Relaxed week and meal plan
Well hello, readers.
Sorry for the long break there. It wasn't a busy week; on the contrary, we got our three feet of snow on Tuesday and had a couple of days' break from activities as a result. It was a slow, relaxing week, and I sort of unplugged except for my work in my online class-- not for any reason, really, other than that the girls and I had some housebound time to do some fun non-technology activities, like finger knitting, play-doh, and reading The Long Winter (very appropriate for our snowy week!).
and there was letter-writing practice
and playing store
and coloring.
Pardon our mess. Creativity at work.
Our relaxed week was followed by a relaxing weekend-- M and I attended our church choir retreat at a camp in rural CT, where we sang all weekend and played games by the fire with our fellow choir peeps. The girls stayed with Grandma and Grandpa who didn't live very far from the retreat center at all. Super relaxing for all!
Because we did spend so much time relaxing, and because internet access was spotty in the CT woods, I'm a bit behind on my grading deadlines for the week. So I've got a lot ahead of me tonight, and I must get back to that, but I'll put our meal plan up quickly first.
(P.S. This is post-a-day February here at Sugar & Spice, and although I've already missed the first day, I'm going to try and be back here at least once a day for the next 27! So check in often!)
