Birthday-eve. We are trying to prep today and finish all schooling so we don’t have to do too much tomorrow and instead celebrate our wonderful 8-year-old. We even have planned in the birthday cake-run to Rachel’s Cakes in Anna into the schedule.
Kicking off today, it’s Spirit Day in #InThisTogetherOhio. I made the kiddos get on clothes and Elida spirit gear at that! A picture from our front porch of them trying to get in the spirit on this very dreary Thursday.
We plowed through the homework today too. Olivia had a big day as she moved on from subtraction on XtraMath. She is so very excited to have this accomplished before she turns 8. I printed out her certificate and tried to make a super big deal like they would at school. I don’t want her to not be as recognized as she would if school was still in session.
Most of the pictures from today are the kiddos on iPads taking tests, so that didn’t make for great and exciting pictures. I do have a pic of the disaster (Isaac’s vocab word this week) on my kitchen table. This evening we got yarn elephant craft project from our dear friends the Zigenbusch family. Of course, she’ll stay up until this project is complete. Last night she went to bed a shade after 2 a.m. She has too much of our night owl tendencies in her. She’ll sleep in half the morning, and I’m good with that! I will do the same. 
The last picture today is from tonight when they were just snuggled up watch cartoons on Isaac's iPad. Does any other Momma's heart melt when you catch an impromptu snuggled up session in place with your kiddos? This momma's heart does, so grabbed my phone quick to snap. Although they yell and scream at each other, there are moments of love.
