Art and Robes

 A while back Joshua made a bunch of signs so that we know what we're supposed to be doing in different rooms.

Sleeping in the bedroom:

Cooking in the kitchen:

Studying in the classroom:

He made a cat named Pumpkin for his teacher.  He asked her during his small group what she would name a cat (any cat) if she got one.

On Monday the boys had their swimsuits on a bit early and were cold.  I gave them my robes.  Isaac has been wearing it a ton.  It's a bit of a problem because that is my main robe.

I was reading on the couch today and Horizon kept joining me.  Of course, it was always after he checked to see if he could get in the bedroom where Ben was sleeping.  I was just the second choice, but I'll take it.

 

Saturday: groceries

 I might be done with grocery pick-up.  I'll admit it has its perks, like being able to order the groceries at any point, but I've been starting to miss actually going into the grocery store.  I know, it surprised me too.  I was excited to actually get a subscription for pick-up in February and while it has been really nice some weeks today was annoying.  It wasn't bad, but it took a bit longer to have them bring the groceries out than I was expecting.  And I don't like dealing with all the substitutions over text.  And I really like being able to see all my options...especially if the exact thing I want isn't available.

I'm not completely sure when grocery shopping will happen.  It might have to be on the weekend, which is normally busier at the store.  Some weeks I might be able to take the boys with me.  But I'm ready to find my own items and get the items from the store I normally shop at.  

I guess we'll see what happens.  We'll see how I feel next week about grocery shopping.  We'll see how I feel in the store if people aren't wearing masks properly (or at all, even though it is still mandated by law).

I also got a picture from yesterday.

Friday: corn maze

 Today was supposed to be a beautiful day (and it was!) so we made plans to go to a corn maze with Cheryl.  It was smaller than the "popular" one in the area, but it was still fun.  I'll admit, the size was just about right.  There was also a playground that the boys played at for quite some time.  I thought they were going to get bored rather quickly because it had a bunch of toddler castles (along with a large boat play structure) but they played hard for quite a while!  (Yes, I know the masks are being worn improperly, but it's because there were no people in sight.)

It was also packet pickup day for the boys, which I find rather fun.  It's like getting a present every two weeks.  I'm not sure the boys feel that way since it also includes a lot of work, but I don't make them look at it.  Anyway, Joshua received the moral focus award for Wisdom this past month.  I didn't hear why, but often another piece of paper comes home in a month that is on the wall at school.

Thursday: normal

 It was a rather normal day.  I was pulled in several directions at once in the morning.  I taught.  We went to karate.  We picked up I-HOP for dinner.  The boys have wanted it for a while.  Well, they always want it but it's been a while again.  I've been asking them lately what we should have for dinner because I don't want to deal with it and they always say pancakes.  It isn't helpful.

Wednesday: oops

 Oops...I didn't realize it's been so long since I posted.  It's been a weird week...either nothing to really talk about or stuff I don't want to talk about.

Today the boys made a tower.  They were excited that it was taller than me.

Found

I was cleaning the quilting area yesterday and decided that my trash can box should be emptied.  The area doesn't make much trash, so I don't think I've emptied it in the seven years that it's been there.  While doing so, I found some long, long lost items.

Once upon a time, when Isaac was about two, he received some old keys in one of his Easter eggs.  I was especially proud of this idea, because it was a time that he was really into keys and he was able to get a non-treat item.  However, about an hour later he had lost his keys.  I was disappointed because I thought that he'd really enjoy playing with them, but in the end it wasn't a big deal since they were old keys anyway.

I've now found them, but don't know if I should feel happy for finding a lost thing or sad that no one wants to play with them anymore.
