We have a quiet, simple weekend ahead of us, and these are so rare anymore that I can't begin to think of the best way to spend the time.
Tomorrow John and I are going to try to get down to the promenade to watch a few birds and probably people too...
He wants to go to lunch after, and I think, considering the way the past week has gone, that would be a very good idea. I should try to do something nice with each of the boys.
School was a bear this week, and I just seemed to be telling someone off about every five minutes.
We are still trying to find our equilibrium after the trip back to PA and being off for three weeks. I am realizing how much we have to get done before we can say we have finished the year.
All the great projects that I wanted to do are still not done.
I have to start adding a research paper to each of John's History chapters, and that will be an adjustment. I have to get the drag out of the math lessons somehow.
I have to make PE happen on a more regular basis, now that we are stuck in the house for the next couple of months.
I wish I had a bunch of really creative projects planned, although there is a great Shakespeare workshop in the works, starting next week, and then a play.
John's Science is going really well, and the other two boys are getting a pretty firm foundation in Science this year. Tomorrow we are doing a couple of neat Physics experiments.
We have lost our dear Petra, who has taught all the boys piano for years. She has been so great with them, and I am so bummed about that. She has moved to New Jersey, and can't make the trips back and forth anymore.
I am going to have all three boys take voice next session, and I am looking for a new piano teacher.
We are hoping to start a nature group this Spring and I would love to learn a little about wildcrafting. Just for educational and personal use, of course.
John is so into birds right now, and we have enough space in the yard to try feeding some different birds this year. Wish I could figure out how to get that hawk to come back...
Well, maybe I will be infused with new energy. The sun has been out, weather is warmer, that has to help!
Maybe I'll have pictures of something cool by the end of the weekend.
