October 4: My pumpkins

I can’t believe it but I wrote my whole post and then lost it – uggh. It was a good day.

abbreviated highlights:

• chocolate thursday, all kids ate well. kids got to school on time, we enjoyed the ride and talked about fog.
• Red’s drop off was cute because her, her best friend, and Twin Crazy were singing and dancing with each other. even twin husky was laughing at them.
• Twin crazy was adorable today with her little ballerina outfit and hat
• lots of pretend play at home. Shopping, cooking, plates, playing house in a big Amazon cardboard box. Watered plants. Cut with scissors, drew in notebooks.
• Napped. I took the napping kids in the car at 2 PM to pick up the rest of the kids
• pick ups were fine; Red’s pick up was right at the time of the Ladybug reading event. Everyone sat and heard a book be read. Each class then did a performance. I am proud that Red sang and did not cry.
• On the way home we stopped at Trader Joes for pumpkins. THe kids went nuts and drew a lot of attention to us.
• At home the kids drew, wrote their names on their pumpkins, and continued to build and draw and create a better house out of the Amazon cardboard box.
• Fast dinner. Fast books. Fast bedtime. I’m tired.

I’m really tired and have a lot on my mind these days. I did a little bit of work throughout the day but not much. There is a lot to do to prepare for my next big meeting in 2 weeks time. I also think all of the driving is catching up with me. I hope to go to sleep early tonight and catch up on sleep over the weekend –

Til tomorrow –
