It's been a slow week here at least with regards to school. I think we got a full day in on Monday. The rest of the week was hit with one distraction after another.

Adam had a dental check-up on Tuesday. It was a quick afternoon appointment but anything out of the ordinary really throws off our routine. We could have finished school in the morning but with everyone having to get dressed, well.... Oh dear, I know that is a pitiful excuse! LOL By the time we got back from the dentist, the snow was falling... and falling... and falling.

We had a field trip scheduled for Wednesday. I was really looking forward to this play about Paul Revere. But, alas, the snow just kept falling. The play was cancelled due to weather and we took a snow day on Wednesday. We did manage to squeeze in a couple subjects but mostly, the kids played in the snow. We went to church/Awana that evening.

Thursday was another field trip. This one was to a fire station. I thought Evan would enjoy this one since I don't think he's ever visited a fire station. He wasn't overly impressed. LOL But everyone had fun visiting with friends.

Afterwards, we went over to Stephanie's house to visit. My boys have just recently been introduced to Monopoly (real Monopoly; they've been playing Monopoly Jr. for years). They badger me constantly to play this amazing time eater. They played Monopoly while visiting so I hope that fix will hold them for a while! LOL

We left Ryan there to spend the night. He's never slept away from home except at Grandma's house. I thought I would worry about him all night but I was fine... and, as far as I know, he was fine too. I've got to go get him when Matthew wakes from his nap.

Today has been an off day since Ryan isn't here. I didn't even try to get Adam or Evan to do any school. We'll catch up next week... or the next.

I would have never known it was his first night away. No problems.

He should have his "fix" for awhile as he and Kellen have played Monopoly all day long today! They are having a grand time!

I'm jealous of your snow day! I'd really love to take a mountain trip so my kids could get an idea of what snow really is- they really have no idea!

I am sooooo jealous of your snow. That looks like real deal, unlike the little half inch or so we had recently.

A snow day isn't a day off school ... it's Physical Education in one giant block of time. LOL

Beautiful snow. How nice to have snow to enjoy.
