Friday was co-op and then Tom got home and we had a full weekend.  Monday went by with us being busy trying to catch up from the weekend and fit in scouts, etc.  Today has been a bit easier on us but I've been tired lately and not feeling like blogging.


Monday the kids hit a full day of regular school work.  Today I told them to do their math and then they could "unschool."  I do that about once a month or so and highly recommend it. You get to see the kinds of things that interest your children that way.


Wes is reading Killer Angels by Michael Shaara and that's what he spent some time doing.  It's the first novel in ages he's seemed to enjoy.  Maddie and Tyler decided to do some home ec!  The cooked home made hash browns and pancakes~yes for lunch, lol~and then did some big time cleaning in the kitchen. They even made up a menu for each person who would be eating. Which, in this case, was only Wes. ;)


After that, they went out to run a bit (Maddie walked since she's got the cold) as they're going to do a 1/2 mile run (Tyler) and 1 mile run (Maddie and Wes) at our last co-op on Friday.  I walked Tucker and worked on dinner and they helped out a bit.  Now they're outside playing with a giant cloth frisbee type toy while Tucker cries inconsolably because he can't go out with them. But he bites the frisbee, tears holes in it, and runs off with it~not good for sure. :)


Workouts:


Friday~AM Cardio Burn Yoga, 30 minute practice:  PM Dog walk and Fit Body Yoga, Core Practice 


Saturday~Jessica Smith's 10 Pounds Down Cardio Abs, cardio ab portion; Fit Body Yoga, Upper Body; PM dog walk.


Sunday~short dog walk; Rainbeau Mars' Pure Tranquility (set on the beach in Hawaii, just a lovely, stretchy yoga workout, very gentle).


Monday~Jessica Smith's 10 Pounds Down Cardio Abs, 4 minute Tummy Torching Tabata.  If you've done tabata, try this 4 minute gem and you'll feel DONE. All out maximum effort for 20 seconds, rest 10 and do it again. 8 times total.  After that was Element Yoga Power Yoga.  PM dog walk


Today~Tracie Long Reboot Volume 2 (intense/recovery type cardio using body weight, light weights, and med ball).  Lots of fun. PM dog walk and Rodney Yee's Ultimate Power Yoga, restoration segment.


What I'm reading:  The Goddess Test (http://www.amazon.com/The-Goddess-Test-Harlequin-Teen/dp/0373210264/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1335307837&sr=8-1) ; just started Goddess Interrupted (http://www.amazon.com/Goddess-Interrupted-Harlequin-Aimee-Carter/dp/0373210450/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1335307837&sr=8-4).  Great youth novels based on Greek mythology. Since I liked the Percy Jackson series and the Iron Fey series I knew I would enjoy these. I certainly do.
