Today was HARD to say the least, here's why:
For some odd reason all of my kids took forever in falling asleep last night, which equaled tired and low energy children today. hmph!
Dovid and Tiferes went to shul with hubby, while Yonason and I did puzzles, Yomin davened and Adara walked around shlupping toys and pulling books off the shelf. whatever-it keeps her busy
10:00- adara went for a nap
sight words with Tiferes- she is getting good. I may introduce the words "mat" and "cat" tomorrow. those will be her first three-letter-words, I think she is ready
multiplication with Dovid. At 11:00, because of their great behavior I let them watch thomas the tank engine which was of little interest to the older boys, and they eventually found their own things to do. It was a low key morning as far as activities.
12:00- did a load of laundry, since Sunday (my usual day of laundry) we are going to baltimore for two days, I wanted to keep the heaps to a minimum, and just throw one last load in saturday night so as not to come home to more laundry
1:00- to the aviary. yes, the kids were slightly entertained as they love to discover new species of birds, however, I was severely dissapointed that it was TINY, and that $57 for the four kids and me to get in was a big rip off. loving that I didnt' get the membership, we wont be going back. at 2, yes 2 ocklock, we were done there- even after seeing some of the exhibits twice. So I told the kids we would have a water day in the front yard.
2:30- filled up the baby pool as the new pool wasn't pumped up yet, and the kids had fun for about 45 minutes. The older two got bored and got dresseed and went inside, while the younger three were happy to be filling up buckets of water and enjoyed getting sprayed by the hose.
4:00- made another peach cake with tiferes
The rest of the time till hubby walked in at 5:15 was just low-key reading on the couch, and cuddle time. everyone was tired.
5:30- went for a run, didn't quite make the 8k that I did on Monday night, partly because my limbs are extremely sore from that run, and also it is much hotter today, which winded me earlier. But I did run over 5k, which is great for a hard day like today
