Happy Feet is playing on the DVD player even though no one is really watching it; it’s mostly there so that the kids can stop what they’re doing and then run over to dance along when the penguins do.

Hayley is making a card for one of her new friends in the other Kindergarten class and has gotten glue and eight metric tons of gold, silver, and green glitter all over my tablecloth. Which is vinyl so it can be cleaned, but glitter takes three weeks to fully clean up, and of course she’s doing her artwork at my spot at the table so that I get to be the one to ingest it with my food.

Breanna has a blue tongue because she grabbed one of Hayley’s ink stamps and licked it. Now she’s running around the living room with her blue tongue sticking out, waving a Dora purse stuffed with random toys over her head and stomping her feet in time to the music.

George is trying to catch up on some sleep since he played last night and only got a few hours of sleep before Hayley woke him up.

I’m trying to ingest some caffeine and haven’t gotten out of my pajamas yet. I slapped out a bit of work and have to do a bit more later but I really just want to go curl up on the couch with a thick blanket and a good book. And some SILENCE which will not come until about 8:30 tonight if I’m lucky.

Welcome to Saturday in our home.
