We had a quiet weekend. Very quiet! I slept late both days (soooo tired!) and Alan got up with the kids, which means lots of screen time. Lex has a pretty serious cough (that I’m going to do some Googling on after this post) and is wiped out from it. He also has a runny nose and fever to go along with it. Saturday afternoon I made lunch and neither of the kids would come to the table. Lex said he was too tired to move and fell asleep on the couch. Eve decided she wanted a nap as well, so she went up to her bed and tucked in. I humored her and prepared the room for sleeping (curtains, fan, music), fully expecting to find her playing five minutes later. Instead, when I went up to check on her I found her fast asleep. She slept for about two hours and Lex slept for a full three hours! It’s probably been over four years since they both napped at the same time! Eve woke up just as Alan was about to watch a show, so she cuddled on the couch to watch TV with him and he fell asleep for a nap! Seriously, it was a quiet house! We had a movie night Saturday night then everyone went to bed at a reasonable time. <\/p>\n

Sunday I slept in again and Alan played school with the kids. They had science (Nova episode), math (Khan Academy), and recess (kickball). Then I took over and we carved pumpkins. I’m not very Halloween-y this year (or any other year, really) but we’ve done a few little things in preparation. This afternoon was spent reading, working, and more screen time for everyone. <\/p>\n

\"chart\"<\/a>

Lex got his allowance this weekend and we paid up on a few IOUs. He was excited to update his savings chart.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"banner<\/a>

We made a little banner for the mantle.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"banner<\/a>

I forgot to take a picture of the finished product. You’ll just have to come visit and see it in person. :)<\/p><\/div>\n

\"jol<\/a>

Eve’s jack-o-lantern.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"jol<\/a>

Lex got a little more challenging with his jack-o-lantern.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"jol<\/a>

It was still bright daylight outside, so we tried to find a dark corner to test them. :)<\/p><\/div>\n

\"jol<\/a>

It kind of worked. They looked great on the porch tonight.<\/p><\/div>\n

Tomorrow starts another busy week, including teaching several lessons, observing other classrooms, swim lessons, and the candy-licous Halloween festivities. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
