My Week in Review/Weekly Wrap-Up

On Sunday, my mom, Kiddo #4 and I had a "girl's afternoon out."  The guys were watching football playoffs.  We headed to the mall for some lunch, a ride on the carousel and a stop at Build a Bear. (forgive the quality of the photos, as they were taken on my phone.)  Gotta love the last photo which was our selfie.  Mom is on the left and I'm in the center.  Kiddo is on the right with Olaf who accompanied us to the mall.  You can see him strapped in and enjoying the carousel ride with her.  :-)

It is definitely winter here in PA.  Cold isn't even the word for it.

Guess it's a good thing that we were starting back up with our school work this week since we are cozy and warm.  Kiddos 1 and 2 started back with some of their online classes.  Kiddo #1's next college class starts up next week.  His online class that started today is called Spaceflight Operations and is being taught by a NASA scientist.  Ok, how cool is that?  And, part of his homework is to try out this flight simulator they had to download.  My guess would be that he thinks he died and went to heaven.  This is the kid who is always either building or flying his RCs, putting together models or practicing on a flight simulator. He will definitely enjoy this semester!  :-)

(trying out the required simulator program for the first time)

Kiddo 2's next course in ASL starts up next week.

We got our first snow of the year.  Not very much accumulation, but enough to freeze up and be burdensome.

We were learning about Lewis and Clark this week.  I found the greatest free printable game from Relentlessly Fun, Deceptively Educational called "Westward Bound."  Take a look at the sheer size of this game!  They had so much fun and learned a lot.  I really love hands-on learning opportunities for the kids.

I also found a Lewis & Clark lapbook on Hands of a Child for only $5.  We are also working on one the digestive system that I purchased from A Journey through Learning during their summer sale.

The house is looking pretty empty without the Christmas decorations.  Epiphany (the 12th day of Christmas) was on the 6th, so we have begun taking everything down and packing it up.  I can't believe that Lent will be here before we know it.

I hope you have a wonderful weekend.  God bless!
