One of the first things she did this morning was make her own recycling bins. They each have a sign for which recyclables go in them (which is kinda weird, because all our recyclables get thrown together).

We went to the grocery stores. Every week she gets to pick one thing to buy for herself that I don't usually buy. Usually she picks cereal or pretzels or fancy fresh smoothie juice, but today she picked sushi. And she ate it all up for lunch and loved it. She also volunteered to sweep the garage when we got home? I think she just wanted to use the tiny, tiny broom that came with the garage.

In the car on the way home she was asking about time and clocks. "How many minutes are in an hour?" I answered and explained about the 12 numbers and the 5 minute increments and everything. "How many seconds are in a minute?" I answered. "And how many moments are in a second?" :-)

Painting:

 

[I try to take very sneaky photos of her doing things, because if she knows I'm taking a photo, she gets distracted and does very cheesy poses!] 

[Sun, stars, cloud, moon, crayon, wand, and a basketball]

As a result of that math book we were reading a little while ago, she was reading this grocery store flyer:

and said that cheese pizza was "five to the ninety-nine power dollars each!"

She spent some time reading her Amelia Bedelia book. Then after dinner, she drew these:

 

She explained what all of it means. It's like hieroglyphics, seriously. It's a list of my chores, like Amelia Bedelia always has. I wish I could type out everything contained on these papers. I think my favorite is the drawing of the hand holding a tin can, next to a table, next to a poor person. "You can tell the person is poor because these dots are like... the things that come out of your face when you're sad?" "Tears?" "Yeah! The dots are their tears."  

Pretty much I feel like I just spent all day making these faces:

 

And then I read her another chapter of Amelia Bedelia before bed.
