This week has been good. Monday was Scott’s first day off for Spring Break. We enjoyed sleeping later than normal and just having an easy Monday. With our normal schedule, every morning has a reason for our alarms to be set. Even Saturdays even though it’s not set as early, we still have to make sure we get up in time for karate class. So when Scott gets a day off, we enjoy leaving the alarms off. Which is especially nice when you have to get used to the time change.
Tuesday was park day for our homeschool group. I think this was the first time this school year that Scott was off. He and Joshua brought their Skateboards, Jonathan brought a little bicycle with training wheels, and Hannah had her “heelies”. Technically they are not the name brand but they look like regular shoes with hidden wheels inside the soles.
Elijah didn’t want to be left out, so he put Daddy’s helmet on and commenced to doing tricks.
And he looks so little on that big skateboard. He didn’t even fall off. Although it looks like he should while popping a wheelie. 🙂
After our time at the park, we went to a mall where we met with another homeschool family that was interested in making new friends. We enjoyed visiting with them and the kids all had a good opportunity to try out their communication skills. 🙂 It can be hard to get conversations going with other kids without knowing anything about them. But I thought they did very well. The children were all in the same age group. I was especially pleased that our normally shy Ruth had actually started a conversation without any prompting with the other girl her age. I thought back to five years ago and how I worried about Ruth ever making friends. Now she is able to start her own conversations and make new friends.

We had about 45 minutes to wait before karate class began, so we walked around a sports store. There were some kayak’s hanging from the wall, which Jonathan was positive were war boats, especially the camouflage one.
The store was close to where the karate class is located, so we arrived at the class early enough for Jonathan to attend the little kids class. Normally we only go to adult class and participate as a family.

Uh oh, I fell asleep blogging! I guess any “todays” I wrote you can realize was yesterday. I’m just going to publish this blog and write another one to tell about the rest of Spring Break later on.
