I decided that the best way to so this would be to give each child one hour to do whatever they wanted. Bug (12.5yob) & I made oatmeal bread, made a comic strip online and played War (cards). Butterfly (11yog) & I made cupcakes & a cake for my mom's b-day tea tomorrow, made an angel craft for my mom & read from our back issues of The Girlhood Home Companion. Bunny (9yog) & I played 2 rounds of Thin Ice and one of Rummikub (board games) Bee (7yog) wanted to cook so we made potato farls (her FIAR recipe for this week). We also played a couple of rounds of an addition learning board game. Bear (4yob) had me read to him and do some fun activities from his B4FIAR and we played Thin Ice. He's also helping me make Pocket Pizzas for supper. Kitty (2yog) is sick today (still fighting a cold) so we just read & cuddled. Lamb & Puppy (4.5mo twins) take a lot of my time normally, but I made sure to sing, play and recite Scripture with them today. I wish I could say it was a great day, but it wasn't. When it wasn't their turn the dc were terrible to each other. SIGH Since we school year round I WAS going to make this our new schedule for Fridays, but not if it's going ot be THIS stressful! Oh, well. If I know kids & human nature, they'll only remember the good stuff and we DID make warm fuzzy memories today! Peace, Katie |
