Day 28: Back to the Real World

This morning started off great. Caleb had plenty of time and was out the door as soon as the bus arrived. Madison slept in until 7:30 then got up demanding yogurt. 

Daniel left for work and had a pretty busy day. I caught up on school work and all that fun stuff. 

Once Caleb got home he announced that he had some bad news; he had left his jacket behind. Good news though, he knew where he left it: outside on the playground. With the rain and snow mixture, I'm sure his jacket will be nice and warm IF he finds it. I'm at a complete loss with this kid. He forgets everything! 

Madison decided to be a handful tonight and colored all over her hand with markers. I took them away, told her no, and let her play with something else. Later, I gave them back and she went back to coloring on the whiteboard (easel). Then she was gone. She drew all over the coffee table and a couch pillow. Thankfully, it's dry erase marker and should come off of the pillow. It wiped right off the table. Again, trouble. Well, in the midst of cooking dinner, I pulled the easel near the kitchen and she still managed to draw all over her arm and hand. Can we say defiant? 

She clearly needed a new look. 

She loves plain spaghetti noodles. She'd pick one up, say, "yay" then slurp it down. She and Caleb ate great tonight!

 

This is how she watched tv at the end of the night. 

Overall, we had a pretty good day. Hopefully tomorrow will be just as good if not better!
