Well, it is back to normal today. Lessons, laundry and leftovers. :) Much of yesterday was spent preparing for a special someone we all know and love's birthday! The kids and I wrapped presents, decorated the house, made cards, made a heart shaped jello mold that didn't turn out quite so heart shaped and took the birthday boy to lunch. We spent the evening playing outside, opening presents and eating! What a day. The children concluded the birthday festivities with a shower (always a big hit) and a sink bath for Andrew. By the way, you know your 10 month old has outgrown the bathroom sink when he goes slippy sliding and sloshes water way out of the sink, on the carpet and into Brian's shoes laying nearby. It was a fun day. NOW - back to the grindstone. Not really! But you know there is a certain sense of comfort and security in normalcy, even if it is laundry and mopping the floor 5 times.
The weather is beautiful so far this week and we are so happy. After a rainy week last week, we are enjoying it! We have a park day with the homeschool group tomorrow which we've missed 2 weeks in a a row due to rain and then on Thursday........the big ZOO DAY! The kids are so excited! We are learning about zoos this week and will make an excursion to the Houston Zoo on Thursday. I'm not sure who's looking forward to it more - me or them!
The children have been busy today - busy coloring, cutting, taping stamping. (Scotch tape is a hot commodity around here, esp. considering the gross amounts used yesterday by the master decorator himself.) I love to watch them be creative! One more reason I am happy to be homeschooling and watch this kind of activity throughout the day!
Thanks to all of you who made Brian's birthday so special!
Having Fun

Target has refill rolls of scotch tape on the clearance aisles...why do boys love scotch tape so? I have to hide mine.
