Starting out the morning with games.
Claire too.
Having been officially cleared of bed bugs, we've been working on the process of putting everything back where it belongs. Eleanor happily carries shoes back to her room.
Claire too.
Claire peers in to see what might be in the latest bag brought down from the attic.
After emptying it, she kindly takes it to the recycling bin.
Putting cushions back on the chair in her room.
Being still without the van, we decided to visit the church we go to every week for church playgroup. It was a familiar place for the girls, but Claire seemed really thrown off by how many people were there and how different it was from our normal experience there.
Both girls picked fancy dresses for church. I think this stemmed from the excitement of having a few dresses hanging in their closet again.
A cold walk/ride home.
A special cookie eating technique? Yep, pick out all of the chocolate chips!
After nap, we tried our hands at pointillism, the style of art in this week's book.
Eleanor's verdict? Pointillism is super tedious. Why not just mix the colors together to get the color you want?
The finished products: my attempt at true pointillism (maybe filled about a square inch or less of space) and Eleanor's paintings.
Claire wakes up. For the first time I find books in her crib--she made use of the nearby bookshelf. Like big sister, like little sister.
And that wasn't enough. Reading some more.
And "cooking water."
Learning about the Canadian flag.
Eleanor proudly set up a spot for our Super Bowl Party.
Eleanor helps make pizzas. Claire steals pepperoni.
I don't how or why, but these girls get excited about football. They always point it out when they catch sight of it on a TV somewhere, and sometimes even just ask out of nowhere if it's on TV. Eleanor's opinion of the Super Bowl: "I don't like how long it takes (meaning all the pre-game and commercials). I just like it when they play football." Are these our kids?!?
