The boys have been off for the past 6 days, but life hasn’t slowed down any. We have friends visiting from Oman (it’s nice to be loved!), the boys still have baseball practices, pool parties and playdates with friends that require tons of driving around, and they each had school projects that had to be completed over the holiday. And of course they needed my help. Seriously?! I already went to school. The last thing I want to do on my vacation is research Jimmy Carter, document how I would spend a million dollars, try and keep an egg from breaking when it is dropped from a two story building, or measure the affect of diet on urine acidity. I’m having to do more work than when I was homeschooling. Boo.
Some days the only time she’s been able to catch a nap is while we’re in the car. (Not because I didn’t try to put her down for a rest at home, but because all the extra people around made napping alone much less appealing than playing with her brothers).
We are hosting Bible Study at our house tomorrow night, then several days of Halloween themed activities at school will round out the weekend. I’m hoping I’ll finally be able to slow down a little, sit down for longer than a few minutes at a stretch, and blog more regularly next week.
Edited to Add: I may be tired, but our Sleeping Beauty is actually non-Sleeping Beauty. We came upstairs at 11pm to find her lying in a patch of light in the doorway of her room, coloring and cutting paper into little bits — crafting away. Of course all 3 boys are snoozing. Calvin’s going to be thrilled that she got into his backpack while he was sleeping. I have no idea what to do with her. Put her in a padded room and let her play all night?
