Today the expected high was only 54F. It rained most of the day, and was dreary even when the precipitation stopped.
We had some late risers this morning, so not much school work got done before my mops meeting and subsequent table group zoom. So, when it was finally time to go back to work, after a lazy morning for my little ones, Juliet had a hard time adjusting.
She told me that the work I give (from her teacher) is way harder than what her teacher gives. She also lamented that her teacher always gives free choice. I tried to snap a picture to send to her teacher of her pout, but she couldn't help but smile at her own ridiculousness.
I got an email encouraging particpation in a PTO driven teacher appreciation activity. They asked for pictures, so I used the pillowcase & paint application to save on printer ink!
William had a google meet with his class this afternoon, and I'm fixin' to go to one for all the parents in Alice's class.
After second recess I washed all of William's bedding and did one more lice treatment, despite the lack of evidence I've seen all week, just in case.
I also took a toothbrush to the upstairs screens, since they were all dusty. That then lead to vacuuming the upstairs before I started dinner.
For dinner we had hot dogs and beans. William likes it enough to ask for seconds and the rest of us like it well enough that we eat it fairly often.
I also began my research for a regular homeschool option this fall, just in case the schools start back before we are willing to send our "history of respiratory issue" babies back into a public school building. It's exciting and intimidating, but the stakes are high enough to make it worth it.
We had an ideal start time for our bedtime routine, so I had time to read an extra book, my favorite of the bedtime stories, Llama Llama Red Pajama to my babies.
Hopeful for a drier, warmer day tomorrow!

January 13th
Today was cold, but we did make it above the freezing mark! I was expecting a high near 40F, but the warmest I saw while driving was 34F. We must have gotten some snow yesterday in addition to all of the ice, because it was pretty thick on our stairs when we left this morning.
After taking my dear little ones to school I checked the mail and then took the recycling over to Sarah's. It was still before 9, so I stopped and got gas at Meijer, then headed to Aldi. It's been at least a month since I've been able to do my normal shopping rotation Aldi/Meijer, so it felt good to be back at it!
From Aldi I headed back to Meijer to finish the rest of my shopping. They were quite busy compared to my normal trips! Maybe there were some Sunday people there?
Next on my shopping route was the VOA on cedar. I perused their aisles, but only ended up with a couple of books for Leon, a replacement sewing ruler (toddler Alice broke mine 6 or 7 years ago!) and a curtain for my latest project. I decided against a blanket for a project for Emily, but messaged Sarah later in the day and she went back for it, since she lives kind of nearby! <3
When I arrived home, it was already afternoon. So I quickly sorted all the things I'd brought home and started on my sewing project (a different one than I started yesterday of course.) I wanted a cape for the upcoming Viking fest, but they wanted $30 for the ones I priced out, and when I was looking at it thought: "I could probably make that!"
So, I did. I didn't quite finish before it was time to pick up my children, but I finished sewing it before the PTO meeting tonight. I still need to attach the buttons, but it came out cute. It's a little shorter than I wanted, so Alice might be getting it, and I'll find another curtain to repurpose. I'll also need to pick up Emily's blanket to make hers sometime this week.
For dinner we had Taquitos with sour cream & veggie bites shaped like dinosaurs (from Aldi!) I thought that they were pretty good.
The PTO meeting had so many upcoming dates and events! I'm already tired just listening to all the plans, but we'll make it happen!
It was a shot night, and since I didn't get back until almost 8, we rushed through bedtime, because Emily has to be at school early tomorrow for a Student Council meeting. And right before bed, we called Enisi to wish her a happy birthday!

P.S. Oh, and it's been a year since I organized my drawer, Marie Kondo style. This is how my drawer looks tonight. I love it!
