This week, we...

Went to Cheekwood,

watched Moo try to wrangle Daddy's crazy eyebrow hair,

giggled when she was successful,

ran screaming from the billions of leggy mosquitoes that have taken over Tennessee,

breathed a sigh of relief over the completion of Moo's moedim lapbooks, enjoyed "snake around the pole" bracelet making,

entirely lost our youngest in the Trenton Lee Stewart Mysterious Benedict Society series,

watched our salad greens poke their little heads up out of the earth,

let orange rinds steep in vinegar for a natural cleaner (you strain them after 10 days, and use on surfaces),

watched the rhetoric on the kitchen whiteboard turn ugly,

played around with the Cricut,

ate some homemade blueberry muffins that the girls worked on,

used self-control to not eat them all,

and, speaking of self-control, kicked the coffee habit.  I don't have a problem...and I can quit at any time...and I almost never drink coffee alone...but still, it was time.  :)  I was constantly presented with the struggle over what creamer to use in my coffee, and I was tired of it.  If I use the real-sugar variety, then I don't feel really good...that constant "drip" of sugar each day just makes me feel icky.  However, switching to a fake-sugar variety makes me feel like I am taking my life in my hands (only slight hyperbole here), and makes me have an integrity crisis every time I embrace some other "all natural" thing.  So instead of trying to transition to stevia or something else, I decided to SIMPLIFY my life and just drink tea.  My headaches are just about done, and I am feeling good about this little change in my life.  

So, that was our week.  It was a good week, and now we are preparing for Passover.
