Processing

I promise I’ll stop with the constant homeschooling posts.  I promise.  This picture is to show off the new color on the dining room, not the miracle of all 3 kids working at the table at the same time for a long enough period for me to snap a picture.  Silje was working on grammar.  David wanted to “do school” so I pulled out the new handwriting program with him.  Elias refused to be left out, so he got to play quietly with markers.  The price paid for that moment of silence in him is a very “colorful” boy at this moment.

 

Now that it’s done, there’s nothing I’d like better but to declutter my entire house to match the serenity of this new room.  However, the kids are in desperate need of routine after yesterday’s Easter celebrations.  If I have time later this week, I’d love to share another reflecting-type post on thoughts that fill my brain that I do feel the liberty to share.  My to do list is long, though, so we’ll see what gets done.  In fact, as I setting up school for Silje this morning, I thought of something else to add to the to-do list, and ran over to my list to write it down before I forgot.  However, I didn’t “run” fast enough because my thought was gone by the time I had my pen.  If I didn’t write things down, I don’t think I’ll ever remember them. 

First up today during free time: give Lena a bath.  She smells like fish and I’m not sure how that happened.  It’s awful.  Ugh.  I hate giving her a bath.  Life goes on…processing it will have to fit in somewhere.
