A Day Indoors (Mostly)…

Insha’Allah I’ll get around to posting about schooling soon, but it’s Saturday! As such, we had plenty to do on this rather dark, drizzly day.

Like, board games!! This is a new obsession around here, one that requires Mama’s full attention and one that Mama sincerely enjoys. It’s great. Our latest hits:

Mansoor LOVES this!

Mama's yellow mouse is about it get it

Yusuf picked up his Montessori lacing / introductory sewing work and declared it too easy. After rummaging through some boxes in the basement, we found the second activity which introduces the running stitch using embroidery floss and burlap. This is great for building concentration, confidence, and fine motor skills (specifically a tripod pencil grip, with which Yusuf needs some help). Mansoor picked up the discarded introductory work and did quite well himself.

He completed two full lines!

Just like my big bro...

We did a major clothes edit and reorganization today too, but the process didn’t exactly inspire photos. I did buy storage tubs at Target last week which made it slightly more interesting.

Much more exciting was our quick venture out in the rain to feed the birds and search for signs of spring. Living in a new (to us) house is so exciting, because no one has any idea what will pop up next! I’ll post pics as soon as I can find the little cable that connects my phone to the computer.

Enjoy your weekend!
