Back to "Normal"

...whatever THAT means. Our kitchen is put back together from the week-long-floor-escapade. So, it's back to business.

• Caroline up early, so she was back down to sleep when the others sat down for breakfast.
• After breakfast, reviewed Madeleine's sight words and she read a couple pages of "3 bears" reader. E-drew, D-played dolls
• Chapter from Little House on the Prairie while girls did stamping and made fingerprint-figures.
• Sat and talked on the couch. Read a couple picture books.
• Watched Signing Time video. Guy showed up to buy Pete's truck. I got dinner ready and cleaned up the kitchen.
• We all made Baptism cookies for tomorrow, Emily is coming over for her Baptism anniversary.
• Girls outside to play. Lunch outside.
• Quiet time: C-napping, E-lying on the floor, me, D,M on couch listened to Rosary CD. Madeleine kept scolding me b/c I was falling asleep.
• Play time for them. I worked on computer, made phone calls, did laundry.
• Amy over. Dorothy Jo and Amy played in Living room. Madeleine and Erika played in bedroom.
• Everyone outside to play for an hour until dinner.
• Dinner-calzones and salad. Madeleine quizzed Pete about the order of the pres of U.S - from the placemat. Read Dolly Madison story about the George Washington portrait during dessert.
