We had so many plans for this Sunday, but they all went to the wayside when Cae woke up feeling funky and continued to get worse all day long. There were many whacky and crazy moments today, but I will spare you the gory details. I, instead, will focus on the nice pleasant moments of calm family fun. Audrey read an entire novel and played her guitar, Logan drew some pictures and read a book and chased his brothers around the house, Caelan laid around the house feverish, Rowan and I made a terrarium with the violas I got at Trader Joe's the other day (we will see how that turns out), and Sagan read some Calvin and Hobbes comic books. I tried like crazy to make some headway on Fiona's birthday gift, and Mike worked on some music. And for some crazy reason I worked on organizing things. I cleaned out the pantry, and spice cupboard and our "schooling" bookshelf.
I can no longer live by the seat of my pants when it comes to our homeschooling. I found some great ideas on
Wee Folk Art, the have made up a homeschooling sort of template for little kids, Rowan is truly the age it is targeted for, but I feel I can totally fill in the gaps and make it fun and wee bit challenging for all of us and help fill our days with something other then mindless TV watching and computer time. Sometimes I think the bickering we have going on here is a result of some serious boredom. I think doing a little bit of structured something every day will be good for us. Knowing that we have a bit of predictably might help the days run smoother, at least that is the hope.

So sorry that Caelan is unwell. Hope he is feeling better today. We have had a lazy catchup weekend with Dave. It has been nice. On the homeschooling front, I have found limiting our screens to be a huge help. We are back making and doing which I love so much. Good luck.
thanks. sadly i get a bit lax on that and then all heck breaks loose.
i am glad dave is home.
Poor Cae! He looks flushed in that picture. I've found that limiting screen time allows for so much more creativity and activity! Playing music, building, talking, taking a walk, reading, writing, riding bikes, and on an on. I'm not just talking about for my son, but for myself as well. :)
i agree. i am on waaay too much as well.and i get so much done when i turn off the tv and computer.
I really hope Caelan is better by now and that noyone else gets sick. You are using DPN!
