Great day!
First thing this morning I packed a bag full of sketch books, art supplies, etc, for easy hauling to the backyard. Project Bubbles, day 2—though still no actual bubbles yet, as I haven't been to the store!
The girls and I began reading As You Like It. It's fun to have enough people to fill parts right in our own family. I was really wishing Scott could be in on it, though. Beanie did a fantastic job with her parts (Oliver and Touchstone, so far)—I was pretty impressed, considering her age. Rose makes a lovely Celia, and Jane dove into Rosalind with spirit. This is going to be fun.
Mid-morning, time to change things up. Cinnamon toast was proposed, prepared, munched. Yum. Rilla and went outside (baby in tow) and cleaned up the backyard. I'm falling behind on the weeding, though. Have to catch up this weekend.
Semi-lunch, kind of snacky, all still full from the toast. Quiet time: Rilla seems to be giving up her nap. I watched a couple of Signing Time episodes with the littles while the big girls read, played, crocheted.
Then Jane hung out with littles while I mowed the lawn.
Big girls took turns on Runescape. An hour each. I went out back with littles & the art bag. Rilla and Wonderboy had such a good time painting. A girl down the block dropped by to play with Jane. They started a game of Blokus. Rose and Beanie came outside and discovered their new sketch books. (I'd bought them for Christmas and forgotten all about them! Found them in a box with some scented pencils this morning.)
5pm, inside for a tidy-up and dinner prep. BBQ chicken (crockpotted), baked beans, roasted broccoli & tomatoes.
Baby fussy, time's up, more later maybe.
