I have been racking my non-creative brain for a new blog title. One without our last name in it. When I began this blog, my only intent was to connect with family, close friends, and have a record of our busy days. I didn't know that the title of this blog would appear on my blogger profile or anywhere else. If I had known that, I would have spent a little more time and effort in coming up with something cute or witty.
I have changed the title to Peeking In On Our Family. I am hoping that it will not be the final title of this blog, but I haven't come up with anything better yet. So until I do (all suggestions welcome), please recognize that this is still the same blog. Minus the surname.

Wii Did It!
Aaron did not make the trip to work yesterday, due to winter driving conditions. So we decided to bribe the kids to get their homeschooling done before lunch by offering up a surprise. We bought a Wii for Valentine's Day, but the kids didn't know about it. (Well, technically Ellie knew because she overheard us talking about it. Little turd.)
A snowy Monday turned into a productive school day with plenty of time in the afternoon for playing Wii and playing out in the snow. We capped it off with a pancake/eggs/fried potato supper. It is so fun to be able to change up our day once in a while!
The downside is that everybody is sluggish today because of sore arms and legs from hours of playing. The mean mommy/teacher is still going to make them write and do school. A Wii hangover is not a good excuse!

I Heart Homeschooling (Most of the Time)
Maggie, done with school but choosing to read a book over break time. What is she reading?? The Bible storybook we just finished.

I have found that there is never enough time to get to all of the things that I need to do or want to do. That is the way it is and that is the way it will remain for the near (and maybe distant) future. At some point the kids will be grown and I will be able to keep the house clean for more than 5 minutes, read books, watch an entire movie in one shot, go on dates with my husband, and cook gourmet meals. Until then, this is it.
So bear with my irregular blogging! It is the best I can do. And something has to give, right? I am going to try to catch up with some of our 2009 holiday pics and homeschooling fun over the next week. Until then, here are a couple of shots of what has been keeping me away from blogging!
Glory got caught playing in the bathroom, again! Can you tell she knows she is doing something she shouldn't be? Micah is her new "best friend". He was just along for the ride, but I think he may be learning some new tricks.
Does anybody else have a kid who cannot resist playing in the bathroom?!
