Week in the Life {Super Bowl, Frigid Temps, OT, School, Cutest Toddler}

Sunday, February 7th

Sporting our KC colors to cheer on the Chiefs during the Super Bowl.  The game didn't go in our favor but it was a fun night anyways.  The kids loved the food buffet we did last year so we repeated that.

Monday, February 8th

Just another day at BLISS Academy.

Evie doesn't like Daddy's pouty lip.

Zayden's writing prompt was, "Something I really want to do is...." 

His writing made my eyes leak.

Mia's writing made my heart laugh.

The big kids are working on adventure stories in their writing.

Blending his way into first grade.

Zayden and Ameliya went to Israel in Galloping the Globe.  Mia was feeling it.  

Natalee and Xavier also studied Israel and Natalee really wants to take a trip to the Holy Lands now. (me too)

Ev loves the boogie board.

Good morning!  Isn't she precious?

Learning time in math!

These little writers love their Draw Write Now!

I tried my first sensory bin with Evalynn.

Evie.  That is all.

Wednesday, February 10th

A regular old homeschool morning.

Day 2 of the sensory bin - and she's in time out for throwing rice.  She will learn.

Evie usually eats lunch and then when Daddy comes home she eats a second lunch - his lunch.

Little Evie had her first ponytail.

Making a late night 6x over batch of breakfast cookies with my girl.  It yielded about 6 1/2 dozen.

Hippotherapy was canceled because of the extremely low temps this week.

Thursday, February 11th

My precious naptime baby.

Cold temps or no these kids needed to run off some steam so I bundled everyone up well and they went out for about 45 minutes.  I had a warm lunch and cocoa ready when they came in!

I've been putting Evie at the table some to see if it'll help with her eating at lunch.  She's more willing to try new things when she's sitting with everyone else.

Natlalee working hard at OT with Shawni.

Trying that sensory bin again.  She's learning her limits.  And she's cute to boot.

Passing another cold weather day.

Friday, February 12th

Fun Friday!  We did a textured heart project to bring in the Valentine theme a bit.  The instructions were wonderful and it was fun to do something a bit different.

The children learned about texture, tinting, and shading in this project.

Saturday, February 13th

We had a 9:15 basketball game for Xavier.  His team scrimmaged the girls' team.  

It was a lot of fun to watch.  

The snow was blowing and coming down again when we left so we headed home and spent the rest of the day doing our weekly cleaning.  Mike and Mia worked on her Valentine's box and the kids played after chores.  Just a quiet ole Saturday.

Evie was here for nighttime snuggles.
