We went to a full week of school this week! It snowed almost everyday. The roads were alright so that made it easier to shrug and say, "Hmph. Snowing again." Crazy. I got to watch Avery two days this week and it was so fun! Beth stayed home from school one day because she didn't want to go on the field trip and she played with Avery most of that day. Avery sure loves all the attention she gets from Aunt Bethany!

I read and watched TV this week. I went for a walk with Robin. I got some things ready for some more tax projects and writing. I worked in the morning all five days. I went to the library twice. I went grocery shopping. I stared out my window at the grey skies and falling snow and wished for spring.

Bethany had play practice all week. She also had karate and young women's. For young women's, we did Bob Ross paintings. Beth's turned out pretty great! Beth also worked again on Saturday doing book and clock for basketball games.

Benjamin had guitar, chess club, and karate. He went sledding with the young men on Wednesday evening at the junior high. During the week, he hung out with Max and had Kyler over on Saturday when all three of them made a KiwiCo engineering kit. They also had a snowball fight before settling in on computer games at five (which is the time I let them get on always). Then they played Doors.

Savannah worked most of her days at Funfinity this week but she did get a pretty bad sore throat on Wednesday-ish and had to miss some work. She seems to be feeling better.

Kevin is working on writing another book and is trying to write a thousand words a day. So, in addition to having to get a few more steps in, he also tells me that he has to get a few more words in. I love that he is so goal oriented. He is accomplishing good things.

On Saturday, I taught Beth and Ben how to make Kolaches. I thought it would be fun to have a cooking lesson each Saturday. This was the first thing they wanted to learn how to make!
