Homeschool Mothers Journal - Week 36

In my life this week.....

We have been getting back into the swing of things being at home.  We had a full week of practices and music/dance lessons.  We did have to miss one club meeting that we really wanted to go to because Lydia had an appointment to have the ortho doctor check her wrist out after last week's fall.  There was also med checks for all three kiddos.

I have not been feeling great at all this week.  I don't know if it's the constant changes in weather, but I have started having the same med issues I was having almost two years ago.  So trying my best to take it easy in the evenings and stay active and keep moving, especially on days where I do not have time to exercise.

In our homeschool this week....

We finished all our work.  Doing a happy dance!!!  I was careful not to overschedule our schoolwork.  I scheduled half our subjects daily and the other couple just twice during the week.  It gave the kids a chance to get back into schoolwork "at home".  I mean we did school while we were in TN and I kept their to-do list similar to what we do at home, but still it was different.  And the boys were back into griping mode and were finding new ways to hide skipping assignments.  But that is a whole other subject.

Places we are going and people we are seeing....

Lydia had violin.  Caty started back to tap this week.  Lydia missed gymnastics due to her hand injury.  The ortho doctor thinks she probably bruised the bone or tendons...or both.  So he said to miss this week, and see how she is doing next.  She is doing better already, so she has a make-up class for tomorrow.  We had med checks, which are always a crack-up.  The med students fight to see who gets to be in the room with the kids (our dr. has med students do their clinical work with him).  Our kids definitely give them a run for what reality is like for families with multiple kids with special needs.

Projects I'm working on.....

This weekend I am working on lesson plans for all the kiddos till the end of March.  Updating the review calendar and I got behind on my blog posts.  I ran out of post-dated blog posts.

I was also looking at Home Speech therapy ideas to use with Ms. Caty and after pricing the games that the therapist suggested realized that I didn't have the extra 100.00 right now.  So I found a great website to print games from.  I have a huge stack to laminate, cut apart and get ready to start this next week.

I'm reading.....

I figure I'll finish it by the time the movie is out on video...

I'm cooking.....

I made stuffed pepper casserole this week.  Homemade chicken noodle soup (which got my nieces taste approval..lol).  Today I am going to put a lasagna in the oven so we have leftovers for tomorrow.  Little things here and there.  I also created a brownie recipe that Brayden and Joey loved.  So I am going to make them again this weekend and actually write down the recipe..lol.

A picture to share this week.....

Lydia's new hobby...She's attempting scrapbooking.  She has done a page a day so far.
