What We Learned- 4-8 Feb 2013

We learned this week, that I need to cut back on how much I try to cram into the workboxes. We managed to get Monday and most of Tuesday done. We were suppose to do Thursday on Wednesday and Wednesday on Thursday ('cause we were going out to town Wednesday night, getting home Thursday evening), but we sort of hit a crabby wall on Wednesday morning that was 2 people thick so we just said forget it. For the rest of the week.

Oh, I only managed to take one photo. I had Emma playing with volume in the tub, so I took a picture of that. Not gonna put that up here though.

AND, I managed to forget that Friday was Friday until 2:30. That's an hour and 30 minutes after Emma's horse lesson was suppose to start.

I have successfully won the worst mama of the month award.

So, this last week was kinda a bust, but I think it was also a reality check. I need to remember that Emma likes to learn, but on a more relaxed pace. So, over the next week or two we will be reevaluating our approach to learning.

I will let you know what/when we figure out our next plan of attack! If you have suggestions, I would love to hear them.

What We Learned 28 Jan - 4 Feb 2013

This week we learned...

That Mama can walk for 30 minutes when it's really cold outside when she talks to Auntie Amber on the phone (and not rush Emma too much). 

That Emma's view of the world is pretty cool.

That marble painting is still fun.

That Gramma makes some pretty cool worksheets (even when she misses hugs).

That some mornings it's just hard to get moving, and even harder to just go back to bed. 

That making things out of Borax and pipe cleaners is really fun. 

That Da getting an unexpected 1/2 day off means family game time (Lego Minotaurus). 

That Emma can get a half-way decent photo of me (and that we really need to hang our Borax creations up somewhere else)

That a heart riding a bicycle (made out of model magic) makes Da smile.

That Emma draws a pretty great map of Austria

That Gramma is a great inspiration to Emma

That Gramma misses hugs :0)

That the Electric Company is AWESOME -wait- we already knew that. 

That writing letters in our giant recliner is a bit cramped, but cozy.

That Emma is really good at Checkers.
