It's still January

There are 4 days left in January, but who's counting? Today feels like a let down after a very fun week with Tom home. We had lots of time at home with the boys during the week and we had a date night too! Pappy and Marme kept the boys and Tom and I spent Friday shopping, hanging out, having dinner and drinks at the Aster Cafe, dessert for Ally's 18th birthday at the Cheesecake Factory, and a lovely and relaxing night at a hotel downtown. On Saturday we had brunch at Good Day Cafe before we went back to the cabin for the rest of the weekend. And yes, it did sort of feel like we ate all weekend. ;) Today we are back to school and work and this morning the feels like temperature was -45. So, today is more of the same story that the previous 26 days of January has told. We're trying to entertain ourselves. We are going nowhere...just sticking my hand outside the door to grab the mail was painful. The good news is that since we are at home still doing school we are scheduled to be finished with our curriculum the 2nd week of May. We'll be outside while everyone else makes up the cold days. ;)

The boys LOVED their time with Pappy and Marme and were entertained very well. I think Sage might like my mom more than me.

Trying to keep the boys entertained today and desperately trying to run off weeks (maybe months) of energy they've stored up this winter.

I love the pictures and I bet a change of scenery was fun. Especially when you have such wonderful grandparents!

Apple Creek

 A new year, a new orchard. This year we tried out Apple Creek Orchard and it was a really pretty place. We picked apples, took a hay ride, and the boys had fun with the apple slinger. We were joined by Tom's parents and it feels so good to have them now living close by instead of far away.

Almost to the finish line.

 It's hard to believe that Aiden turns 18 in one week and walks through graduation in just one month. After more than a decade of homeschooling, 2 years of PSEO, and no less than one million moments that I'll treasure forever, my oldest will be an adult and graduated. Great things are ahead for my boy!

Happy Birthday, Cade!

 My littlest is seven and it's hard  not to be sad. We couldn't be without him, and we're so glad he's ours.  At seven years old Cade loves to do what everyone else is doing. He will NOT play by himself, and maybe it's because he's used to having someone to entertain him all the time. He loves legos and soccer. He also loves to read. I am ALWAYS finding Cade trying to tackle reading a book he probably isn't quite ready for. Lately he's been trying to read The Hobbit. While he's able to read all the words, he just doesn't have the depth of understanding to read it independently quite yet. He LOVES Tom Sawyer so he was delighted to find an abridged version to read.  Cade makes up his own mind about things. He will NOT be bossed around. He holds his own, so I don't worry about his brothers pushing him over. Cade also won't be pushed over physically. He is one tough kid. If Cade is crying, I know he is actually hurt because he never cries ove...
