No issues from TS Nicole at my place

 Not too much happened on Thursday at our house. I watched a few movies on DVD in the afternoon and evening. We did play a few rounds of domino's. Notice no one helped me start my train before Emily went out? Good thing for the community train.

Someone was napping under the table while we were playing. Aidan was in the other room driving his F1 game.

Since my MIL dropped off a cake last Sunday from Publix, we popped the unfrosted cakes Emily made Saturday night into the freezer. They came out Wednesday night and she did a great job frosting and piping the whipped oreo cream and decorating with chocolate she made. There were chocolate hearts around the edges.

This morning the kids are at school and it is a multi pickup. I'll grab Aidan at normal time but Emily has first marching parade practice after school with the high school. Greg will go collect her a couple hours after school gets out. I'm off today, so spent the morning figuring out how to keep K-5 girls busy for 30 minutes at a station next weekend at their encampment. The other 30 minutes they will be building rockets to launch from soda bottle rockets. I'm covering the outer space parts - thinking drawing shadows onto paper with toys for the really littles explaining sun,moon and stars. Phases of the moon with either oreo's or felt for the brownies and then learning of the planets and distance with the juniors.  We will see how it goes!

This was Bear yesterday. He would not go outside for Emily in the morning so he kept wining until I got up, put on a coat and went out with him. Zoomies and running ensued and then he did his business. Later that morning, Em went out to check the chickens. He went out...

and yes, the spoiled brat had me go out and play with him too, in the rain!

You can just tell what Bear is thinking - come on, Mom, I'm out here, you come,too! Glad it was relaxing day of games and whatever, and back to normal today.
