Responsibilities

Tonight when I got home, Allie greeted me at the door with this sentence. "Mom! We have 8 things to do tonight!" She started reciting them as she stood in the doorway from the garage to the house, ignoring the fact that it's still only 10 degrees out and Julia was waiting behind her to hug me hello too.

Tonight, we were supposed to eat dinner, get Allie's homework done, finish decorating her Valentine's Day card box for school, do her valentines for all of her classmates, give her and her sister a bath, read her library books, study the words for her spelling test tomorrow, and count out 100 pennies for the math she's going to do that's associated with the 100th day of school.

We got six done. I guess she's going to have to rely on the same method her parents used in college for the spelling test--cramming!
