Jake woke up early this morning and headed to work since we’d told him he could work today if he came home around 5pm. As soon as the kids woke up, we called my mom, cause it’s her birthday. LOVE YOU MOM!!
We then went to Cafe Borrone for breakfast only after I promised they could play since neither of them really wanted to go.
They know I hate that particular game so they were messing with me by putting it in the photo.
I read while they played. Making my way through this book really slowly.
David drew using Paper 53. 
We then headed to the book store. Looked at puzzle books and more. We intended to buy no books. 
But ended up with all these.
David cleaned up his room while Nathaniel and I folded all the laundry. 
We then cleaned up the toy bins too so I decided it was time reward me with some CNN while the kids played. 
I did some of the KenKen puzzles while I watched. The 1-4 ones were easy but the 1-6 ones were super hard!
I’d promised we’d play board games today so we pulled out AntiMatter Matters – A quantum physics game.
I like being the yellow guy.
This was our first time building a neutron along with the proton and electron.
At the very end, David tried to do an “evil” move by making me lose my pieces but then i told him, what if I spun the “center” and won (since I already had all my pieces.) There was a 10% chance but that’s exactly what I did! I loved it that much more because I’d just told him that I usually win because I focus on winning and he focuses on destroying others. Lol.
Then it was time for ubongo.
I am not so great with spatial things so I find this game challenging and I like playing it so I can get better.
The crowns are still a big hit in the house.
David and I did an Algebra book this fall. I told him he’d have to do 10 random problems from the book to prove to me that he still remembers the material. And the boy did! 🙂
And then it was time to practice guitar.
Right after, Jake got home so we walked down to Palo Alto for some ice cream. Bottom left is me, though I ended up only eating the pink one which is Strawberry Lemonade Sorbet. Top left is David. Top right is Jake. Bottom right is Nathaniel. 
We then walked back home. David had practice with his Talent Show team so they are off doing that and Nathaniel and I did a bunch of math together right before I tucked him in. Now I am watching some TV and typing this up. It’s 8pm which means we have only about one hour before I call it a night.
And there we go. A whole week documented. I am proud of myself for pulling that off 🙂
Thanks for sharing your week with us…. your mom is beautiful! Oh… I’d like to visit your house just for all the ice cream you guys eat!
Karen please but please keep on doing these Week in the Lİfe 2016 posts I enjoyed them very much.
Great week of documenting! So interesting doing this project thanks for sharing.
Wow, you are very busy. The details of daily life may seem ordinary on the surface, but we don’t notice how things change until we actually observe them closely. Ordinary life is actually quite extraordinary! Thank you for this idea, and congrats for documenting each day!!
