To be honest, we didn't do a lot this past week.. it rained almost every day and I didn't have too many indoor activities planned, so we just sorta went with the flow. The boys colored South African flags and spent a lot of time working in their workbooks. We did yoga together along with a DVD called "
The Peddler's Dream", which teaches children yoga through story telling. The story in the video tells of a man who follows his dream, which ultimately leads him back to a treasure chest beneath a tree outside of his home. We talked about the treasures that lay within our hearts and the boys colored pictures of treasure chests then surrounded them with images of things they love. 'A' drew a piano, friends and family, ice cream, and Star Wars. 'E' drew a picture of us all eating a giant muffin filled with treasure, an alien spaceship, and me wearing a beautiful dress and superhero cape.. ha! They also started group
Suzuki piano lessons this past week. I was very proud at how well they both did. 'A' especially has taken to it quickly and has been practicing diligently every day since. I took Suzuki when I was young, so it's neat to see them playing now. We are blessed that our landlord left us her gorgeous piano and recently had it tuned for us, and I am hoping to pick up piano again along with them.
We were hoping to go to the fair today, but it's been raining again all day. J decided to work some overtime, so the boys and I are on our own again today and have just been lounging around. I need to try to get caught up on some housework (even though I feel like that's all I did this past week), but the rain is causing me to feel sleepy and unmotivated, so I might just spend the afternoon daydreaming instead..
Hope you all have a good weekend. :)
It's raining here today too although it's my favorite weather. I have the windows open and love listening to it pit pat-ing on the leaves of the trees. Am trying to knock out a few projects around my art studio and write some blog posts but what I SHOULD be doing is cleaning the house.
ReplyDeleteWe started piano lessons here two weeks ago and we're all enjoying them. : )
Yep! There's no way I could look at gorgeous piano like that everyday without trying to figure out how to play it. :)
ReplyDeleteThe Peddler's Dream sounds interesting.
Have a great weekend!
I added "The Peddler's Dream" to my shopping list. We do Yoga here and Gavin has is own DVDs; this one sounds like something he would like.
ReplyDeleteRainy days can be nice or "eh". Hopefully you do the things you want to do, despite the lack of motivation. OR find something else you want ot do altogether. :)
