We just took this picture today. Usually, we take the pic on Christmas day every year but somehow didn’t manage it this time around. Now, it’s time to take the decorations down! Yay, in a way, because we get our living room back. 🙂

The house is back in order (yay) which means a full schedule of lessons begins next week. It’s easier when the bookshelves are in place and books are easily available. The boys had a challenge today as they played chess against other kids at the library while I went to yoga with a friend. Steve lost to the provincial champ. He is 10. Smart kids! Okay, Steve has only played a few times and I have never. After dinner L and I played a game of checkers (L wanted to play chess but it would have been a short game) while Steve and X played Battleship. See pic below: Let’s just say, L’s pieces are the yellow ones. Oh, and X sank all off Daddy’s battleships! Kids these days! 🙂

This afternoon Catherine and I went to yoga and did 108 Sun Salutations with about 50 other wonderful people. It took two hours to get through all 108. One sun salutation set includes about 8 to 10 postures. Multiply that by 108 and that’s a tired but satisfied girl! Dont’ know if I’ll be able to lift my arms tomorrow…totally worth it!

 [UPDATE] Conner wasn’t 10. He was 12. Sheesh! Give me some credit. 😛
