President's Day

So...today I spent the day at home with the boys. Jamma went to work. It was the first time in a long time that we didn't have a professional day at school on President's Day. Well...I had big plans. Big ones. We were going to go to the mall and do some President's Day shopping. We were going to go to a 10:15 movie. We missed it and thought that we could go to the 12:30 one. Well...we read books, played games, wrote some books and laid on the couch watching movies. We ordered pizza and then made some brownies. After doing that, we missed the 12:30 movie. I then thought that we would hit the 2:30 movie...but after playing games on the computer and just hanging out...we missed that movie as well. My next goal was to have us out of our pj's by the time Jamma got home from work at 5:30. We missed that goal as well. Riley and Aiden asked if I had to go back to work tomorrow and I said, "Yes". What a bummer.

As Jamma was trying to get them ready for bed, they were hanging out with me...yelling out numbers. I guess it sounded educational to him, but after listening to us for a little bit...he came into the living room and asked if I was teaching them KENO. Riley said, "Yes". There isn't anything wrong with that is there? After all...I let them pick the numbers...and they had to watch the numbers that got selected from the pot! I was teaching them number recognition from 1-80. They also learned about probability. Out of 20 numbers selected...and 80 numbers to land on...they hoped that the 10 that they picked were good choices. We selected numbers based on their age...the year they were born...their birthday's, etc. So...I guess we talked about lucky numbers too! I'm all about teaching my kids! It was a fun day!
