The skin in your ear makes ear wax!
8 am finally roll out of bed after a good time of snuggling!
9am breakfast is eaten, had to skip Pilates (promise myself to do it later), teeth is brushed, hoo-yah the day is ours!
9:15 am Found missing sock behind couch. A sign of a good day ahead.
9:30 am Learning about skin. Skin gives us our sense of touch. Spend 15 minutes touching everything we can and classifying whether it is hot,cold, fuzzy, sticky, smooth, rough or gross
9:45 am Blindfold Lucy and play a game where she has to guess what I've put in her hands. She's a smart cookie and I only caught her peeking three times. Her younger sister, Cherry (age 23 months), recognizes hot and cold objects. "Co'd mama."
10:00 am Stand outside in the cold weather with no socks on...conclusion:this produces goosebumps
10:05 am Do a happy dance to warm up from our silly experiment and wait for the hot water to boil
10:07 am Potty break for Cherry. And it's a miss...change wet pants
10:10 Create a multipurpose scavenger hunt for Lucy. She must find the following:4 hard items, 3 soft items, 2 fuzzy items, 1 paper item, 1 cold item, 1 hot item
10:11 Clever, clever me. Lucy has to read the scavenger hunt, find all the items, group them together and count. While I put the hot water to good use and have a facial...only to show the effects of sweating, of course
10:30 am Decide we all need something soft that can be hard sometimes: cheese and apple snack
10:40 am Lucy has to print out her scavenger list and Cherry and I use our sense of touch to clean up the massive explosion of toys she made while my head was under a towel for a mini-facial, I mean the sweating experiment
10:52 am Outside play to let our skin feel the textures of the outdoors
10:58 am Back in to let our skin feel the texture of liquid peroxide as Lucy's knee has made a new memory with the road
11:15 am We work together to get supplies for our African Safari tomorrow and then lunch
6 pm After naps, neighbour play time at the park, baking cherry turnovers and slapping together some cheese and mayo sandwiches for dinner, Lucy declares a hostile takeover. Charlotte's Web is out, Ramona Forever by Beverly Cleary is in. Since this is bedtime and I'm not in the mood to quibble, we read chapter one of Ramona Forever. Ramona meets Howie's rich uncle, Hobart. Which begs the question: what were people thinking when they came up with the name Hobart? Just putting it out there.
7:20 pm Kids are in bed. Finish watching Phantom of the Opera, which funny enough is not the storyline I thought it was. I never knew what the storyline was but I didn't think that it would go in the direction it did. Not bad. That Lloyd Webber knows his stuff.
9pm email, chat, finally sign up on homschool blogger
9:15 pm fidget with my wedding ring
9:17 wonder if I have enough milk for cereal in the morning
9:19 continue to write random stuff on my blog that has no real bearing on anyone's life
9:20 Ok, i'll stop
