A Day At Home

The kids don't have school for 6 days in a row {Thursday/Friday are parent teacher conferences, Monday President's Day and Tuesday a teacher work day.} Its like Spring Break in February!!

Naturally my first impulse is, "Where can we go?!!"

So we made plans to go to WJ to see the folks. Lucy and Ruth came down with a mild sickness {Ruth was out for one day and Lucy maintains a bad cough. This was our first sickness in the house this winter - We have really been blessed!} I didn't really want to take Lucy on a trip. Every single day I have to drag her a million places and she is just so good and SMILES at everyone. Even when she is sick! But really know, lets give a girl a break.

So after I cancel the trip plans it was honestly a relief. {{Didn't we just get back from a major long and super amazing vacay??!!}} I was excited for the schedule to relax and we could just BE. {I'm sercretly dreaming of summer vacation...}

So THURSDAY was our day at home. Its a rare thing these days. Here is the bliss captured:

We started out with home visits from Senora Sotel & Mrs. McDowall {man, we are blessed with awesome teachers!}

Then each kids made a freezer meal with mom. It was quality one on one plus productivity. We cranked out 9 meals. This is LOVE.





Endless packing of treasures while sporting stylish shoes and grins



The first really good solid nap since her cough since we didn't have to go anywhere!


My boys are pretty sure this is what eternity will be like





Whata great day being at home.
