- made apple pancakes
- gotten dressed/showered
- drank market spice tea while looking for a good online story about St. Patrick's Day (no luck)
- printed out shamrock coloring pages
- caught up on dishes/let Hazel watch an old Winnie the Pooh cartoon while I did said dishes and Klaas "napped"
- catching up on laundry that was neglected during our move a week and a half ago
- thought more about curtain-making
- played legos with Klaas
- read part of Charlotte's Web and an Olivia book with Hazel
- sword/spoon fought with the kids
- surfed for knit dress patterns to make Hazel a St. Patrick's Day dress out of some orange polka dot jersey I found at the thrift store (yes, orange. I am honoring my grandmother who was very stubborn and clear that one should wear orange on St. Patrick's Day since one is Protestant, not Catholic)
- remembered that I also want to make Klaas an Irish flag shirt
- thought about the menu for our feast on Saturday and maybe making a
fun appetizer and the fact I need to find a recipe for Guinness frosting
for our Guinness brownies
- started thinking that we're having someone else over for dinner Friday and I need to clean more today and unpack more boxes
- listened to the kids play hide and seek in their closet
- thought that maybe we should all watch Darby O'Gill and the Little People this week
- let the kids paint some pictures
- disciplined for throwing things/saying no/having attitude
- It's only 12:37pm.
(It should be noted that a lot of these activities were being worked on at the same time as other ones.)
