Cheap Entertainment

This week Izabella started her Kindergarten Academy. Just the kindergartners at her elementary school attend for 3 hours so they can get used to the routine of things before the rest of the kids start attending.

Thanks to the lazy nature of summer vacation my kids are not used to waking up at 7:30 am and getting ready to get out the door. If it wasn't for the fact that we have a great group of neighborhood friends to walk with, I doubt we'd ever make it on time.

Here's a pic of the gang walking to school together:


The younger two kids have been lacking entertainment now that Izzie has been gone for a few hours each day.

Spencer regularly requests to watch tv to which he knows "mommy says no movies!"

Today I told him I had something better to watch, the laundry! Thank goodness for front loader washing machines and dryers.

Spencer helped me move the laundry and push the buttons. Lucie just think that the dryer is hilarious. I think it took up at least an hour of this mornings time.

Here's a clip of them watching the riveting entertainment:

Who knows what I'll come up with to keep them busy tomorrow.... Maybe we can do the dishes together?

The kids are so cute :D Seriously though... no TV? I understand why, but that dryer and washer will last only so long. What other things do these kids do? I'm interested.

I'm too tired to come up with anything witty to say. Just wanted to let you know I stopped by and loved reading about your adventures! You always crack me up with your cute and crazy family. If you are ever in our neck of the woods, we have big front loaders. The kids can hang out in the laundry room and we can chat. :o)
