Aug. 27, 2006 - Stuff and Whatnot
The girls have two weeks left of their summer quarter and then they get a four week break. The Pinto Bean won't be too happy about that. She loves her schoolwork too much, but I've got some workbooks that she can do by herself so I get get a break as well. I think I make try and use the time to organise and declutter a bit. Don't quote me on that though.
We finished up school yesterday by reading Snow White and making Magic Mirror cookies. They didn't last very long because they were so yummy. I had thought about doing some school work with the girls again today, but I decided that I'm going to finish folding the sheets and do a little cleaning instead. That way if the weather stays nice we can go outside and play in the baby pool this afternoon.
All the kids got new Halloween shirts last night and they're wearing them today. I guess the trend is to dress your preschoolers like hootchie mamas because all the girls shirts were very small and tight. Green Bean, who normally wears a 5T, couldn't fit into ANY of the girls shirts so she ended up with a boy's 4T, a size smaller than normal. Pinto and Lima Bean each had to get a size larger than normal. Oh well. They're still cute and Green Bean doesn't care that she has a boy's shirt, she only cares that she has one. I'd post a picture, but the camera is currently out in Idaho with Don. But Halloween is still two months away so there's plenty of time to catch them being cute.
