Walking...

We took a leisurely walk around the pond in our neighborhood this morning. Nice weather days make life a little bit easier!

Happy Mother's Day!

Happy Mother's Day to all of you amazing moms! I had a great day filled with love, a little peace, and my three favorite guys! These last several weeks have tested me as a mom and even as a human... I am used to being what my kids have always needed, but those needs have changed since I am the only person they have any contact with throughout the day. I am doing my best and we are all coping with a new normal. I am blessed beyond words to call my kids MINE! I will look back on this year and have a faint memory of the added stress, but mostly I will be grateful for all of the extra time I have been able to spend with my amazing kids! My husband always makes this day special and this one was no exception. Happy Mother's Day!!!

Deliveries...

A little science experiment courtesy of Nana and the arrival of some new books brightened our day today!

Spanish...

We have been trying to learn a little Spanish this week! Today we worked on colors and then the boys got to work on a color by number sheet in Spanish. They enjoyed having something a bit different to work on!

Breaks...

Our homeschool schedule is definitely getting more flexible... we try to do an hour of work and then a "fun" activity for 15-30 minutes and then go back to work and so on. Today one of our breaks was playing with some drones, which was actually pretty cool! The boys also made some bookmarks that Nana sent.

Blooming...

Nick and I ventured out to a few places this morning in search of flowers to plant. Not much variety at Menards or Home Depot, so I went to our local Culvers this afternoon and picked up many gorgeous flowers that will add some much needed color to our home. The best part is planting them! We found a home for everything and enjoyed some time outside today!

Fishing Fun!

We decided to go take a little fishing trip to the lake in Palo today! It was so amazing to get outside and even more amazing to get the boat on the lake! We didn't catch a thing, but these smiles were so nice to see! I cannot even describe how nice it was to see the joy on ALL of our faces!
