Playground Fun

I had an appointment with Alex's teacher this morning. We woke up this morning, fast breakfast, fast showers (for my kids), fast fastening of seatbelts to get him to school the first time. Then a fast race back to the van, playing fast race cars once we're home, race to see who can put on their shoes the fastest to go back to school half and hour after we got home.
At school the kids looked at books and played with some ABC's cards I'd brought. When my meeting was done we played a game of "nanner nanner nanner, you can't catch me" with the kids chasing me and each other on the playground of Alex's school. We played 45 minutes until the big kids came out to recess.
Right now the kids are just finishing up their robot mural and then we'll be off to pick Alex up. When we get home we're going to pull out all the robots and play until it's time to make lunch and watch baby signing time.
I've got a special treat for the kids after lunch today. My sister brought me some Halloween treats I know they'll enjoy!
