Crazy Kid

Maggie was so excited with all the "p" words yesterday, that she thought we should do a different letter today!

This was her conversation with me this morning, "So what letter should we do today mom? How about we do the letter "c"...cause we can have cereal for breakfast, cookies for lunch and cake for dinner, oh and we can do crafts all day....doesn't that sound like fun!"

That's when I had to break it to her....no cookies and cake and NO CEREAL for breakfast... cause we were totally out of milk! Instead of the fun "c" day we were off to get a haircut for this mama and some much needed groceries! Doesn't that sound like way more fun! NOT!

The kiddos were so good at the store and only bugged me for a few things, and I only gave into one of those things...I'm so strong. We ended up stopping at the movie store (it's still cold and cruddy around here) and picked up "Bedtime Stories"...a very cute movie!

We are finishing our evening with Taco Tuesday, American Idol, and a very warm bath for mama.

Positively Perfect!

On the first day of spring break my true love gave to me...oh, wrong song and my singing is so horrible I will spare you from listening...instead we are going with a "P" theme for this positively perfect stay-home-all-day-long-day!

It was a poor, pitiful, rainy spring day, the perfect day for a pile of pancakes at breakfast. That was Maggie's request and since we wouldn't normally have time to make a pan full of pancakes on a school day, today was her day to pick!

I also tried to get a picture of the people still in their pajamas at a quarter to four this afternoon, but one particular boy was having a problem with it. Maybe it was all the posing for pictures during the picking of eggs yesterday that did him in. Sorry, no picture of the people in their pajamas...maybe next time!

We made popcorn for lunch! Our pantry is in great need of being replenished and I should have piled the people into the van and ventured out to the store today, however...it was much more fun to stay in our cozy jammies and in our warm house and not get out in the rain today! Popcorn and a movie...what could make lunchtime more fun???

Maggie and I also played a new game of "sight word" poker. We laid out all the flash cards and she picked out the words she knew for sure...we then practiced the ones she didn't know as well. Practice makes perfect! She makes this parent so proud!

The plan for dinner turned out to be homemade pizza...we had to have something with a "P" since we had pancakes for breakfast, popcorn for lunch...we just HAD to have pizza for dinner! I guess we could have had, pork chops, potatoes & peas...but pizza, well do I really need to say more?!?

It was a great end to our positively perfect day!
