Here are somethings I cleaned off our floors today: tape, stickers, dirt, sap, colored pencil, crayon, dog hair, beanbag filling.
After a crazy out-of-sorts week, Peter is working a 48 this weekend, which is actually a good thing. The kids requested just to stay home today and that's pretty much what we did. Mr. T played with his "guys", Miss E did about a hundred cartwheels, I cleaned floors. We set the ladybugs we had hatched (raised?) free in the yard. This afternoon we ventured out to the library to sign up for the summer reading program and to get some books. Then we had rest time and all read books in our separate rooms for an hour.
This evening, I showed Miss E how to do a round-off (yes, I can still do it!), we opened the back door to let the cold damp air in and Mr. T and I read some of his spy story together. The entire day was busy and quiet and peaceful and productive. Exactly what we needed. Like a breath of fresh air.
What fun! I've never been able to do a cartwheel in my whole life. Don't have a clue what a round off is. We were never allowed to be in anything 'cept Jobies 'n Camp Fire in school. So "don't know nuthin' 'bout them thar sport things!" :( But I'm sure glad you all do. Sounds like a simply wonderful, and needed "easy" day! Ours was wonderful too.
