Monday saw the start of a new week as it always does. This time it coincided with the first week of the month. That means MOPs for  Heather. The kids did great for the evening. Gideon picked Miles From Tomorrowland for a show.
After that we read Bedwetting and Accidents Aren’t Your Fault for Gideon and If You Give a Moose a Muffin for Cecilia. Being only the three of us we read stories together so they would both get two.

Tuesday had nothing really special going on, except snow. It was almost a strange sight we’re so far behind this year. Gideon wanted to play at a park in the snow on the way home. Cecilia had already been dropped off at home and had no interest in going elsewhere. After dinner she chose Fireman Sam for the nighttime show.
Heather ended up reading both kids Gideon’s latest class book.
I read Gideon the Bedwetting book and Cecilia has me read her How do Dinosaurs Eat Cookies.

Wednesday saw the sun shining again. Heather started to get her and Gideon packed for a short trip. I helped Gideon finish his homework for the night and Cecilia made another one of her “bunny capes.” These are basically a bunch of sheets of paper glued together end to end. Some will have a little bit of art on them, but that appears optional. After breakfast for dinner Gideon chose to watch Fireman Sam.
Cecilia had Heather and I both read from the Disney Christmas Collection. I read the Dumbo story and I think Heather read the Winnie the Pooh one.
Gideon wanted the Bedwetting book again. This time Heather read the first two chapters and I read the second two.

Thursday Cecilia’s class at preschool had a family night. The kids in her class have been acting stories and songs out together since their current teacher got back at the end of the summer. The preschool’s  teaching method allows the interests of the class to guide their curriculum. This resulted in the kids, aged 4 to 5.5, to put on a play for us. Actually, two plays. One based on the book Snowmen at Night and the other based on a jazz/blues version of The Three Little Pigs. One of the most surprising things was how little prompting the kids needed during the plays. In fact, they needed close to none. It was a really good show. Cecilia picked a show to watch at home, but I actually don’t remember what.
Heather read Cecilia The Penguin Who Wanted to Fly while I read her Snowmen at Christmas.
Gideon had us both read him Georgie the Gingerbread Fairy.

Friday was the day we dropped Heather and Gideon at the airport. We left right after getting the kids and were a little behind since I didn’t get out of work early. Cecilia had a rough go saying bye to Heather, but was fine 15 minutes down the road. It took long enough for her to calm down to talking levels that we ended up braving rush hour (which was light) past home and having a late dinner together at Chili’s. When we finally got home Cecilia picked Fireman Sam. I told her one episode and two stories, but then she bargained for two episodes and one story. The story was Fly Guy Meets Fly Girl.

Saturday Cecilia woke me up to the surprise of nobody. I had her watch one Disney Junior show while I dozed/woke up slowly. We had a pretty normal Saturday. Breakfast, Home Depot first Saturday, a little bit of errand running, church, another store stop due to running out of time before church, and a late dinner combined with a show. We watched Henry Hugglemonster and read three chapters in Blondie.

Sunday we stayed home. We did go for an afternoon walk since it was so nice out. Other than that we played some board games. Cecilia did some art projects as well. She picked Mike the Night for a bedtime show. For story time we read two more Fly Guys.
