I’m sure they won’t look like this when they get there, but the kids wanted to try it.

 

 

We just finished our second week back doing our school work and one of the biggest challenges is this little daredevil!

 

 

But he’s so stinking cute, it’s hard to stay frustrated for too long.

 

In addition to school work we had friends come over on Monday, a trip to the park with friends on Tuesday, gymnastics and church on Wednesday.  Thursday, Foster had chess club and Cub Scouts and Katie had American Heritage Girls. Then I got to go out to eat with a friend! Friday we finished up school for the week, then dropped off Katie and Theodore for sleepovers. Katie stayed all night but Theodore ended up needing to come home, sad and scared at 10:30 pm. It’s really tough being 5.

 

It’s chaos but I’m thankful for it.  Sometimes, though, I have to stop and contemplate the beauty of something God created so I can remember that he is here with me in the thick of it.
