So I have to write about our last Sunday, it was sort of like a bear (or rather mother bear and her young) coming out of hibernation….With the two weeks of stress getting over jet lag and back into the rhythm of school, Bruce gone for a week…Lily yelling and then Riel yelling at her and then me yelling….my goodness why are we ALL yelling????
Figuring out all the details for school every morning in which order everyone does what and all the minutae of what makes for a smooth or rocky start to the day…not too mention all the bureaucratic paper work imaginable for school activities, fees to be paid, photos signed, permission slips delivered…. we emerged **ahhhhh** into the sunshine of a weekend day.
Suddenly we all seemed refreshed, rested and ready. At the same time. Miraculous.
Soooo… what to do.
Ok Mom has a great idea….. let’s do papier mache for your Halloween costumes!!!!!!
(enthusiastic yes it is a great idea pitch to kids who have absolutely no idea what in the world I am talking about…)
What am I talking about?? (ever do Papier Mache with a three year old??)
So I get busy
and mix up 8 (please note quantity) cups of sticky warm gloopy paste and strip kids down to skivvies and we all enthusiastically get to work.
A crown for Lily
and a knights helmet for Riel.
Everything was going so well until some one’s elbow connected with the gloop and then you guessed it….
Oh la la.
