Friday Things, 2/6

This week, I shared very easy tomato soup, my January books, and a Currently post. 

Scott was away most of the week so we were in survival mode. 

They were super into puzzles yesterday? 

I collected all of these classics earlier in the fall and put them out on Sutton's shelves this week. With a haphazard valentine garland I had made for my classroom in ...2012?

I meal-planned and went to Aldi. 

Wells put a very small sign on his door, in the off chance Sutton has suddenly learned how to read with a magnifying glass. 

We bought this spice grinder probably 10 years ago for $15. We had a fancier coffee grinder at one point and it kept malfunctioning so I threw it away. I've used this cheaper grinder for a few years now and I want to say it works really well...like better than the burr grinder we had. Just my two cents if, you're in the market. I know we got it at Walmart but they are cheaper on Amazon for $25, right now. 

We do a lot (a lot) more screen time if dad isn't around because holy cow. 

Wells finished his cursive book this week so now we're learning how to type. I'm just using Typing Club's free version online. We got this laptop for a project of Scott's and now Wells can have it and we're adding "tEcHnOlOgY" to our homeschool curriculum. I was initially going to move him straight to the 3rd grade cursive book, but I think learning how to type will be more valuable right now. 

I found Wells' old preschool books when I was cleaning out some boxes so Sutton has been doing those. His teacher in Missouri had given them to me at the end of his prek-3 year. 

Oddly, there are not a lot of memes on my phone this week.

I cannot stop laughing at this one:

The local government is back at the overreach and this time they're randomly posting dog tag regulations on Facebook. The only place we ever registered a dog was in Pittsburgh because we truly were in city limits. The fact that they try to regulate this in rural Kansas blows my mind:

The local citizens aren't having it. 

Most comments were like "huh?" or "hey what about the stray cats?"

My Facebook feed is exclusively KC news (haaaate) and the citizens here are also not having it when it comes to the new Chiefs stadium. 

I could explain all of this in detail at this point but the readers of this blog probably don't care. I just think it's funny, overall. I hate that I know so much about it. 

Linking up with Friday Favorites!
