Wednesday: raisins

During snack time today Isaac started rolling the raisin container to me.  I rolled it back.  It went over a raisin.  *So funny.*  Even Joshua laughed a bunch.

So I tried again.  This time I squished all of Isaac's raisins.  *Hillarious!*

Isaac put up a water bottle to protect his raisins.  The raisin container knocked into it, causing it to crash.  *Big laughs*

Isaac put up two water bottles to protect the raisins.  The raisin container knocked into them, but didn't do anything.  *Still very funny*

Isaac moved the water bottles around.  The raisin container was diverted to the floor.  *Happy screams*

******************
We managed to lose one of the duplo trains between last night and this morning.  This afternoon, Isaac found it.  I asked him where it was and he said, "By the bowls."  The embarrassing thing about this is that there are bowls all over the house (thanks Joshua), so I still have no idea where it was.

Tuesday: a good day

I thought it was going to be a rather busy/stressful day.  It was busy, but it wasn't that stressful.

First off, it helped that I did most of my class prep yesterday.  Then today I dropped off the kids (with a crazy number of bags.  Seriously.  They're not there for that long...how do they need so much stuff?)  Then I went to Bible Study.  Then I had an hour before class, but that was enough to get to school, do a quick review, and get ready.

Class went well.  I tried asking specific students small questions for the review and that seemed to go well.  Then I had a help session for lab and no one showed up...so I was able to get a lot of stuff done.

I even had some time to clean and organize my office/storage closet.

I picked up the boys and we played quite a bit of Duplos during the evening.

Monday: misc

Isaac figured out how to get all four lights from his set to light up all by himself.  I didn't think it would work at all since the only theory he knows is that everything needs to connect in a circle.  He was very excited to show it off to everyone.

Sunday: snow!

Ahh...the last few weeks have been so nice now that we've had snow.  Last year I did get sick of the snow around March...I think it started in November...but only because we had no place to put it anymore.  I love watching it come down and making everything white.

Today it snowed most of the day.  A little bit of "I can easily see the houses across the lake" to "I can't see the houses at all!"  (The last one rarely happens.  The normal heavy snow is "I can make out house-like shapes if I move my head back and forth.)  It was lovely.  And it was super light snow, so we didn't get a ton of accumulation.  Probably just the right amount for sledding tomorrow.

Saturday: feeling better

Well, I did end up with a fever last night.  It's much nicer having a fever when there's someone to get you some medicine.  And it's super awesome to feel better again.  I love feeling normal.  I can think thoughts, I actually want to do things, and I can put forth more than the minimum effort.

Joshua was a little cranky today.  Isaac was a little non-listeny.  But we survived.

Friday: Friday night fever

I feel sick again.  Like a fever is coming on, but we'll see what happens.  There was a fever last Friday.  What a silly body.

Thursday: early morning

Thursday is our early morning day.  Joshua woke up a few minutes earlier than I was hoping, but it worked out well too...Tuesday I had to wake him up and he didn't open his eyes until I was almost done getting him dressed.

However the 8am class only took about 20 minutes today, so that was pretty awesome.  It gave me some extra time to get on top of things.  The rest of the day went pretty well.

Joshua's favorite song is Row Row Row your Boat.  He often does a little dance to it and says "row row" to get you to sing it again.
