Lunch at school and a field trip

This morning I had breakfast with Kaitlyn and Max, who decided to be ultra proper and eat his doughnut with a fork. (Nathan's traditional homecoming treat last night was a dozen Krispy Kremes.) Ali had already gone off to school.

Max did have a little spill, but much more contained than yesterday. And for the rest of the day, he did really well.


After breakfast it was time for the beating of a lifetime and silly kisses.





Later Max pretended to give Kaitlyn a ride in the truck.


We surprised Ali by joining her for lunch at school.








Max and Kaitlyn suited up for some heavy duty work.



While Ali was at school and Max was sleeping, Megan, Kaitlyn and I went on a field trip to the zoo. Kate enjoyed the dolphin show and the playground the most. My favorite was the East African Gaboon viper.





Ali did a great job sweeping up after dinner. Then she and Kaitlyn tackled their enormous closet while Max took his baby for a walk in Ali's tap shoes. Kate is showing off her new clothes for preschool.





We finished off the day with Prayer Scripture Prayer. Because it was so late, we each recited an Article of Faith instead, then Nathan told the girls the story of Noah. Kaitlyn repeated the 4th and Ali the 9th Article of Faith. "Impressive!" as Kaitlyn loves to say.
