List of things we did yesterday:
- We got up and had breakfasts, etc.
- Juno and Freyja did their math, spelling/phonics
- Juno read a book called The Shrinking of Treehorn by Florence Perry Heidi
- The girls took showers.
- After lunch, we went to Keene again to take Juno to the last Harmonica class at Keene Public Library
- We went to Michael's again to get a couple more boxes, because (are you reading this Kim?) we decided to wait to make them until our friends come down for a visit to do some crafting next Monday.
- We went home and had dinner and then found out that the little girl who was over for Kosho yesterday, was found to have lice the next morning!!
- All the female grownups in the house (my housemate and I) freaked out because we knew we were the ones who would have to do all the defensive work to make sure that we don't all (a house containing 9 persons) get lice.
- I started by washing my children (again) and blow-drying their hair. I then sat them at my table to draw. The housemates' children went to bed.
- Freyja decided she wanted to get a jump start on her math and spelling for the next day, so she did some time worksheets, phonics worksheets, and a spelling worksheet. Juno thought about it, but decided to wait until today to do her work for today.
- Then, I got busy taking all the pillows, blankets, sheets, etc. off our beds so I could pop them into the dryer for killing anything that might be on them. I don't know if there was anything, but it makes me feel better to make sure. The sheets and pillowcases needed washing anyhow, so they got set aside for washing today.
- So, finally I got all the blankets and pillows toasted up and back on the girls' beds and put them to bed. We watched The Guild: Season 4 and Star Trek: Enterprise episode 5 on Netflix, and I kept tossing blankets and pillows from around the house into the dryer.
- Then, I finally got to go to bed where I probably should have been the whole time, recuperating from whatever sickness it is that I have.
- I should probably point out that all heads were checked and no one seemed to have any lice. Heh.
So, that was the excitement of yesterday. On to today's mischief.
Today, Juno has finished her math and is working on her spelling and has also been writing a letter to her friend, Destinee, whom she met in Harmonica Class. They really met a long time ago when they were all very little, but us moms never quite got it together to meet up for play-dates. We just kept running into each other randomly for years. Well, we have the address now, and Juno has written a long, illustrated letter to Destinee, complete with a comic strip. She made a hand made envelope and addressed and stamped it. Then she went and put it out for the letter carrier to pick up. She needs to get back to her other pen-pals also. They are probably looking for letters as well. 
Freyja has spent the morning playing the XBox 360 Kinect. She was playing Kinect Adventures games at first, and then moved on to her Kinectimals game. So, she has gotten a lot of exercise this morning. This is why she wanted to do extra work yesterday; she wanted to play around this morning.
Juno read the book ...If You Lived in Colonial Times by Ann McGovern, this morning. I plan to read this to Freyja later on today.
Now it is lunchtime! Juno is making peanut butter and jam sandwiches for herself and Freyja. They had some orange juice too, although I did mean to have them eat cucumbers. I was so busy washing laundry, I forgot...
Later, they played together with our housemates' enormous tinker-toys.
And then they did some audio recording for fun. Telling stories and making silly noises. You know.
Juno and Freyja read a book together later on. Freyja did most of the reading. Juno helped her if she did not know a word. The book is called Postcards from Russia by Helen Arnold.
It is almost time for dinner, and after that, I have plans to read more from Howl's Moving Castle to the girls for bedtime.
Catch you on the flip-side!
