What Lewis Has Been Up To

Reading!!! He will only read a chapter book if it’s for school, so guess what his daily assignment is? 20 pages in a chapter book. He also likes to read Garfield. 

Lewis likes to give talks on whatever topic the audience suggests. 

Poor kid had a rough week at OT. His vestibular system was a bit overworked, and he ended up getting sick for about 1.5 hours after therapy. 


These moments are the best moments of homeschooling. 

Playing with his new fairy garden he got for Christmas!

What Levi Has Been Up To

Mastering his peg puzzle 

Feeding his baby

Holding the scissors perfectly but not cutting the paper at all

Entering the code to the playroom
Being the BEST toddler I’ve ever known around train tracks. Not only does he play with them, he doesn’t destroy them!

Trying out his Montessori-esque homemade toy

Dot painting, but he prefers to paint his hands to paper

His first assist on an IKEA build!

Staying busy while I cook.





Wearing his mask for the first time! The secret is - drum roll please - put the binki in his mouth under the mask! He kept it on like a pro! (We were at the dermatologist because his eczema was a raging beast.)

He was very busy taking notes while we waited for the doc. 

Exploring the new play room shelving/display. 

Every single boy has loved this little doll house set. 



We built a track together and he drove cars on it for quite a while. He likes to line them up on the road. 

What Elias Has Been Up To

Making things a toaster out of the rainbow stacker. 

Being consistent in reminding me that my preschool activities are not as fun as Grandma Susan preschool. 

LOVING slime and all the things to put in it. 

Enjoying his castle, and his new Lion King “guys” that apparently go perfectly with the castle dwellers. (Thanks Michelle!)

Playing with BETH!!!! She was extra cautious for a few weeks so she could come visit. It was so good to have her with us for a day!

Eating real ice cream out of the carton for the first time in his life. #lifegoals

What Augustine Has Been Up To

Endless custom builds



Protesting when Daddy didn’t choose to read The Hobbit one evening. 

Making small, portable snowmen. I keep telling him to read Calvin & Hobbs, but he’s stuck on Garfield. 

A little singing...

and giving talks. He has some natural talent!

Playing mini mini golf

And jailing anyone who fits. (Not what I had envisioned when I put the rainbow stacker on Levi’s Christmas list, but A+ for creativity!)

Making covid protection around his lunch...no, we don’t have covid but we are SICK of the pandemic. 

Sledding

Big boys went with Logan to the Pioneers Park sled slides for the first time!













Then we took Elias to some smaller hills later that afternoon. 








He made a snowman. It was perfect weather for a snow day!
