Jan. 23, 2008 - Back to Blogging :)
I took a hiatus from blogging for a time. I was feeling that I just needed more time for other pursuits, especially over the holiday months. I had felt like maybe I was the only mom who took a break from blogging in November & December, but now as I read other blogs I see that was surely not the case!
We had a good holiday season and a wonderful short break from our schooling routine. I indulged in our time off from schooling by reorganizing the house as the kids played with friends.
My youngest daughter now has a room of her own what with big brother getting ready to move to Arizona in a few short months. Since he only used the room to sleep in at night, it made more sense for her to have it. She now has a space all her own to play in. Over the holiday break we had painted the room and she got a new dolly station (a doll bed with a cabinet underneath to store doll clothes & such) There wasn't room for that when sharing with big sister. And she can spread her barbies out on the floor to play and it doesn't interfere with big sister having friends in her room. We also put up a tall five shelf bookshelf in there as well. I am certainly enjoying that! We were able to do away with three small bookshelves that were in other spots around the house. That gives us a little more space here & there and keeps all the paperbacks and picture books in one spot too. No more guessing where, on which bookshelf, a certain book may have ended up!
Well, today is quiet day here today. I led a LaLeche meeting this morning. My two girls went with me. Then they went to bake at a neighbors house. The two younger boys were home doing some school on their own, under big brother's supervision, while we were gone. Amazingly, they got everything done that they were supposed to before I even got back home! That was a first! So then they were off to go play with friends and shovel some snow. I even managed to get a scrapbook page done before leaving to take my oldest to work! Wow! Now I am up to starting on pics from August. If I'm diligent enough, I just might get to the Christmas pics by Easter time.
I have a meeting tonight at church, so then when I get back from that we'll have read aloud time before bed. My youngest already has her stack sitting by the couch and the boys are eager to know what new book I have planned to read with them. I told them I am keeping it a surprise!
