Monday Morning is Here Again

Why is it that the weekends go by so quickly? We have had a nice relaxing few days together but the weekend is over and tomorrow morning Gerald goes back to work and we go back to school. As I type this the kids and Gerald are playing a game at the counter. It is almost time for jammies for Olivia.

Friday afternoon Gerald took the kids skating. Our rink here in town has homeschooling skating twice a week. It was the first time this winter that our children have gone. They had a blast! Gerald said that by the end Olivia was skating end to end without any help. She had just started getting the hang of skating toward the end of last year while the boys have been skating for a few years already.

Saturday the boys played lots of hockey in the basement while Gerald did lots of homework. That was especially tough on the boys. Dad had spent all day Friday with them - even doing some of school with them. Then Saturday he wanted to get caught up on his school work and they didn't want to leave him alone. They all went with him to do some errands while I stayed home and cleaned Olivia's room.

All is all it has been a nice relaxing weekend. I could use a few more days of that! I am looking forward to Christmas break, but that is still a few weeks away.

Time to start getting the kids to bed - then I can go to bed too :)
