Inside fun!!

Last night I was lamenting how lazy we are when we don't have school. The boys seem to lay around and whine and watch tv and it drives me NUTS!!! The house is over-run with toys, books, art supplies, anything their little hearts could desire (I would think) and they have nothing to do. I had decided last night that we would start school again and do some little lessons. Nothing like during our normal school day...just some "structure."

Maverick must have known I was not happy with laying around doing nothing because this morning he asked to play croquet. We have a child's indoor croquet set that I had forgotten we even had. I got it out and after they cleaned the library (bonus!!) they ahve been playing. We set it up with the wickets all spread out and they made it through them. Then they lined them up real close together to hit through them all at once. They are having a grand time!!!

Griffin taking a shot. He said it was "bad one"

Maverick gets a "hole in one"

Aiden takes a shot!

Well, then I got to thinking about yesterday and what they really did. In the morning, they built a fort with some fort building foam stick things that I can't think of the name of. They did watch tv in the afternoon but they played in the morning. Aiden drew several really nice pictures and learned to find "middle C" on the piano and play 3 notes with the music.

So, although, I'm not sure we won't do some "school" at some point over the summer, I feel a teeny bit less lazy! Now, I have like 5 loads of laundry to fold and put away...I got caught up on washing laundry yesterday but now it all needs folded and put away. I HATE HATE HATE this job.
