I love taking the kids to the library near our house. The older ones love to look at books and the younger ones don't care about them in the same way yet. This library has a great set-up for little ones with simple toys to keep them occupied when they're sick of listening to me read to them.
The past month or two we've been passing around bug after bug in our house. Two weeks ago we just didn't even do any school for a whole week because it took us that long to recover and get things back in order. The winter has been quite gloomy and depressing and we've all been in slow-motion, it seems like. I've noticed some school work has been slacking. We're in that middle-of-the-year slump. It's time to kick things back in gear. We've been getting some sunshine the last few days, too, so that's a nice little burst of energy that can kick us in the rear.
