A Usual Friday

I rarely get everything I took to co-op on Thursday unpacked until Friday. I am teaching the toddlers this six weeks and so had a basket of teddy bears and books about bears to put away this week. (We played with shadows on Thursday, just like Bear in Bear Shadow.) Selah comes by 8 and then we go and wake Juli up.













.
We play with Selah some, and get her down for a nap and then eat our breakfast and read aloud together.




After getting Juli going in school I wash up dishes. We spend most of the day at home: doing school, taking care of Selah, and I do laundry.










Selah's mom comes to get her around 3:00 and Juli and I head out to gymnastics. This is the on ramp to the interstate that I take at least twice every day.

I drop Juli off at gymnastics.
Friday is the day I run errands.
We always need milk, so I stop by Target. Somehow I also find time for a cup of coffee and some reading! Then I pick Juli up from gymnastics and we frequently run by Raising Cane's, our favorite fast food place, for some chicken strips and sauce.

This is a great series! I don't think I will get tired of seeing how special our 'normal' looks!

Love the glimpse into your day! Selah is precious. :-) What type of books do you and Juli read aloud to each other?

Susan,

We read poetry, Bible, a novel, and history almost every day together.
