Homebody

I left my house exactly 3 times after Christmas before school started today.

1. We went to Mass {feast of the Holy Family} at the Cathedral

2.  We went on a hike because we all needed a bit of fresh air.

3.  We went to Little Women {which we allllll loved, loved, loved}

Only leaving the house 3 times in a week meant that I was rested and ready for my 22 fourth-graders. And I loved being back in my 'home away from home', room 124!  It was the best teaching again!

Oh, and so I'm totally caught up vacation week consisted of total relaxation {and putting away Christmas}. I only have a few pictures from our week off.

There was an after Christmas present for Anna from Abigail. Boy, this was a special present {that involved a L O T of tears in the making, including on Christmas Eve morning}

Abigail got one of Anna's drawings and made an embroidery of it. She figured the whole thing out herself. Found a way to print her sister's drawing, bought a special tracing pen, and did the whole thing! She even added some Christmas mistletoe on her own. That little girl has never worked so hard on something.

And even though Anna knew about it {there was such drama and tears as she was trying to finish it}, Anna made a big fuss when it was finally time to open it!

Yes, it was totally a great week and so wonderful to have all of those days home! But school is great too! Plus, only one more day and it's the weekend!
