Isla's Wednesdays away from school have gotten into a rhythm, which is pretty rad. We wake up in the morning, do a couple chores, then head out to get breakfast at the coffee shop. Isla gets a bagel & cream cheese or a muffin and some hot chocolate, and Miles throws shit on the floor. But it's still cool just to hang out with my kids at a coffee shop on a Wednesday morning. Then we walk over to the park and play for a while, go to the library and check out some new books and it's back home so Miles can nap. Usually, this is where the day breaks down, because it's as far as I plan. However, today Zia came over before Miles woke up for his nap - the girls played for a bit, then when he woke up, we decided to go to the rocketship park. (check earlier entries for verification).
At the park, the girls were occupied from 1:00 to 3:30, playing a game where they each took turns being different kinds of fairy, then gathering whatever supplies a fairy of this genre would need for a party. For example, Isla started as the grass fairy, so she made a big pile of grass. At first Zia allowed herself to be ordered into a fairy class, and ended up the "sand fairy," so she sat despondent in the sandbox until she realized she could make the rules as well, and ended up being a leaf fairy, then gathering huge Maple leaves until there was a big enough pile. I was the dirt fairy, the litter fairy, and in my lowest moment, the dog poop and diaper fairy. I guess I had to take one for the team.
