Shayne spent the night in Brady last night with his brothers, so we rearranged our morning routine a bit. I let everybody sleep until 7, then we got up and ready really quick and were out the door by 7:30. All the girls needed a little extra beauty sleep, including me! (especially me!)
Thursdays are fun for Anna because she gets to see ME during the day! I usually spend a few hours doing copying, laminating, cutting, hanging, etc. for the teachers. Sometimes I even get to eat lunch with her, if the timing works out right. The are learning about plants, and specifically talked about seeds today. They got to sample several foods, then describe the differences and characteristics. She liked the avocado, strawberry, lemon, and lime. She did not care for the pea or cucumber, and thought the papaya was particularly disgusting (she used the term 'vomit' to describe it). She designed a glittery samurai poster to wrap up her reading group's review of the Magic Tree House - Night of the Ninjas book. In P.E., she was given a green star for winning her sprint.!
Bethany had a full day of preschool day. When I left her, she was working intently on a ball of orange play-do. She also painted a rainbow, on it the teacher wrote Bethany's words "At the end of the rainbow, I would like to find new clothes like pink and purple skirts." (refer to previous 'skirt' post for additional laughs.) Would you believe that we both catnapped again today? Two-days in a row! woo-hoo!
Katie spends Thursdays in an alternative classroom for gifted students. She was a little disappointed today because, after 2 days of testing, she found out her class was working on an art project most of the day. In GT, she spent most of her time working on her research project: Slavery in the United States.
After school, I loaded the kids in the car, grabbed a few slushes at Sonic Happy Hour, then went driving around the area looking for wildflowers. We made several stops, and got several great shots!
