Today Lily and I got an e-mail from Mary’s teacher saying she is not really turning in any of her assignments……We were a bit confused because Lily has been sending Mary upstairs to spend time on assignments that Lily predesignated for her. Today, Lily took it one step further, and sat down next to Mary to personally supervise ten pages of math homework. Mary is so behind, that is about how much she will need to do each day in order to eventually catch up.
Mary was so pooped after all the math and the other activities of the day, that she flopped face-forward into the couch pillows and fell asleep when she was done. That was just after dinner.
This is a good time to highlight how much I love our couch. We got it used from the owners of the house before us and it is perfect for kids. We are not stressed out about it because it is clearly used and we know we will eventually replace it. And yet, it is so so soft and comfy. I can collapse into it, and get completely lost in it’s softness and seemingly endless areas. Add in all the pillows we added and you have a cozy wonderland……perfect for……children playing imaginary games of course!
Here is a video of Clarissa, Ammon and Mary playing a game of pig pen (or something like that).
Clarissa dressed up in a 6T Jasmine dress today. She’s so cute and Tall!
The highlight of my day was walking around the block 5 times with Lily as we just caught up with each other. I love that woman, and time to just connect with her in simplicity is among my most prized possessions. On one of our final laps the birds were singing. We also saw progressions of the sunset every time we rounded the corner before our house. It was a very magical evening.
After our walk Lily went in to Ammon’s room and caught this picture of our adorable little Ammon in his new bed:
