I was so nice to have a Monday off! And by "off" I mean, Adam didn't have any school. Daddy still had to work and Mommy got housework and laundry done (all my Monday chores). We had some fun though for President's Day. We started the day off with some George Washington pancakes.
Adam and Tessa played a president's matching game and colored some pictures of George Washington.
We read some fun books about some of our presidents. We read a fun one about Abe Lincoln and his tall hat. We made some hats just like his. I also showed the kids my pictures from visiting Washington DC, Lincoln's law office in Springfield, Illinois, and Lincoln's Tomb.
They made their Presidential decrees! Tessa said if she were president, she would go to Disneyland everyday. Her picture is of her on a ride at Disneyland.
Adam's is so Adam. Everything is all about basketball!
It was a slightly warmer yesterday (40 degrees) and so we spent some time playing outside. Eric was able to get Adam's hoop set up from Christmas and he is LOVING it!!
To end our President's Day, we had an all American dinner of Hamburgers, French Fries, and Root Beer Floats. It was nice to have all my kids home with me all day and that makes me so anxious for summer! Adam's 3 day weekend was extended for a day or two when his tummy got sick in the middle of the night last night. Hopefully he will be over this bug quick! He is dying to play basketball-even when he is sick!
