I hope everyone had a great week. Thanks for checking out my weekly series posted every Friday, Week in Review. Enjoy a recap of how the week went down, and tell me about yours.

1) What’s gotten my attention this week?

Koo Koo Kanga Roo. Oh my goodness. These dudes write, sing, and dance to the silliest original songs. All 3 kids love their Youtube channel (and maybe my husband and I do too). These songs have helped to change the mood in the house when someone is cranky or to release energy when we are getting too wound up. So far this is our favorite.

2) What blog post should you check out?

Family History. It’s a beautiful and original poem on The Cheesesellers Wife. Check it out.

3) What’s been going on this week?

Everything? We got news the kids will be finishing up school this year from home while I am still working remotely. Everyone here is doing great, and I think we actually really like being home and spending time together. Between working here and the whole family being here all the time though, I feel busier than ever. Now that the weather has gotten nicer we have been better about keeping our playtime and screentime more balanced. There are still lots of snuggles though.

4) What’s going on this weekend?

Laser Tag and Fire. We ordered a laser tag kit that we will most certainly break in this weekend. I’d also like to fire up the chiminea to roast hot dogs and marshmallows.

5) Did you miss this post?

A Teacher Parade Amid COVID-19. Oh, friends, this one tugged at my heartstrings.

6) What did my kids create?

Self Portraits, Cubism and more. DNA Galleries is a local business hosting a 30-day art challenge. The kids and I have participated in a few of the prompts.
