Practical life and school organization all in one

I happened to find a book shelf that was formerly in a used book store. The wood was good, but it wasn't all that stable and the baseboard caused a gap between the shelf and the wall. So I decided to turn it into a book case. I added a simple, though not pretty, hardboard back using my electric stapler. Since some of the staples were still a little raised, I decided to call in some help.



More soon!

While the baby naps...

we usually do an art project - embarrassingly simple ones - and then have some sort of quiet time.
Today, however, we are having a Practical Life lesson. Apparently, I have become the "Step-Mother" to 2 Cinderellas who are scrubbing the floor. They love "playing" in the water, squishing the sponges in different ways, and even the scrubbing action! Dried up green bean "skin" from the baby's dinner last night? "Watch me make it misappear!"
GR just poked her head up over the dining table where I'm sitting and said, "I'm almost done Step-Mother. Hey! Puters are not in Cinderwedda's story!" Oops, guess I'd better go!
