Sunday, late afternoon. Mark off at a magic lecture. Kaylee just out of the shower. Somehow the subject of “Weird Al” Yankovic’s “Eat It” comes up (probably as we were trying to decide what we wanted for supper). I pull it up online for them to hear. Spontaneous dance party to erupts. We take turns picking songs for the next hour and a half. Good times. :)
When Mark has D&D, the kids (including any extra kids who may have tagged along with their gaming dads) and I always have frozen pizza for supper. It’s quick and cheap and easy, and as far as the kids are concerned, it’s as good as a gourmet meal. :)
The kids had chocolate ice cream for dessert. They made sure they got every last bit of it. :)
Matthew had been studying whales in science and had to complete this collaged version of a fluke. I’m not sure what most of the questions had to do with science, but it was a cute project. His answers (with his spelling and factual… um… “adjustments”)…
After over 5½” of rain in two days, the playground areas at the park resembled swimming pools.
Kaylee was all ready to dive in after school.
Her face as she caught sight of the smaller play area from the top of the larger structure…
Fortunately, that was the end of the rain for a while, and the water had subsided by morning.
Kaylee decided to build a “thinking chamber” out of pillows as a place to help her focus and get her homework done. :)
Kaylee, running into the room: “Mom, Mom, Mom! Take a picture!”
Me: “Why”
Kaylee": “Because I look FAB-ulous!!!”
Yes, Sweetie, indeed you do. :)
