Hurray!

Lizzie is back in school today. Hurray! She has only gone four days in the last three weeks thanks to "teacher prep days," snow days, and the two days I took her out of school (pre-snow) to visit Nana.

I'm so glad the endless cancellations seem to finally be over. Just in time too. Yesterday to fill up another day I took Liz to see the latest Alvin and the Chipmunks movie, then I picked up a friend for Lizzie to play with at home. They played well and barely even made a mess--or so it seemed.

When it was time to go I noticed that the girls had opened a bean bag pillow and purposely spread the stuffing all over floor. They said they were sorry, but immediately started giggling (even when I set them both to vacuuming). Lizzie also had a hard time keeping a straight face hours later when she described her crime to Andrew.

She was pretty sorry though when she had to sleep in a bed filled miniature bean bag beads. She actually removed her pillowcase and put her feet in it so she could fall asleep without feeling the sand-like stuffing between her toes. Ahhh, natural consequences.

Now what is the natural consequences of drawing with pen on your winter coat? I thought it would having an ugly coat but Lizzie thinks it looks nice.
