The weekend is finally here and I for one, am glad. We have a Michaels craft tomorrow morning and the free attraction day on Sunday. We have Chris and Chris staying the night on Saturday and potentially Karyn and her parents joining us at the museum. Friends and educational fun is always a terrific combination.

This morning I got up bright and early to get us all ready to head out to weigh Echo only for us to decide to use our own scale and stay home – Ken was up late working and had had only an hour of sleep. 8lbs 11.2oz… don’t ask me where she is putting it?? She gained close to a whole pound in 2 weeks again! And yet so few of her clothes are fitting, everything else is too big!

Creeping up on 9 lbs!

So instead with everyone up and alert (except Ken who had to take a nap), we got right to work on the homeschooling. I am loving the individual folders with worksheets… each of the twins took out the sheet of their choice and worked on that while Trinity coloured some of the pages I left her in her own folder… and coloured her folder.

Emanuel chose to do a puzzle on his own – our floor puzzle of Thomas. All by himself he actually finished it for once!

All done!

Trinity gave our Pocoyo puzzle a go but it was Gavin who sat down and basically finished it for her.

I actually managed to finish a scrapbook page for Echo last night – this one for when Esther came and spent the weekend with us. I have to cut out more shapes with the last of my metallic paper using Karyn’s Cricut as I have been using the ones I made for fun up on her pages at a faster rate than expected.

With the weather turned nice and us home for another day we balanced out time between the kids playing outside and downstairs, early to bed and a quiet evening for Ken and myself. Maybe take some photos of Echo once she gets nice and asleep, play a game on the laptop, watch tv… I don’t have a pattern to work on so I am a little limited but I also am a little burned out so maybe it is time for a down evening.
