Day 9

Yesterday we went to bed earlier than usual so I forgot all about writing about our day. I spent a lot of my morning selling diapers online, so the kids did a lot of running through the house screaming and playing, and Alyssa also sat on the couch reading to Alton for quite a while. After lunch I had a few errands to run (which turned in to a lesson on cloth with the mail lady), and I left the kids home with Alan. They spent their time pretending it was raining in the hallway with the umbrellas I bought for Alyssa's rainbow party coming up in August. When I got home we finally played that game of Candyland I promised days ago! We also played another of my old childhood favorites, Cooties. It was the first time they had played Cooties, and we had a lot of fun. Laikon spent the entire time nursing, so I got tired of sitting in the floor pretty quick. We had pork chops, squash, mashed potatoes, and rolls for supper. Then we read some more of our library books and got the kids ready for bed.
