This weekend we will be having our third weekend of visitors. Two weekends ago we went to the regional OM competition to watch friends and former teammates compete and brought two friends home. They mostly played video games and played outside. Then last weekend Christian had a friend up. They also mostly played video games and played outside, but did manage to get to the pool for a few hours.
This weekend, my brother, SIL and adorable nieces will be visiting. We will also have a very late Santa Clause and early Easter Bunny visiting.
This week is spring break around these parts, so we have been hanging out with local friends. Yesterday we went to the park and our pool with A. Today we went to the park and our pool, went out for lunch, and played hours of video games with R, who is a fellow homeschooler. Tomorrow, M & D are coming over to hang out. Thursday Marty is off work, and Friday will be spent getting ready for our weekend company, since we have been to busy enjoying the 70° weather. Next week is spring break for the next school district over, so I am sure there will be friends here all next week.
Somehow, we have managed to get school done through all of this hanging out and doing nothing, too.
R's mom and I have decided that every Tuesday we are going to get the boys together to do something. Basketball at their church, swimming at our house, hiking, bike trails, museums... whatever can get them out of the house and away from the computer/video games! R's mom knows of a summer camp where kids can go and try out a career for a week, so we are also looking into that.
They are also going to join us for our homemade cheap summer camp. Cindy found this really cool site, and I think it might be just what I was looking for to replace the $75-$200 programs at the local nature center. We are going to do the Ecology Box first.
