Travis went hunting with my dad this weekend, then my mother-in-law felt sorry for the other boys so she invited them over…. I had the quietest weekend ever!! It was lonely. And I realized I can no longer get anything done unless I’m being interrupted constantly!
Travis had a great time. He shot a hog the first night so that was just the coolest thing ever!
Brian and I went out for lunch Saturday, just the two of us. I was trying to remember when was the last time we went out alone… the last time I can think of was several years ago so I guess we were due for a date.
I had planned for us to have school today but decided yesterday that our time would be better spent getting everyone back in the routine of being home and focusing on nipping unacceptable behaviors in the bud. Even a few hours with the grandparents can give the boys the idea that they no longer have to mind me or use good manners. Not the grandparents fault… the boys just have to test the limits occasionally!
This weekend made me appreciate all over again just how blessed I am to have this opportunity to educate my boys at home. This time will fly by so fast and they will be gone doing their own thing. I’m thankful for the time I have now to ground them in the truth, for all the little moments we have each day that we would miss if they were gone for most of the day. I’m thankful that I can take the time out to nip bad behaviors before they are reinforced by others and become a habit. They are amazing people and everyday they take my breath away… what a blessing to get to spend my days with them!
