Wednesday was fairly normal around here. Wednesday is a Grammy day, so we only had to get the two older girls up and out the door this morning. I was thankful too. Emma didn't feel good this morning. She felt warm, but she wasn't running a temp. The whole time that we were getting ready, she just laid on the bed. That is VERY unusual. That's how I knew she must really not feel well. Mom said that she perked up later that morning, so who knows what was going on.
Laura practiced her math facts this morning before we left for school this morning. She has timed math tests on Wednesdays. She has to do 25 problems in 2 minutes. This has been a struggle for her this year. So we have been trying to lots of extra practicing using various methods.

The work day was typical. Nothing new to report there. I changed out my picture of Emma at my desk. We got her school pictures back yesterday. I always love pulling out all of the old pictures in the back of the frame. I can't believe how much she grows each year! My baby is getting big :(
Matt picked me up from work today, and we got the kids from after school care. Traffic was terrible - because it's raining in Columbus. Heaven forbid there is any precipitation! Anyway we got home a few minutes later, and mom had squash ready for dinner! This is one of Laura's favorite meals. My dad grew some of the squash. They were delicious. My mom halves them and then bakes them in the oven. Then she brown's hamburger with peppers and onions, and we eat that over the squash. So good!!!

Emma was her normal difficult toddler at dinner time. I keep waiting for the fighting to end at dinner. I was definitely not fighting with the older two at this age every. single. night. The only time we don't fight with Emma at dinner is if we are having spaghetti or mac and cheese. So maybe we should just have that every night! Just kidding.
Then began the rig-a-ma-roll of the rest of the evening. Homework, lunches, piano, etc. Matt did lunches tonight, and he helped Hannah with piano, while I helped Laura with homework. So that expedites the evening a little. The kids had about 20 minutes of free time before bedtime. We have recently stopped allowing them screen time during the week. Normally they would each grab a screen for those 20 minutes. But instead Hannah and Emma are involved in some pretend play, and Laura is drawing a creating a book on a notepad. Much better use of their time! Don't you think?
Another day in the books. Only two more days till the weekend!
