Ahh - fall break! This was kind of a weird emotional fall break. One one hand I was VERY aware that this was the last real time with the kids and me before the baby comes. BUT I was also feeling VERY pregnant and unable to really do a lot of fun things with them. I was really only up for 1 outing a day. ALSO - things financially kept getting worse and worse and there wasn't any money to do anything. AND I needed help around the house. I needed a lot of jobs done that I hadn't done since summer (clean baseboards, blinds, etc) and we needed to do the weekly cleaning. I tried to find a good balance and looking back I think we did a great job. On Sunday night I let them all pick their own jobs and they had all week to do them - on their own schedule and at their own pace. We spent most of the week just lounging around and playing with friends. Everyday I told them I would take them somewhere if they wanted. Most days they never took me up on my offer. In the following posts are a few times they (mostly the girls) did. I was also very "nesting" and we desperately needed to go through all the kids' closets, clothes, and deep clean and declutter their rooms. I had them pull out their beds and clean baseboards and vacuum under all furniture. I did one kids a day. Noah told me I had gone crazy.
