Keeping it up

Yes I have been keeping it going - my semi media fast. I was a little more relaxed this week, but I didn't do any computer when the kids were in the room, nor did I read the news headlines at all. Yeah!


My Annie Rose, second from left, with her 3 year old buddies on Memorial Day.

It has been a social week for us, with a long Memorial Day party, a doctor appointment, playdates and a birthday lunch (for moms only, the kids stayed home with a sitter and her two siblings. I was not missed). Somewhere in there we got some school done, lots of reading and coloring. I guess not every week can be project week.
