Here was our house last night (Tues 2/24). This is pretty much our typical school night. It's 10:16. Natalie is usually not asleep yet, but that night she had crashed on the ottoman (hadn't had a nap) so I put her in her crib. The other girls were still playing dolls
Hyrum's doing homework - drawing with markers using the back of the couch as his table. He could have used the table instead of the couch, but whatever works I guess. Just make sure you don't leave those markers out where your sisters will find them.
Joseph was on the floor with the tablet, trying to find the youtube
video of their ballroom dance last Thursday night.
At the beginning he's second from left in the front, then later he starts on the right side of the stage, dancing partner has red gloves... you'll just have to see if you can find him.
Corey was helping Ethan with math homework. Ethan had been able to do 6 problems finding the circumference of a circle without knowing what the circumference of a circle was. Corey was impressed with his "just figure it out" determination. Good job Eth.
Melodie was doing homework at another desk and computer.
Wesley was practicing the recorder, which he says doesn't like anymore.
Such a sad "I don't want to do this" face.
And I have kept the kitchen counter clean and virtually clutter free for over three days now! I just have my water there and my planner, oh yeah go me.
And a half hour later, everyone is done enough that they're ready to call it a day, so we talk for a minute, read scriptures and say a prayer, and they start to knock off one by one. We used to put them all in their beds if they fell asleep while we read, but lately we just leave them and turn a lamp on so they can see if/when they wake up during the night. And there is a typical night at our house.
