A week in review

I took an impromptu "spring break" this week. I just couldn't think of doing school on Monday. I was just too wiped out. So, we didn't do it! Then... it went from Monday, to.. all week! The beauty of homeschooling. The kids have enjoyed having no school. I have slept in most days cause the little boys wanted to get up with Gavin. Partially because they enjoy being the big cousins.. and partially, because they wanted to give their old mom a break! Hubby has been in training this week, so he has been gone during the days. So, we have been just having peaceful, quiet days just me and the boys.
We have been working on trying to get some responsibility going in this house. Our little boys seem to think that they should just be around hanging out and hanging out and having fun and do just enough, when they are told, to get by. So, I changed things up a bit. Now, every day instead of them switching dishes days and trashes days... I unload the dishwasher in the morning. *unless it isn't full enough to run the night before* and then as we go through our day, everyone is responsible for rinsing their own dishes and putting them in the dishwasher. So there are never dishes left sitting, and no one has to spend upwards of 30 minutes doing the job. Then the rule with the trashes is, if you go to throw something away.. and the can is too full to fit anything, take the trash out! Don't worry about what day of the week it is.. JUST TAKE THE THING OUT!!! And then laundry, they will still have their days.. but it is going to be more of a Ez, your laundry is to the ceiling full.. you do laundry today even though it is Ethans day.. because he did his on monday.. and so he is fine!
The question of the day today is.... On weather channel.com for my zip code it says, 0% chance for precipitation today... IT IS POURING OUTSIDE!!! I think the good ole weather rock got it right. If it is swinging.. it is windy.. if it is wet, it is raining.. if it is still and hot.. it is sunny and still! hahahaha Have a great Friday!!!
