That is a misleading title, the following things don't really happen every day, and as to 'this crazy life' always debatable, maybe its just me that is crazy and the life that goes on around me is subdued and mundane....probably a mix of both, and that is how our God made it. No status quo around here....
Many weeks ago, it was time for the school 'fall outing' for each class. With three kids now in elementary school, this meant three places, three drop offs, three pick-ups....because of traffic I spent almost two hours in the car that day, even though the distance to the farthest place was not even 7 miles away.
Sophia is in there somewhere with the girls from her class. She has grown up with these girls (they stay in the same class all the way through 6th grade in China).
Isabella had her outing too, but ended up going on a playdate with a friend, and David was in charge of her drop-off...so no pics!
But here is one just for cuteness. When Poppy and CC bought these dresses a few years ago I asked where mine was...I loved them so much. And look....little G is growing in, growing up. And even though she is a little tike, I still just removed all the 3t clothes from her closet and put in the 4t! (this was mainly because the 4t box was taking up my space!)
The kiddos all worked together on this Fusion fort, lincoln logs, legos, soldiers, robots, transformers, maybe a superhero or two. This was a really spectacular design with mutual effort. They had lots of detail as to how things worked. I was so impressed I let it sit in the middle of the living room floor for many days.
Kids all about making money...this was with smoothie drinks and candy (because Sophia bought a candy toy dispenser while in Thailand). They actually did make a bit of money and had a great time doing this. They paid Tobin for his labor (he helped carry the table, etc.)
Speaking of Tobin...positive peer pressure, right after class while his classmates waited on parents, they started their math homework, so Tobin got in the mix and did his too. His first semester is starting to wind down. And the teachers are going super fast because they have to finish the book in time for review. Not to mention that the pinyin system of reading Chinese has different sounds for the letters and mastering them is difficult when he just solidified all the English Phonics rules and sounds just this year. He is a trooper though, like every Coker kid before him!
