Homework Helper

Hannah came over for dinner tonight and brought her homework. As soon as she started her reading, Abby grabbed some paper and created math problems for her "homework" and then she grabbed the ipad so that she could look exactly like Hannah while doing her work. It was fun to watch!

Grace on the other hand, didn't have any homework on her mind. She just wanted to escape! She found the door open to the garage and climbed outside. Silly girl! She loves to go into the garage and wreck havoc on all the toys. I'm going to have to keep an eye on that one.

We had another great day! We headed out to the Secretary of State. I had to renew my driver's license. Don't you just love when they take your picture? Definitely not something I ever look forward to. After that trauma we headed to the Aquatic Center for some swimming. It was open swim for the toddler group (6 yrs. and younger) and the girls loved it! We were in the water for an hour and a half. Then it was home for some lunch, naps, and more playtime outside with neighbors. After a quick trip to Target, I made lasagna for dinner. I love lasagna! I was planning on making some homemade bread with it but never got around to putting the ingredients in the bread machine, so I had to make monkey bread instead. I am addicted to monkey bread! I wonder if I subconsciously didn't get the bread ingredients ready because I really wanted monkey bread. And to top it all off, there's some left for breakfast. Yum!

But let me just tell you about dinner at our house tonight. I think we might have scared Hannah. First of all, Grace ate dinner in just her diaper. I took her clothes off because she tends to make a mess and lasagna stains. I didn't want any extra laundry, so the clothes came off. Then half way through dinner Grace decided she was done eating and took off her shoe and played with it. This is normal for Grace. For some reason she loves to take off her socks and shoes. But then she threw it and it landed in the lasagna dish. Ugh! Not to be outdone, Abby grabbed her flip flop (yeah, who knows why she's wearing flip flops in April!) and tossed it in the air and it hit the dog. All this while I'm trying to enjoy my monkey bread. After a few consequences and conversation, all was settled and we moved on with dinner. Hannah was laughing so hard and trying to hide it from the girls. I'm not sure she'll come to dinner again anytime soon, but then again, maybe she will because we're funny cheap entertainment! :)

But now the girls are sleeping and I'm getting ready to do some school work. While cleaning today I found my school bag and remembered that I have report cards to work on and papers to grade. I'm hoping to be so productive that I'll get it all done tonight and not have to worry about it again. Here's to wishful thinking!
