Activity Days and a Spork Explanation

I have thrown my back out again. Again!

I'm so irritated.

I overdid it on Tuesday, doing stuff that the pregnant me really struggles with. Stuff like vacuuming the car and mopping the floor.

I did too much and woke up Wednesday morning with pain down my left leg that has just gotten progressively worse. Same as before. Same as always.

So. so. irritating.

Today at activity days we had 3 more girls than I was expecting. I knew I should have made extra books just in case... but I didn't, so I was scrambling while the girls were here to get them put together. I was out of shoe boxes so I used cereal boxes instead. Some of the girls thought I was a little crazy. "Why are you cutting up all your cereal boxes you nut?"

I think the activity went well despite the last minute box cutting but I'm so glad that I didn't try to teach the girls how to stitch their own pages together. That would have been too much. We had 13 kids here and it got pretty chaotic especially since some of the girls didn't know how to use a glue gun.

Brook and Mia were SO helpful with that part and I was SO glad that they were willing to help the other girls even though it meant that they couldn't make their own books.

Mason was being a stink pretty much the whole time. He kept running around like a maniac with his spiderman headphones on and climbing on furniture. It's a good thing he's such a good kid the majority of the time because that sort of makes up for his little shenanigans. Last night he told me all about why a spork is called a spork. Not sure if the video upload worked or not, but we shall see.
