Thing 1 gets first crack at the new shirt:
He looked so cute in it I had to take his picture. Thing 2 can't take not being in the center of attention. Thing 1 is doing his best to roll his eyes. It doesn't quite work yet. Also, I did manage to get them to eat the salad, despite the moans. Obama!Okay, the school has really got to start holding up its end of things: I pay taxes, you teach. Weekdays. All 5.
First Monday of two stay at home Mondays in February for the kinder today. (The two in January were not enough for whatever extra instruction the teachers required. You know they're drinking tequila and yukking it up right now.) We spent the day practicing our instruments, doing laundry and making valentine matchbook covers containing the previously mentioned crayon hearts for our classmate exchanges on Thursday. It took a while, with the glueing and the sewing and the coloring and the arduous writing of names.
God! I am such a taskmaster!!
In a not-terribly-surprising development, Thing 2 delights in writing and drawing and that sort of thing, though he is massively inefficient at it, invariably makes a horrible mess, and always needs to include drawing on his face with markers at some point. Thing 1, though he is quite efficient and neat, can't focus long enough to get an entire name written down without a typo. We know whence these diverse skills come.Also, Mommy got to play with Photoshop a bit. Yum.
