  4. I can completely relate to the egg picture, and wish our "accident" was just eggs. We have a bar height kitchen table, and my little one thought she would pull the place mat off the table after dinner one night. Only problem my glass of water was still on the place mat. One less glass in the cabinet now... Everyone came through safe and sound though!

  7. Your picture is too funny! Of course, I didnt have to clean it up. It really helps so much to have a plan. I use a few curriculums to give me a base and then run in my own direction. I am looking forward to your school posts.

    Great idea to sit down & plan out your future weeks. I really should try to find the time & motivation to do that.
