Thursday: today

Today was better than yesterday.  The days haven't been bad, but they've been annoying.  I feel ready for a break, but I'm not sure what I need a break from.  I also feel rather bad complaining since there are a lot of things going well and they can be easy to overlook when a few bad things happen.

The only thing the boys want to do is play Minecraft and we're giving in more and more.  It does mean that they're pro-active in getting their chores done though, so there is also some time management skills being learned.  Yeah.  That's what we're teaching. 100% legit.  (Also note that they only got the normal amount of screen time today.  We still say no a lot.)

Horizon tried to learn to read today.

Isaac wrote some of his spelling words in the snow.  He's been surprisingly willing to go outside now that there's snow, and is rather happy to work on the end of the driveway as one of his chores.

Don't you just wish we could keep the snow around for another month? It has been so nice for the kids to play outside, I'm dreading when it's back to mud and "nothing to do" weather!
