Friday Quick takes for March 19

~1~
We are having beautiful weather here in So Ca! I've taken the kids twice to the park this week for P.E.

~2~
P.E. looked like this, (see above photo) kind of a "Calvin Ball" game- this one was like baseball, but with tennis racket. The dog would alternately assist the base-running, or foul you out. It was pretty exciting/and or confusing by turns.

~3~
Sky and I have re-discovered Antique Roadshow. It's quite addicting.

~4~
took the kids to McDonald's for Shamrock shakes for St. Patrick's day. I remember them from my childhood and it has become a St. Paddy's day tradition.

~5~
Our hockey team has only won 2 games, their second win somehow landed them in the playoff games for the league. They played against a team that has won 7 games and only lost 2. Somehow, our team beat them in overtime! It was one of the most exciting games I've seen!
(Amie is standing on the left- can you tell she is unsure about this team bonding thing?!)

~6~
I took Emma the wonder labradoodle to the vet to pick up some flea medicine. I had to take her so they could get her weight. Anyway, she hasn't been back since she was fixed. She jumped into the van, happy for a ride! She jumped out of the van, eager to greet the dogs she could see! We got inside, and she began to shake. She clearly remembered the place. Poor baby. We left, and she jumped very quickly back into the van, clearly very eager to leave!

~7~
I've given up any pretense at being a housekeeper this week. The laundry is piled high, and the kids have had a massive blanket fort in the front room for 3 days now.

And I LOVE the Antique Roadshow, although it's been a while since I watched.

We're having beautiful weather in AZ as well. It's been so ideal to be outside the past few weeks. I'll have to remember that when it's June and I'm scorching hot.

At 8:57 AM, Hen Jen said...: Hi Jenny,

stay cool in AZ!

Shalyce,

always happy to meet other homeschoolers! So glad you stopped by and glad you left a comment. Have fun with the schooling!
At 9:34 AM, Holly said...: You homeschool 5 children... Superwoman you must be... i have a hard time with just getting homework done...

I would think it would be hard to even raise 5 children much less choosing to homeschool them also... i bow to you... :-)

Thanks for visiting me over at my mess... good luck to you :-)

so glad you stopped by! Um, superwoman-no. Did you see the part about giving up on housework?

have a great week, enjoyed your blog!
At 3:17 PM, Lori said...: HA! A massive blanket fort--that is SO funny. My kids used to and still do forts. Guess it's something they'll never grow out of. My children did a fun activity one day called a painter's tarp bubble. The material are a painter's tarp, tape, scissors, and a box fan. I see you have your e-mail address in your profile. I will send it to you as an attachment. Even if your kiddos don't make it, it's fun to just look at and see what you can do with a painter's tarp. They have made this thing at least 5 times and it usually stays in our family room for days. Silly me, I never took pictures!
At 12:40 AM, Janae Moss said...: All of these comments just prove that you are an amazing mother. YES, even the piled high laundry because it shows you will stop to have some fun and that is just as important as reading! :)
At 12:46 PM, CM said...: Ha ha! Hockey with rollerblades! Now that's funny! Here in these parts, we wear ice skates, but I suppose in Cali, you don't find too many ice skating rinks!
