This week we got out of the house again! The first part of the week was nice and sunny, so we spent some lovely outdoor time. From Friday on though, it poured! It's been raining on and off since then. I'm so ready for nicer weather to stay.
We're in the last week of school! Tomorrow is officially the last day. I also start my doula training tomorrow and I'm so excited. I wish it could be in person, but I'll have to make do with it being on Zoom. It's 5 days long, 8 hours a day. Andy is taking off to be with the kids, but I'll be doing my meetings from our bedroom. We'll see how it goes! Haha. I can't wait to start attending births. It's just what I really love.
We binge watched Avatar with the kids, and we all 5 loved it. It was such a fun show. We would watch an episode or two in the afternoons, and then usually one or two before bed every day. Then of course the kids played Avatar all the time.
Hahaha!!
Reid was trying to rub rocks together to make a fire.
On Tuesday afternoon our family got to deliver boxes of food for the food pantry! It was really cool to get to do it together with the kids. Ruby and Reid were so helpful, Miles napped in the car. Haha
This is how Reid does his Morning Work sometimes.
He won't go lay down for naps, but he often falls asleep in the car or on the couch. I don't mind all that much.
My friend Suzy was going camping and they needed someone to come watch their Great Dane. The kids were so excited to go to their house for 3 nights! I told them all of the fun things they had, so they wrote them down and drew pictures for "tickets." Hahaha Miles kept asking, "When can we go to Suzy's house?"
They had a lot of fun with the sand! Until it started raining, of course. But we at least enjoyed the afternoon on Thursday and Friday morning.
Jet was HUGE! He was really sweet, until Miles kept bothering him. Jet got a little irritated at him, so we had to try to keep them separated from Friday afternoon on. That was a little stressful. We still had fun though.
We ran home on Friday for some things and Ruby found a 6 leaf clover in the front yard!!! We pressed it in our book with our other special clovers. It was so cool!
More sad box time and the legs of the tree house. It was super fun!
On Friday evening they were having a peaceful family protest at the high school, and we definitely wanted to participate. We can't stand for the racism that exists in our country and must do our part to fight it. We've been having lots of conversations about it as a family.
Before it started, the rain started... and it POURED!
Nevertheless, we marched anyway. The whole march was like 4 miles, but there were over 1,000 people there I think and it took forever to just get to the street. So we only marched a little ways before the kids were totally done.
I was super proud of them though. Thankfully it was close to our house so we made it home and got all changed into warm, dry things.
They loved these scooters and rode them all around Suzy's house.
These blocks were cool! Suzy's husband is a wood worker and made them and a ton of stuff around their house.
Saturday afternoon there was a little break in the rain and we went for a walk around the lovely neighborhood.
Bubbles!!!
He really was a huge dog. He loved both Ruby and Reid.
Back at home on Sunday morning in time for church! He's so cute.
We got up and just came home in jammies, and this is the first thing the kids did. Hahaha...
Monday morning and back to school for the last 4 days!
Reid is really getting tired of school, we're all thankful it's almost done. He's doing really well with his reading though, I am so proud of the progress he's made this year.
