This is the most snow that our neck of the woods has had in one winter! I actually went to Kroger this afternoon, and I could not find a parking place. After circling around a couple of times, I finally got a place! Inside the store was not much better. I wasn't stocking up because of the snow (like I guess most people were), I was just doing my weekly grocery shopping.
Anyway, Leah has had a fun week. Monday, I took her to our monthly Keepers At Home Meeting. Now that Olivia and Julie are older, only Leah and I attend Keepers. I think she really enjoys this time with just the two of us. I enjoy it too. I am having to make some new friends.....friends with ladies who have children Leah's and Sam's ages. I sometimes feel old around these ladies, since most of them do not have teenagers like I do.
The activity was beading. The girls strung beads to make beautiful necklaces.

Today, Olivia and Julie did this fun activity with Leah while I was out running errands. I got the idea from a post at The Homeschool Classroom earlier this week.
Floating Hearts
Cute, cute! and now our house looks like Valentine's Day!
I know that feeling of having kids at the high school level, and then the little ones too! :)
ReplyDeleteThankfully, we actually have quite a few friends in our church group and homeschool group that have kids of both ages too...they just have a couple of additional little ones that fill the age gap! Sweet Carson is 9 years younger than Christian! :)
I had the same experience yesterday at the grocery store and my husband had the same experience last week. Maybe we should just change our Tuesday day to a different day. BTW- it was also because of snow. Today, the town was shut down because of the blowing snow and that is rare for it to be completely shut down. Good thing I went shopping yesterday.
ReplyDeleteI can so relate to having older and younger ones.
ReplyDeleteI am wanting to start a Keepers meeting for Hope. Do you meet once a month, where do you meet at someone's home, basically how are things done? I have looked at the book but really haven't spent enough time to fully understand the different ways to do it.
Sorry about all the questions!
