them. I can't wait to see the finished product(s)!
We got a Botanical Gardens yearly pass for Christmas this year from my mother in law. We have been itching to use it so one day after homeschool we invited Grandma to go with us and we had a great time. I LOVE that place.
That brings me today when our church hosted a free baseball clinic for the community. There were several MLB players who were there and probably about 800 kids. It was so much fun. I got to take some pictures, and enjoyed every minute of it. Here are just a few. I wish I could name all the players but baseball is not a "smart" area for me. I know they are all pretty popular though!
In addition to all the above, I should mention a few other things that have kept me busy: laundry, managing a household, starting up a Bible study, going on a date with my husband, having sushi with a great girlfriend, a homeschool planning meeting for the field trip group we belong to, family dinner at the park, orthodontist appointments for the boys, gathering papers for taxes, and filing all of our bills from 2010. All this to say there simply aren't enough hours in the day! But, somehow it all manages to get done. So here I am on a Saturday night at 6 p.m., what shall I do next??????
