On Tuesday the girls got busy on Mary’s book report. They made the poster almost entirely on their own. Lydia typed the text into my mom’s computer while Mary dictated, and together they put the poster together. It took a lot of time and came out so great.
The only problem was that the glitter glue dripped when we moved the poster someplace safe to dry. Mary was sad because she didn’t like the effect, but I think the drips look like rain drops–and that’s appropriate, because the book is about a garden!
Then in the afternoon I took the kids to the Museum of Natural Curiosity. It was so much easier than usual, and I don’t know why. Normally bathroom breaks are a crisis and I always lose my kids. Well, I guess I lost a couple kids at various points, but for some reason I figured they were fine and it didn’t stress me out like it normally does. And they were fine and I found them minutes later each time, so it all worked out.
