School Daze

We’ve had a busy day.

We hit up the children’s museum today with some of our homeschooling friends. That blur would be Maxine.

Dancing Machines!

Dance Dance Revolution!

Maxine hearts unicorns. Mommy hearts gingerbread men cookies. No one would take a picture of me hugging that guy up there though, especially with the security guard standing under me threatening to escort us out if I didn’t get down off the wall.

Working hard on a tracing project.

Crossing the Pond – without getting too close to the giant over there in the corner.

And just when I thought we hadn’t done enough today, Zak the Lego Maniac came home from work early and proposed we go swimming. Three votes yes, one vote no. My objection was overruled by hootin’ and hollern’ and emptyin’ of drawers to find bathing suits and towels and goggles.

Fine. Hoot. Hollar. Let me get my suit.

Pool Time

Since the pool we swim in is at a university, we stopped in a class room on our way out of dodge for a little lesson on letters and numbers by Teacher Ava. What’s with the nerdy tall guy sitting so close to the front? Doesn’t he know there are shorter people in back who can’t see over him?

Continuing with the college theme of the evening – what’s a group of three girls and a guy to do after a rocking pool party and then an evening class? Get PIZZA. That motion passed unanimously.

Pizza Time

The grown up pizza had hot peppers, mushrooms, onions and pineapple. The other pizza was a lot less interesting but they were equally consumed.

In true college fashion we’re all up late and will surely be sleeping late tomorrow and skipping class. Good thing I’m the teacher. I rarely hand out tardy slips.
