My 8 year old daughter told me one day this week that she got to "eat my lunch in alphabetical order". I looked at her confused. She explained, "I ate the carrots first, then pizza, then strawberries, then sugar cookie, and water. Alphabetical order!" She was very thankful that I'd packed her a lunch conducive to the ABC order!

I walked in on this happy little scene my 5 year old had set up to read to all her little stuffed friends:

Every Friday I do a "special snack" for the kids after school. The rest of the week is fruit or granola bars or whatever happens to be around, but on Fridays I plan something a bit special that I know the kids will love. Last week I was too busy to make anything but did plan ahead enough to grab three bags of popcorn while I was at Trader Joe's, one regular, one cheese, and one kettle corn. I set up a "Popcorn Bar" for the kids and they LOVED it! So easy!

In a throw-back to the 1980s, the 10 year old has gotten into the Rubix cute lately. My husband was quite the Rubix cube expert in his time and has taught the 10 year old some of his tricks to solving the Rubix cube. Then this week, a 2nd Rubix cube arrived in the mail. My husband ordered a 2nd one so that he and the 10 year old can have Rubix cube races. Here's one that happened after the 10 year old's swim practice tonight:
I love the serious face on my son! My husband won, solving it first in about 5 minutes, but I give the 10 year old just another month or so before he'll be beating his dad!

I haven't seen a rubix cube in years... How fun that dad and son now have something else to bond over
ReplyDeleteGood for both of them solving it. I could only do it if I took it apart and put it back together.
ReplyDeleteI love the story time picture, how sweet is that girl:)
ReplyDeleteOne of the things I really miss eating (because of 8 jaw surgeries this year) is popcorn. Actually I miss eating everything but the popcorn looks really good.
I never one time figured out that crazy cube. They both look adorable trying to win:)

Sweet story reading to the stuffed animal friends! I love when children do those things!
ReplyDeleteAlso the Rubix cube always got the best of me but what a great thing for a father and son to do together!!
Oh that reading picture with the stuffed animals just makes my heart burst. Takes me back to little girl days in my house. My youngest is a 'real' teacher now, but she learned an awful lot managing her stuffed animal class in our basement back in the day!
ReplyDeleteThat's fun. I can't get over how fit your husband is; clearly he does not live in Wisconsin (no beer gut?!haha) Loved the sweet book buddies pic :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking up. Have a great weekend.
I never did get the hang of the Rubix cube, even when looking up instructions for solving it on YouTube! I finally got it after many on and off tries and don't want to mess it up again. I think that's a cute idea your daughter has about reading to her stuffed animals.
