We had one of those, were suppose to take it easy weekends but ended up busy...lol...We all had a good time though, so thats really what matters. Heather is gone to Grandma and Grandpas till tomorrow, so hopefully she is having a good time as well. This weekend we had a family "special" dinner. Which means we all head to the grocery store, pick what we want to eat, purchase it together, cook it together and then eat by candlelight. I love it. We usually so it every other weekend, but lately its been every week. The girls went for a sleepover on Friday night, which they had a great time at. And people call homeschoolers anti-social..rofl..I think my children have more of a social life then I ever did growing up.lol.
We went for a nature hike as well down to the beach. We have this piece of shoreline by our house that is at the bottom of this HUGE cliff...huge drop down...we scaled down it and spent some time rock hunting and river glass hunting. We also found a stone with quartz in it! We took another rock and broke it out, it was so much fun.
We also saw this huge mass of birds, so we spent some time watching them and trying to figure out what they were. We still haven't figured out what type of bird they were. We had a great hike and are loving the fact that we haven't got a whole lot of bad winter weather yet. The weekend was full of amazing discussions about so many different things. I just loved it. Now we are starting another week and I am looking forward to it. We dont have any plans for this week really. Today I want to get some laundry done. I am tempted to send my youngest in to mountain climb it so I think today would be a good day to get some done, and the floors need washing. Tomorrow I am babysitting some of my neighbours children so we will be around home tomorrow as well. Thursday were going to go swimming I think. Other then that were free. Tyler has decided to give up on the whole cub thing. He says that he is not learning anything and he doesn't feel like its worth the rush around to go to stand in a circle. I agreed with him, but I am a bit worried about him just quitting something. I dont know. I would never force him to go, but I also dont want him to keep quitting things. We shall see , he has till tomorrow to figure out what he wants to do.
Anyway , I am off to start our day. I will write about our day this eve.
cheers
