Life is full of trade offs. We have to get up much earlier for school now, but the kids have more free time when they get home. Our apartment is much cozier than our chilly townhouse, but it's also much smaller and we get a little stir crazy sometimes. So how do the kids stay occupied on a Friday afternoon when it's below freezing outside?
Anna likes to play the piano. She practices the Suzuki songs she has been learning, then she plays variations of them in different keys.
Joy has been reading novels, including a little storybook written in Latin, which she borrowed from the World Languages teacher at school. I don't quite get the appeal of learning a dead language, but Joy is pretty excited to study Latin next year.
Todd's new favorite thing is to bounce on a big ball some friends from church gave him because their son had outgrown it. He's still getting the hang of it, and sometimes he falls off, but it's so much fun that he gets right back on and tries again.
Daniel has been making up games for his siblings and playing with our card games, but somehow I didn't get a picture of that. Maybe next Friday.
