Walking to School

I love walking the girls to school in the morning.

Before that time, there is usually yelling and shouting.

From me:

“Brush your hair!”

“Put your shoes on!”

“Why don’t you even have your socks on yet?”

“IT’S TIME TO GO! WHYDOYOUSTILLHAVEYOURPAJAMASON?”

From the girls:

“I DID brush my hair!”

“I can’t put on my shoes if I don’t have socks on!”

“DID YOU MAKE MY LUNCH YET?”

Once we get out the door, I have one little girl on each side of me, holding my hand.

We talk about the day ahead of us.

We talk about the weather.

We talk about anything at all.

I wish we lived just a little bit farther away.

(Except then we would be late for school.)

What to Do With the Extra Pumpkin

Hi I am Lily. Today Nov.24 my mom wanted to make pumpkin cookies. I did too. My mom used up all of the eggs to make yoke in the middle for breakfast. The recipe for pumpkin cookies needs eggs. Mommy found one more recipe. I said “I want to try both recipes.” Mommy said “We will wait to get eggs.” So we did not make pumpkin cookies. But we plan to soon. I think we will. We need to use the left over pumpkin from making pumpkin pie. We made good pumpkin pie. Mom said “I am going to make pizza. I am going to put pumpkin sauce on it.” The part about the pumpkin sauce was a joke. She really is going to make pizza. She is going to make pizza for dinner. This all happened in the afternoon.

Lily wrote the paragraph above while I was making the pizza, because I realized that I still needed a post for today! Didn’t she do a great job?

Have a wonderful Saturday night, and I’ll be back tomorrow with a new blog post!
