As long as she is dressed it really doesn't matter if she wears her Curious George t-shirt with plaid shorts. Or in Thursday's case her white onsies that she slept in, a shirt 3 sizes too big for her, her bathing suit top that was 1/2 way on, and my t-shirt over all that.
It's a good thing that a serving size of Gerber Puffs is between 60-80 pieces and that is only 25 calories. Allison decided to be generous and share half a jar of puffs. At least I was able to do the dishes.
The other week Amelia wanted to sit by the door and look outside. However a storm with lightning was starting, so I didn't want her sitting by the metal screen door (I'm such a good mom, aren't I?). So I put the kids in their booster seats and let them watch the rainstorm.
The storm didn't hold their attention for too long, but Dora kept them quiet for a while.
Sometimes in order to eat lunch, you have to multi-task.
Sometimes you just have to keep the kids contained so that you can clean.
Sometimes in order to clean up you have to create a mess. I switched all their toys to different toy boxes so I brought them all out in the living room so I could clean them up. Amelia was having fun with all the toys.
In order to keep Allison out of trouble while I tried cleaning the house, I created a fort for her. It didn't hurt that the fort was in front of the TV.
