Saturday Carina and I spent the afternoon together running errands. It was one of those great mommy/daughter normal-nothing-special special days. We hit the library and she played on the computer while I grabbed some books to go along with her school title that we are finishing this week. I grabbed a few other fun things...more on that later.
Then we hit WalMart to get her glasses fixed (lost a screw, so she was half blind for a day) and I decided we needed more fun family games so we picked up Cootie and Chutes and Ladders for the Littles and Scrabble, Connect 4 and Skip Bo for the Bigs...plus bubbles and sidewalk chalk!
Then, our big adventure to Byerlys. We had to go find and purchase mussels as part of our school theme. Our book, The Very Last First Time, is about an Inuit girl who walks on the bottom of the sea to collect mussels, so we agreed to give them a try. Carina found them successfully and we ordered up 10. We gave them a try after dinner. Definitely NOT a hit, but everyone (except Killian...big shock) tried them. I was so proud of them!!
That night we played all the games, except Skip Bo, and it was a really great family day :o). Today we are getting about a foot of snow *boo hiss*, so we'll study Inuit culture since it's fitting for today and get some chores done before shoveling the driveway. Have a great Monday!!
