A Fly On My Homeschool Wall

 We did school for 2 days. And then I cooked. I cooked for Thanksgiving. I cooked for a month.  (Thank you to my mom and dad for connecting me with a donation of close to 100 pounds of meat!)  That's 25 dinners for 10-12 people and at least 25 leftover lunches for 2. The teens slept and lounged. The kids played  Pokémon , practiced archery, and read. I'd planned to take the kids on an awesome outing to climb rocks and explore a part of the state we've never seen . . . but we were so tired. I'm a tiny bit sorry we didn't go adventuring, but I'm mostly grateful for the weekend of rest and work at home. Monday I wanted to capture how our walks have changed since the beginning of the school year.  It now takes 30+ minutes to get everyone geared up enough to stay warm while we walk less than a mile!  And someone always needs a diaper change right after we get the gear on that someone! Notice the crossed arms and/or unpleasant faces on the kids who chose not bundle up
