Fitting School In

   We had friends come in from out of town this week. They have an 8-year-old boy and a boy who was born just a few weeks after Molly. I had cleaning and shopping to do...when exactly does school fit in when there is a huge shift in the routine? Well, we ran around most of the day but there was a lull in the late afternoon while we were waiting for them to arrive. Molly and I managed to get a good hour of her reading program done. She earned six stars!  She had so much fun with her reading program that it turned out to be a perfect distraction from the torture of waiting for her friends to show up.

    She had a ball with the boys! They see each other once or twice a year and it seems as if no time has passed when they are all together. Molly was thrilled to discover that Miles loves to play dress up...he even brought his Harry Potter costume with him! So cute! FYI...he doesn't wear glasses...that's part of the costume:) Earlier in the day we had also discovered the joy of Madlibs on my iphone. We laughed our butts off! We can't wait to do some more...they feed right into her love of language as well as her love of anything silly:)
     We took the day off of school today because she was so exhausted from her time with Miles and Finn that she slept 3 1/2 hours this afternoon. Back to it tomorrow and then a children's museum outing on Saturday.
