On Wednesday afternoon, the kids got home an hour early.
They enjoyed sitting around with us and talking. A few of the kids decided that
they wanted to braid my hair. I was fine with two of the girls working on my
hair, but then a few younger kids (including one of the little boys) joined the
group. I sat quietly, closing my eyes to endure the pokes, prods, and tugs that
were being dealt to my head. Thankfully, Mama Nestory walked by and sent the
youngest 2 kids away. My head isn’t tough enough to handle 4 kids under the age
of 10!
Tonight, the older girls were goofing off and imitating our
walks. Apparently, I walk like a hunchback, Beth walks with a skip in her step,
and Karen strides. Later, when I walked the girls to their house, Beth and I
tried out some of their imitations. They thought our attempts were pretty
hilarious—of course, so were theirs! They’re not the best imitators, it would
seem!
Karen and I were able to work out a schedule for the week
the kids have off of school. We’ve been working on pulling out worksheets for
each session and deciding what needs to be photocopied. It’s nice to feel like
we’re on track to be ready when the vacation week begins!
