It's my birthday, so I'm having a slow morning enjoying all the pretty little things. Fridays are usually our cleaning day, and my husband already got a bunch of the cleaning done before I woke up! I wouldn't have said acts of service was a love language of mine, but I'm feeling very loved this morning. So it must be!
I'm usually very introspective on my birthday, but this year I'm just very peaceful about it. I like this part of getting older! 💞

Dishing out the breakfast butt kicking. 😂 One of these kids is learning the art of playing chess gently so that other, not such strategic minded players, will still want to play with him.

My 3rd grader told me this morning, at 830, before I was done with my own morning chores, or my Bible time or even my breakfast or getting dressed: "I'm doing my workbook, and then we need to do morning meeting at 9. That's what the schedule says." So we did! And I'm still in my PJs, totally unprepared for the day in any way. Yesterday we all got started late and I held them to finishing their school work into the evening, so today the older kids were all about getting started early and doing things on time. Being taken to task by a 9yo didn't even make me the least bit angry, just proud! My older kids will remind me of things like that as well, but we have been calling my 9yo our little Foreman for years. He's a doer, a planner, and fully expects everyone to do their job! .

After morning meeting, which is filled with weather, a few picture books, going over our day and verses for cookies, our first break in the school day starts with songs with motions. A kids worship song and a silly song. The littlest guys were not into it today, but they usually love it. 💙
Also, this room is messy and we still haven't moved the stove pipe connection on the wall, but it's still good!
