We started our day with a little bit of school, it’s really fun to get to see Cannon’s progress in reading. The brain really is an amazing thing.
Emmy was excited about learning about telling time on an analogue clock, thanks to my brother for the cool Alexa enabled Mickey clock! Otherwise we wouldn’t have anything other than digital clocks.
For PE we went to do the timed mile run. The path around this lake is exactly a mile so it’s a fun place to go run.
It’s not flat but that’s okay, we just time it so we can see if we make progress as the year goes on. I was so impressed that both kids ran the entire way, and posted their fastest time yet. Most importantly they LOVED it and had fun the entire way. I hope exercise always feels like play to them!
We didn’t have much else exciting going on the rest of the day, just lots of cleaning and laundry. I used to think that we should get set up for the week over the weekend but that’s never how we do things. We squeeze as much fun and adventures into the weekend as possible and the house is always a wreck Monday morning. I have just accepted now that Mondays have to be my reset days to try to get things back in order as much as possible.
I also put together the kids’ Christmas play kitchen.
I think I might like this one as much as our Halloween one.
The elves got in on this one too.
Do you have a reset day?
Did you run the mile in school? I did and loved it!
