    Just helped DD2 make a humpty dumpty for homework - how do teachers expect a 4 year old to do this without assistance? Scissors, glue, fabric, pipe cleaners, eggs - not very child freindly.

    She should have done this - Humpty after the fall :rotfl:

    That's lovely news! How special to get together on Valentines day! No chance of either of either of you forgetting.

    Triker - That sounds nasty and very similar to DS3's injury. The doctor told him not to do indoor PE and I hope you heed that advice! Comfy shoes are going to be a must!


    Kids eating dinner - lots of slurping of spag bol. I hope their napkins stay put as the sauce is impossible to get off of white shirts.

    Kitchen is looking better. I will post my list later...

    My kids used to take their shirts off,:eek:
    they said it was easier to wash themselves than to worry about me worrying about their shirts.:rotfl:

    Dejunk window sills, dust blinds and wash windows!

    Dailies all done, plus some phone calls that I'd been putting off. One in particular I've been putting off for weeks, but that's all sorted now and it's never as bad as you think it will be, is it?

    Didn't get as much done off the list today as I'd hoped, but I wouldn't have done any of it without this thread. Just knowing you are all out there doing this as well gives me motivation. :j Hopefully I will get the floor mopped tonight.

    Have a good evening everyone. :)
