Taking a break

My girls have off of school this week. At least the two that are in school. I am going to try and have Emily do her math each day as I do not want her to get behind with that. She gets too frustrated trying to catch up in math if she gets behind. The other subjects seem easier to catch up on. By the way, homeschooling has been going better. I had to revamp her spelling work. It took me awhile to decide, or realize that Emily was not used to having 25 spelling words and then 10 vocab words to have to learn, that's 35 words she had to memorize in all. She only had 10 words in school to memorize. I didn't want to back down, b/c I like to do things by the book so to speak, but she is a good speller, and I can't see that being a weakness for her. OK, thats my tangent for that day!!

Anyway, we don't have any big plans for the week. I am going to try and not do so much laundry, try not to obsess about keeping the house clean, so that I can spend some good quality time with the girls, and the baby too! What about you?

I forgot that you guys would have off school this week! Fun. I hope you get to do lots of things together. Do you have much snow?

Davin was home sick all week last week, so I am hoping to get everyone back to their normal schedules this week. That is the goal, anyway, but you never know!

Heather, no, we don't have much snow left. I was hoping to take them sledding this week. We do have alot of ice though. Maybe they wouldn't need a sled. They could just slide down the hill on their bottoms!!! LOL
