Today we went to the park and the kids played kickball and other games with a big group of other mostly homeschooled kids. Afterward we had lunch with some friends and then went to a duck pond to feed ducks. Yesterday we got a lot of hard core school work done (fun work though) so it was nice to be out in the sunshine for most of today.
Playing checkers with rocks and woodchips. Luke said, "Mom! Do you want to know how the game ended?! The woodchips blew away!"
Sylvia sat and ate snacks half the time.
Over the weekend everyone was sick except for Isabel and me. It was kind of nice because we got to go shopping together on Saturday and then to church on Sunday while everyone else was at home. With a newborn taking up so much of my time and then Sylvia demanding my time, I have to make a concious effort to spend quality time with Isabel. It scares me how much she loved going shopping. Then on Sunday before church, she pretended to be my fairy godmother while I was getting dressed (for the ball of course) and then I was her fairy godmother helping her get dressed.
I don't worry so much about spending time with Luke because I feel that he needs more dad time. Maybe this week we should have the boys (I mean MEN of course) go to a movie together.
