Homeschooling in Illinois

Mar. 10, 2008

Quick Getaway

On Thursday we headed down to Indianapolis with my MIL and SIL. This was our Christmas present from my MIL. We stayed at a hotel and got to swim.

Even though the pool water wasn't cold, the kids still preferred the hot tub.

The two little ones didn't want anything to do with going in the pool. They were happy throwing things into it. I need an indoor pool. It was the first time in a long time that I was pain free. The water took the baby and all the pressure off of me. It was wonderful.
The museum was lots of fun. Princess C's favorite part was the mirrors.

She had so much fun seeing lots of Princess C's.
We met up with one of my SIL's blogging buddies, EEEEMommy. It was neat to meet a blogger and find out you people really do exist! hehe... Between the three families, there were 5 adults and 13 kids.

Angel's oldest is 10 and D had such a great time with him. D was glad to play with someone more his age for a change. Usually he is stuck with his brother and cousins who are all 6. I wish we lived closer for some play dates!

i totally agree about needing an indoor pool. i have the worst pelvic pain when pregnant and being in water is all that can releive it.

I love special treats like that (and isn't the pool glorious? I can hardly wait to get mine - even if it will just be a kiddie pool. LOL!)

About Me

Oh, the crazy things that happen in my house.... I am the wife of M for 8 1/2 years now. I am the mother of a 10 yo boy - D, 6 1/2 yo boy - N, 4 yo girl - Princess C, 2 1/2 yo boy -Toddler B, and girl Lil' L 1, and a new little blessing due Jan 31. I've been homeschooling since 2003. I lean towards a Charlotte Mason approach, but more often than not, it's "whatever works".
