Survival

We survived our first full week of school! Phew. I was a nervous wreck making sure I got Adia and Mira to school and picked up on time. I'm always worried I'll be late to pick them up so we end up being insanely early. Leia will spend her time looking in the window asking "Where's Mira Moo? I can't find Mira Moo! Oh, dere she is." Then we repeat the procedure at Adia's school, but this time it's in stereo and they are desperate to find Adia.

Leia also survived 2 days this week of being home with just me for 2.5 hours. She asked for Mira several times, but when it came time to put shoes on to go get her sisters, she didn't want to leave. She was enjoying the quiet (yes, it was crazy quiet!) and make believe play without anyone stealing her toys or pestering her.

On Wednesday, when Daddy was home, Adia and I rode bikes to her school. She did a terrific job staying on the sidewalk and she only crashed twice. She's actually really good at catching herself before crashing. She did fall on the playground and skinned her knee. She told me she didn't cry and her teacher was shocked that she didn't. She's a tough cookie and it was a pretty bad scrape. I told her she was taking after me. All the scars on my knees were from accidents on the playground.

The twins enjoyed some quiet time today while Adia was at school. We rode bikes to school and I pulled the twins in the bike trailer. When we got back, the twins watched Care Bears (their newest obsession) while I got on the elliptical. And this is how my children like to watch TV.

Our life is about to get even crazier. The twins start soccer next week and I have another PTO meeting. Adia also wants to take a drawing class, which I'm considering. I think she'd be good at it and it would be good for her eye hand coordination. Her tumbling class doesn't start until next month.

And our guinea pig is still around. He's been ignored lately, but I did need to clean his cage. Since Adia and Leia were busy watching Avatar: The Last Airbender with Daddy, Mira got to hold the piggie. She was one happy girl. However, when I was done cleaning the cage, I walked out into the living room to find the cat sitting next to her on the couch. Yikes! He's been trying to find away into the pig cage and spends a lot of time sitting on top of the cage.
