back to school!

well, i guess all good things must end. nina's back as school, and maggie and i had to deal with missing her all day. :-( worse, we had to deal with getting up at 6:30 in the morning again! i think all 3 of us were sleepy today. well, maggie fell asleep nice and early tonight, but nina had a headache and was still coughing, so it took her longer (about 8:00). hopefully that'll be enough for her to wake up refreshed tomorrow.

maggie and i had a mellow day. we made some yellow playdough, played with that, visited with her friend Hattie for a bit, picked up nina and the girl i tutor at school, came home, and i tutored while the girls played with the playdough. maggie was pretty calm and even-tempered, and nina was really quiet because she was so tired. oh, and maggie doesn't drop the f-bomb on us anymore. she says "fudge" and "fudging" instead. she came up with this substitution on her own. i'm so proud of her?
