Today is…Monday Feb 28 2011
Twas a cold and blustery morning…as usual.
We started with a prayer and gospel lesson from Matthew:
We talked about heavy burdens…
…that can be made light with the help of the Lord.
(Ettin was enjoying this activity. Really!)
Then we got ready for the day and went to the gym. Thankfully, we have as yet avoided frostbite on our walks. Though today it was close.
When we got back, the boys wanted to “Watch Dodi” — work on their piano lessons:
Even Galoot got in on the fun!
After the little ones went down for naps, Giant and I got to our morning message (yes, a little late):
And we spent a good portion of the afternoon making letters with the train tracks.
This activity was inspired by a horrid fight last night between Ettin—who wanted to connect tracks in the proper order of things, and Giant—who wanted to use the tracks to make letters. I calmed the storms by telling Giant we’d make letters the next day. Hence, we created the whole lower-case alphabet using the train tracks:
And made some really cute pictures too!
