Happy St. Patrick's Day everyone. Today was Nick's first day back at work. Which meant that I had to get Ellie to school while caring for Cal (and myself). Fortunately Grandma Pam hung around for the morning to help make sure things happened smoothly. However, Nick got a little jolt this morning when he experienced a 4.4M earthquake which was centered in Westwood which actually happened during his show (producers and anchors ducking and covering on air!). We did not feel the quake here in Pasadena (well it didn't wake any of us up).
And we made it to school on time!
Ellie has been asking to start a sticker chart because she is coveting the Playmobil school or hotel (depending on the day). So we set up a sticker chart last night. She has to accomplish 5 different tasks each morning by herself to earn a sticker each day. Her tasks include 1) going potty 2) getting dressed (we will set out clothes the night before) 3) eat breakfast (that mommy makes) 4) brush her teeth and 5) put on her shoes and socks. Today she kept checking her task list and accomplished all 5 tasks. No arguments about shoes or socks.
We shall see how tomorrow goes without Grandma Pam to help move things smoothly.
Ellie was excited to go to school today for St. Patrick's Day. She wore a green dress with flowers because you can wear green, but only if you want to. But also her friend and her sisters will be coming to school to do an Irish dancing showcase (hopefully with full costume and hair!). Last Friday the class made Irish Soda Bread which Ellie really really enjoyed and put her in a baking mood during the weekend.
And a picture if Ellie ready for school with her brother.
And a photo of her brother recovering from the trip of taking Ellie to school. Apparently he loves the car seat and has been sleeping in it since we got home. I don't wake sleeping babies if I don't have to.
