small wonders

A few pictures from the past little while. It was a busy holiday season, and we are slowly getting back to our regular routines, which feels good. Today we started a new Language Arts block for Ari, read The Old Woman and the Pumpkin as Dori's kindy story,  made supper before we'd cleared the breakfast dishes, went for a walk in the deep snow (and then the boys went out again in the afternoon to work on their snow tunnels,) started a new chapter book, practiced instruments, and had a great rowdy dance party in the kitchen. Ari worked on his workbook by choice after supper while Dori had his bath and then Perry read to Dori (and Willa too!) by the fire while Ari had his bath and I did a few dishes. Yesterday we took down all the holiday stuff while listening to an audio book (the entire Charlie and the Chocolate Factory) which I think will become a new tradition. Tomorrow we start lessons again, and Ari will do his 94th radio show (that is a lot of hours for the little DJ, and he has loved every minute of it!) and we will eat supper from the crock pot. And Willa is cutting her first tooth, but still is managing to be utterly sweet and adorable. She is sitting well now, and loving solid food and getting a kick out of watching her brothers all day long.
How's that for a quick rambley blog post! I am off to bed- goodnight, friends!
