Day 6

The sun finally peeked out today but everyone is in slow down mode that we decided to let the ground dry up a little more before we go outside. We thought about the Runge but thought it would be crazy busy. So we allowed free time once again today. We watched an episode of Lego Masters which the kids were then inspired to go create their own things. Jacob was kind and allowed the boys to play with his legos which hasnt happened in a while. 
Jacob made an aircraft carrier that he is hoping will float!
Shoney is getting lots of sleep and snuggles in this week. Shes also loving the attention from the kids! Shes used tolots of attention soIm thankful we have lots of kids at home to do the job!
Ryker and Karsten spent a while this morning on the ipad and chrome book listening to books, learning lots of cool stuff, and loving that Im letting them go on electronics more than usual! 
Karsten made this picture for us and as I was taking his pic I realized what it said "GET ME OUTTA HERE" which is a perfect caption for the who knows how long future!
Emily vegging out with the laptop. The big legos in the background are a crowd favorite!
I snuck in to capture a pic of the elusive teenager. She seems to be LOVING the break from the world and homework this week. We trust her probably a little too much but so far so good. She spent some of her Christmas money on cool led lights that can change color and pattern...today mustve been a green day! I joked the other day that of all the kids she would be content and happy to have to isolate herself from the family! 
300 piece puzzle in the works! Karsten is finding lots of ways to entertain himself!
I splurged on some new games for our extended break. The boys therapist has Taco Cat Goat Cheese Pizza as well as Exploding Kittens so they are a big hit! Needless to say I think Michael and Imay geg a little competitive at times!! I also have a yard set of yahtzee we hope to play this week too!

Awesome Aircraft carrier Jacob! Hope it floats too. I think Michael should take it out in deep water to test it for him.

I am so glad I raise you playing games and that you have carried that on to your children, even more being active doing things outside and being creative with what is there. I did it because it make a person content, but it really shines in a times like now.
