An accountable tortoise

 
« Back to blog

Only two weeks of school left.

  • Lily ate a whole slice of pizza and many slices of watermelon in one sitting (yes, we had to clean her shirt afterward),
  • Elsie started lying to her mother (I think this is actually developmental progress and that she'll stop later),
  • Timmy started an insect club at school and they have adopted an anthill which they care for by giving bits of food and protecting it with nice portions of trash,
  • When the 1st graders started ruining the work that Timmy and his friends did on the ant hill, Abby gathered together a large posse of girls and they chased off the first graders (we know several of these girls from soccer--they aren't the kind an intelligent 1st grader would have wanted to mess with),
  • Kate has been working her own way through her piano books,
  • Gina worked through our 72 hour kits to restock on the parts that are out of date, and
  • I struggled to sleep a few nights because it was just too hot.
