2021 Week in Photos #6

 Here's a look back at our week! 

Saturday - We stayed home because it was snowy!  Actually, we went to my mom's for dinner (the advantage of living just a few miles away - the snow doesn't stop us!) and then I had a zoom call with my brothers and mom.  Otherwise, I did some scrapbooking and worked on some projects. 

Sunday - Superbowl!!  In case you didn't know, we love Football.  I didn't even go over board with snacks.  We had Mexican Dip and chips and cheese and crackers.  We actually ordered pizza for dinner and it was the best thing ever.  


We also had these great cupcakes!  Such a fun thing to have at our little party.  Now, if only the game had been a little more exciting! 

Ready for the game to begin!  Josh likes to make faces just as I'm clicking the button on the camera - then I don't notice until I post them or print them!! 

Monday - A school day - and we accomplished a lot!  Once our friends arrived from school, the kids went outside and played in the snow. 
Josh knocked this icicle off the house. 

Nate found his own :-) 

Tuesday - Darryl took the day off so he could drive Nate and I to Nate's doctor's appointment downtown - in the "big city"!  I don't mind the drive but I HATE the parking garage.  This particular one is underground, very tight and you have to park by a certain elevator or you'll end up in the wrong building!  Anyway, instead, Darryl dropped us off right at the door and he and Josh went to Starbucks for a coffee until we called to be picked up.  Nate's healthy - just a check-up for his asthma!  After the appointment, we got Taco's at our favorite place - do you know how hard it is to eat tacos in the car?  Well, it is HA!  There are pieces of cheese and lettuce everywhere! 

Wednesday - a full school day!  

Thursday - The boys had to finish up their seat work which included piano practice, AWANA sections, and few other small things while I went to a leadership team meeting.  My mom surprised with with lunch :-)  Then I went to the grocery store.  

Friday - Our week was done!  We got to sleep in a little.  :-)  Nate had Tae Kwon Do in the afternoon and I got set up for my Virtual Scrapbooking Weekend Crop! 
Well, because cats are cats - I set this book on the desk to take a photo of it.  Turned around from grabbing my camera and this is what I see HA! 
There was a mystery box for the weekend crop - getting set up for the big reveal zoom! 
And . . . .look who is now sitting on the box.  HA!  I love that cat! 


I took a photo of the blue book because . . .. Nate finished his first cursive book!  Nate has taken to cursive like a fish to water.  He loves to write in cursive!  This is something we do outside of school (seatwork) because I think it is important that they know how to at least read cursive.  Don't get me wrong, our school does teach it a little but they don't spend near enough time on it.  Nate is starting book 2 this next week. 
Josh and Nate made a Valentine to share with our homeschool co-op in our on-line Valentine's Day activity.  

Finally, here are a few samples of my scrapbook pages that I worked on for the challenge's within the weekend crop.  There were 6 challenges and I completed them all.  It allowed me to scrapbook my photos from January 2021!  Now, for the rest of the weekend I'm working on 2016 :-)  Time to get caught up!
