Between the four of us, we tried to bust out our home to make sure it's organized and clean enough for guests. In tight quarters, that ends up making a noticable difference!
Other than that:
*Yesterday, I filled in for the owner at Butterfly Life 8am-1pm
*Mick took the kids to the art class at the DeYoung Museum. Fashion and the Vivienne Westwood exhibit were the focus this time. After the interactive (age-appropriate) lecture, they drew a shoe shape around a foot/calf drawing -- Dane, a roller skate; Aubs, a HIGH heeled boot -- and then decorated it with various materials like tissue squares, jewels, laces. Westwood once said, "You have a much better life if you wear impressive clothes," so at the class the kids were encouraged to bring their own aesthetic to the wardrobe item.
*Today, other than cleaning house, we got the van buffed out (interior/exterior) -- the kids were VERY excited about this.
*We recycled bottles, cans, and plastic to earn $5.43! We spent half of it at Starbucks for kids' chocolate milks and then banked the other half. (Our money training is pretty haphazard. Now that the kids are interested in recycling, and now that they're starting to understand currency better, we're going to have to have a bit of a plan for teaching them how to manage it.)
*I took a couple good walks.
*Dane and Mick took a long bike ride, using the trail-a-bike.
*The fam's watching "Chicken Little," a pretty hilarious animated film.
