This Time It's Not My Fault!

Seriously it's not, and that's my story and I am sticking to it!  I went to get the laptop to post last night and the husband nabbed it while I was in the bathroom!  Anyway, we had a ton of fun yesterday.  We worked on our school work in the morning and I only had to keep Alex motivated a few times.  We did some science yesterday and the topic was "Our Hands".  We discussed good things we can do with our hands and things that are not good things to do.  Then we made hand print art!  I have some creative boys (Eric joined in)  I showed them a few ideas on pinterest of what people had made out of hand prints and they took off.  I even enjoyed squishing some paint between my fingers.

Later on we had our Family Night.  We decided that we call Family Home Evening, Family Night and we hold it on Wednesdays.  Wednesday is better for our schedule and somehow it has gotten easier when we quit trying to be so formal about it.  I was in charge last night so we talked about building and strengthening our family.  I got our Jenga blocks and put tape on them and we each wrote ideas that help build up our family.  Then we stacked them up Jenga style.  Then, after the tower was built we proceeded to remove blocks and talked about why we do things, and when we don't what it does to our family.  Finally our tower (family) fell down and we talked about how sometimes we fall down, but we have to get back up again.  It was fun and the kids liked it.  For dessert we had apple nachos!  YUM! and that was it.

I would post about today too, but it is a tough one.  Alex is sick with a tummy bug and really not up to doing anything but rest (which is fine with me).  I hope this is all over with by this evening or tomorrow morning and I hope nobody else catches it.  He seems to be doing a bit better and the color is returning to his face.  So, I prepped dinner and have enjoyed playing with baby girl!  I know I should probably take the time to catch up on housework, but I really don't want to do it, I just want to giggle with my baby girl.  (Who just woke up from her nap)  Hopefully things will be better tomorrow.
