Unexpected Home Ec...

Unexpected Home Ec, or It's apparently been that kind of month..

Sigh.....I keep hoping we'll get back to being on our right feet again, but Life has those other ideas, doesn't it?

Today's "Home Ec Lesson": why you really shouldn't open up one of those multi-color ink pens and then pull off or cut off the
pen tip and then hide it under the bed. Twirly-Whirly is bright, inquisitive, and has a penchant for playing with scissors. So this morning
is filled with some new activities like cleaning under the bed to find the ink cartridge (found it along with a number of "missing" Hot Wheels),
scrubbing her brother's mini-pillow pet Morsel (Lil bro to Chocolate Chip Cookie aka Chip, the full-sized one) and his brand new bedspread
(might not have been so bad had the one she cut been the blue one but it was magenta!) as well as the previously unstained pair of pants
he was dressed in for school before he sat in a puddle on the floor (yup the wood floor is stained now too).

If we get to the Library Storytime and Park Play today...well....I told her we would still have to do the whole Circle Time and Main Lesson before we went out,
but honestly I already feeling like just doing lessons later after lunch. I think we will both need the fresh air. We have had some good days and are on top of
our lesson plans so it's been pretty good so far. We still have to get started with yoga, but we've also registered to do Marathon Kids this year. And I need to
be firmer (with myself) about practicing violin (for her;cello for me) before I add the pennywhistle lessons. We are still fighting back the six-leggers on a many
times a day level so I guess we are not doing so badly considering. Still.....I look forward to smoother days to come (I do believe they exist!)

At least I have all the photos downloaded and uploaded! And now I have blogged as well! I'll take whatever victories I can claim! Ciao!
