That Holiday Spirit

We've been getting things ready around here. 

Mr. Piggy has returned.

And Lucy has no idea what is going on, but she thinks it's fun.

PE when it's Zero Degrees

I usually don't worry about Nate's "PE".  He has hockey and karate once a week and in general just runs around a lot.

This week however we are stuck inside with bitter freezing temps outside.  Since Monday, a long five days ago, we have been home bound.  Besides hockey our poor family hasn't even been taking the dogs for walks.

Today I thought we should move around a little.... So I fired up the Wii.    Jackie is down with the flu so I thought these would cheer her up.... and anyone that is stuck inside. 

I know they are long but I think they are all equally entertaining.

There are two others.  Here are links  Enjoy

We taught Nate how to play Monopoly.

 

 

He won. 

He reminds us several times a day.

Moment of the Week

 

A very nice Fall Break!

Fall Break

The way I have our homeschool year scheduled we have four-one week breaks planned throughout the year.  

This week happens to be our first break.  After seven weeks I am grateful for a breather, and the weather this week is going to be amazing!  I could definitely take advantage of this time off to get my fall cleaning done too, but mostly I just want to relax.  

Monday we made the drive to the Mammoth Site in Hot Springs.  

It is still an active dig site.  I think it is really awesome to have something so amazing so close to where we live.  

There are lots of mammoth skeletons in this site.

This site is actually a 26,000 year old sink hole.  So I've stood in a prehistoric sink hole, I can check that off the to do list of life.

It was a great field trip!

I am so looking forward to enjoying this week.
