Inclusive Tea Party

The pretty ladies included the angry bird in their tea-party. Very kind of them, don’t you think?

Weekly Calendar During Corona...

Little guy studying the simple weekly pictorial schedule I made to help the boy know what day it is, what our routine is, and what comes tomorrow. Doing what I can to help my kids thrive (aka not break down quite so often) during this time...

Swiss Braided Bread

H has now added this gorgeous Swiss braided loaf to his repertoire. I’ve never helped him one bit with this new recipe. He doesn’t need me anymore... waaaahhhhhh!!!

That's One Place

That’s one place to sit and color.

Mug Cakes

My older kids discovered microwaveable mug cake recipes.

Puzzles: Beginner Level

Most puzzles being worked on over here have been 500 pieces. But this kid had a different idea. His Daddy complied. 😊

Hiking the Corniche

Mike takes the kiddos to explore the Corniche. B always comes back with pockets full of rocks and a couple sticks in his hands. They love it.

Teddy Bear Tea Party

We had a Teddy Bear Tea Party (bunnies and bears welcome too). 🐻

Game-Date

A little game-date with this beautiful one back in my bedroom.

Few Nights in a Row...

A few nights in a row, once the younger children are headed to bed, these two settle here. They listen to Adventures in Odyssey and play Monopoly Deal. ❤️

Bubbles into the Sunset

Easter Joy

 

Grit (Puzzle by Candlelight)

Would you call this grit?!

Lunchtime

Lights Out (Easter Candle Tradition)

Last year we didn’t use our lights from Good Friday until Easter morning. As the sun set, our house grew darker. The lack of lights reminded us that Christ, our Light, had gone out of the world. We lit candles and stumbled around in the dark at night, which turned out to be an excellent reminder of how we would stumble through life without our Risen Savior. And then on Resurrection Sunday, the lights return, because our Light has overcome death. This is such a memorable time for the kids also, so I wanted to put it out there in case others were interested. Get your candles ready!

Lunch Spot

Wash Up

Some little kiddos built a handy dandy outdoor sink.

Planter Boxes

Pretty much doesn’t need help anymore. He’s building planter boxes!

Reading her Bible

She always wants her chance to read her Bible aloud like the big kids during morning devotions.
