This week was the first week, since December I think, that we have not had someone coming or going or preparing to come or go! It was nice to get back into our normal routine and have a quiet week.
Last weekend when we were out bike hunting for Sarah, I noticed that Toys R Us had Dr. Seuss books on sale. I picked up a few replacements. We have been through several copies of Hop on Pop, definitely a family favorite. We also bought Are You My Mother? and Big Red Book of Beginner Books. We have been reading the books all week.
The younger kids did some Do – A – Dot Art. Can’t believe how much stuff is available on-line {for free!} to do with these markers. My kids enjoy them and then are virtually mess free, I enjoy that!
I printed out letters to spell each of the younger kids names, but the sky is the limit and there is tons of fun stuff to do. I won’t even attempt to link to any of it because there are so many pages. If you have preschool/lower elementary age kids I highly recommend these markers. They would make a great addition to the Easter basket!
The older kids started off each morning doing some math drills, a refresher on multiplication facts.
We’ve been reviewing Ancient Rome with Heritage History. I will have a longer review on the products next month, here’s a sneak peek though, a big thumbs up!
We’ve also been adding a bit of notebooking in our week. So far I’ve been very happy with what the kids have been doing. I will share more on that soon too.
Around the House:
Week 3 de-cluttering is in the books. We got rid of a lot of junk! Old papers, crafting supplies, old coats, boots, just to name a few things. My house feels better already and we’re only half-way through our de-cluttering mission.
Fit & Healthy:
Friday we start the Ultimate Reset, a 21 day reboot for your body. Good way to finish out the last weeks of Lent. Then we start Insanity. I’m a wee bit nervous about starting that program, but I’m trying to go into the challenge with a positive attitude. Have you ever tried Insanity or any other Beachbody program?
Blog Happenings:
We celebrated a birthday last weekend, and I blogged a bit about how birthday’s can be a bit more complicated when adoption is involved. I did my third week of encouraging and inspiring quotes, and then on Wednesday I shared one of our favorite easy, healthy, frugal dinner meals. It’s a great meal to have during Lent!

That dinner looks delicious!! All those veggies! Do-a-dot markers were a favorite around here for years. Fun and clean.
I love the notebooking pages. I look forward to seeing more.
yay for Notebooking!!! I’m also proud of the decluttering you’ve been doing. It looks like it was a good week, Jen.

We love Notebooking too. Isn’t it awesome? I am feeling the ‘urge’ to declutter too. Not much motivation but definitely some ‘urges’
I love ‘normal’ weeks too but we seem to have too few of them! You have such precious kids.
