We pretty much took Friday off.  If I recall correctly, it was one of the days when we actually had snow on the ground, and we went outside again.  The kids came in long enough to eat lunch (after our walk) and then went outside to play in the snow with the neighbour.  Oh no, wait, Thursday we had snow on the ground and the kids played outside.  When I woke up on Friday, it had rained and most of the snow was gone.  The kids rode bikes in the afternoon.

We did homeschool today -- dh works Tues to Sat -- and it went fairly well.  The toddler is definately a hurdle, as she wants to be in the middle of everything, and is very loud.  After doing our usual reading, we played a couple of "math" games, and then I declared it "free time."  I looked up something on the computer and then practised the piano while the kids played.  They were playing at something make believe together, and I completely forget now what it was.  :P  I also pulled out the noodles, a craft they haven't done in a while -- they are foamish little bead things that you moisten and stick together.  M fell asleep early and we had lunch.  D has discovered that he can do most of the work for baked potato skins with cheese.  He washed and pricked the potatoes, and then I baked and cut them open.  He scooped out a bit of the potato and put on the cheese; I put them in the toaster oven.  While he was doing the cheese part, he was singing "Chef D" again and again.  It was very cute.

I'm reading "Awakening Your Child's Natural Genius" by Thomas Armstrong.  He has a ton of ideas for activities do to with your child.  I tried one, where you draw together on a piece of paper, to communicate.  We ended up just drawing together, which was nice.  Oh, I did it with D.
