Monday: We started the day off with watching Pocahantas. I just wanted to sit and watch a movie with them because we haven't been doing that as much together. I usually walk back and forth through a movie and get things done or ready for after, but I just sat and relaxed with my babies. After the movie, they requested quiet time with me, so I read some of my kindle book while they looked at and read their books.
While we were doing quiet time, Cayce was making us brunch. We took a break to eat since we started 30 minutes earlier than we normally do. Sammy had the shortest break. She eats fast, so while Ariana was still eating, Sammy started on her spelling words. After Ariana got done eating she spent the rest of the day doing her computer work
We ended our day with reading Disney Fairies!
Tuesday: Morning work and quiet time was the beginning of our day. We started the day at our regular time which is 10:30am. Sometimes, I like an early day and then others, I sleep in and start late and it works for us to not have a set schedule every day. As long as my kids get the work done and learn something and have fun doing it, then that is all that matters. Computer work was very fun today. Sammy had to play this game for her Easy Peasy 1 curriculum. I don't know why I am liking it now and not at the beginning of the year.
This was Sammy's favorite part. This happened every time she got a correct answer.
Airy was doing her coloring pages as part of her computer work. She is finishing H either today or tomorrow. I feel like I should give her a little bit more challenging work along with this because she is flying through these letters. Way faster than Samantha did.
They wanted to play with dominoes and I thought they would do what they always do and build with them or try to knock them over, but I looked over at them and they were measuring their arm length from their hands to their elbows. It was amazing to see them learning measuring completely on their own.
They love making designs like these with dominoes. I did the exact same thing when I was growing up. After that, we read Thanksgiving stories and poems and then we watched Pocahantas 2 to end the day.
Wednesday: Today was a late start. We did morning work and chores and then went straight to computer work. The girls were eager to be on the computer and do their lessons. Airy did some connect the dots and started on the letter "I" and Sammy worked on her spelling.

President Snow had to jump into the picture and be right next to Sammy all throughout her spelling session.
They had separate quiet times today, Sammy's was right after morning work and Airy did her's after her computer work. It made the day go by so fast that I felt like we were missing something important. They ended the day with dominoes and were measuring everything in sight. So it's time to pull out the rulers. Sammy started learning about odd and even numbers again and she got it this year. She understood it better and I was happy. She loved the videos.

Thursday: Yesterday was so dreary and rainy and uncomfortable that we started the day off with some Scooby Doo. We watched a good hour and a half and we talked about it and we ate breakfast and talked about the weather. They did their morning work and put away laundry for me, and then we had quiet time. After they wanted to build with Jenga blocks. They even put the tower up and was playing Jenga without knowing they were playing a well known popular game.
To end our day, we decided to cook some Thanksgiving type food. We made Corny Turkey Dogs. We also wanted to make mini berry cobblers, but we decided to do that on Friday because we were just to exhausted and Cayce was home from work.

These were so delicious, I can't wait to try the mini berry cobblers.
Friday: We had another late day today. Everyone in the house was sick to their stomachs and it was awful. We started around noon and it was complete flashback to last year when we would start around 12:30 every day. They did their usual morning work and then they did some Thanksgiving coloring pages. They are loving doing quiet time, so they did it together today and Sammy was reading off words to Cayce and I swear he looked so happy.
After that, Ariana wanted to do her workbooks and Samantha had her last spelling quiz for a while. I have to come up with new words for her. So she did her spelling caps and review and she did so great on her quiz. She made a 100.
Ariana being happy with her workbook.
Ariana did all three of her workbooks today and did an amazing job. She barely needed any help which shocked Cayce. He is always shocked and surprise at what they can do without my help. He is always at work and rarely gets to see them do this stuff.
We ended the day with watching a ActivityTV Thanksgiving video and the girls watched the whole video and picked out activities they want to do next week with me and what they want to cook with daddy.
