Friday at the Olsons

On Fridays, we usually go to a home school co-op where the parents teach different classes to all of the kids.  Due to the holidays though, there is no more “Friday School” until February… so we are having a fun and laid back day today.  We had a late breakfast and added the next Jesse Tree Ornament to our Christmas Tree, and then the boys have been playing a Star Wars board game ever since then.  And it’s almost lunchtime!   They are having such a fun time, using plenty of imagination and strategy as they play.  And I’ve been able to get some work done and even addressed a pile of envelopes for our Christmas cards.  After lunch, we’ll do some math and reading, and then I think I’ll just read a bunch of Christmas stories to them.

About Anna

I've been married to my college sweetheart for 17 years and we've been in full or part time ministry ever since. I am a stay at home mom who homeschools our oldest son (11) while our youngest son (9) attends public school. Having adopted both our kids, we are big fans of adoption. My oldest has Asperger's Syndrome and my youngest has been diagnosed with a mood disorder, possibly bi-polar. I also have two long-haired dachshunds that I adore - Eli and Graham. I enjoy camping, watching movies, listening to and singing all types of music, and just spending time together with my precious family.

    We’re doing the Jesse Tree too.  We made felt ornaments to hang on a vintage wall hanging advent calendar tree.  And we’re keeping Friday’s low key too.  Today we made some Christmas presents and then we’ll go to that Homeschool Children’s Market at 2:00.   I love days like this!
