The girls are a little wild when they get home from school. Apparently there's a lot of pent up energy just waiting to come busting out the minute they get in the door. The volume of their chatter is unbelievable, they're tripping over their words to tell their stories about who got in the thinking chair in their classrooms that day (mostly the boys so far). They race around the house from one thing to another and remind me of the pinballs when you hit the right targets and get the "multiball" bonus. Their moods flare from giddy to angry to tears at the drop of a hat. It makes my head spin just trying to follow it all never mind manage it or control a single thing!!!
The bus is still running a bit late. They're supposed to be home around 2:30 but it was around 3:30 a few days but the last few have been closer to 3pm so it looks like it's getting better. When they get home they are usually hungry & thirsty. I think they miss their toys and stuff now that they're not home as much because they just start playing when they get here and haven't asked for tv since school started (except on the weekend).
On Wednesday afternoon, they got on their dresses and pretended to be Cinderella doing chores in the house. They told me I could have the day off, take some vacation and relax while they did the cleaning. If it sounds too good to be true....
I went to check email and the cleaning got out of hand! There was water everywhere but they enjoyed themselves, worked together and didn't have any fights!
Anyone interested in hiring my cleaning crew, they work for beans :) but you get what you pay for!!!!!!!
