Castle Progress

I miss my family! Today, Anthony and I didn't get home until 6:30pm. It was just like yesterday except that today, only Alex was at home. Patrick had taken Natalie to swimming practice and with no one to baby-sit Eric, he took Eric along and put him in the gym childcare area. When he got home around 7pm, everyone was super hungry. Natalie had eaten a PB&J before swimming practice, but when she saw that Alex was making frozen pizza, she got hungry again. Eric had eaten too, but he also wanted pizza when he got home.

Patrick has been working hard on Alex's project. Alex designed the castle and measured out the parts, but Patrick has been the one cutting out the parts and gluing them together. This is a picture of Eric watching Patrick gluing the castle together. He was completely fascinated and luckily he was just watching instead of "helping". It was funny because, at one point, the glue that Patrick was using made a squirting sound. Eric laughed and said, "The glue tooted." He's such a boy! :)

Alex had lots of other homework to do, which is why he wasn't doing all the gluing. His teachers are all supposed to work together, so why do they give so much homework knowing that there's a big project due on Thursday? Patrick and I still think the school is good, but if the projects are this much work, we hope Natalie doesn't end up going there like she says she wants to. On the plus side, we're getting some bonding time with Alex--maybe?
