Chris needing to be at a location in the afternoon and into the evening today so he was home this morning. I ran out to Target and the grocery store while he held down the homestead. After he left Tabitha and Daisy played together most of the day. At one point, Tabitha built a tower of blocks and Daisy leaned in like she was going to knock it over. But just before her hand touched the top block, she broke into hysterical laughter which made Tabitha laugh loudly and then, well, I think you can see where this is going. Seeing them laugh and play together despite being so many years apart is just the sweetest thing. They both have such adoration for the other, I dearly hope it can continue.

Tabitha and I started lessons during Daisy's afternoon nap. I say started because she did not sleep the length of time as is normal and then woke up cranky so Tabitha and I did not get as much done as usual. We are trying a new spelling program right now. The website has the first week's lesson online so you can try before you buy. I definitely think it has a chance of working, but only time will tell.

After dinner the girls and I went outside for a bit but it was cold! Daisy played on the rug while Tabitha and I played catch with a beach ball. After twenty minutes or so I admitted to wimpiness and said it was too darn cold so we all went in. Tabitha and Daisy played for another long time before Daisy's bedtime. I let Tabitha read in her bed until Chris got home so she could see him, I knew she would sleep better that way.

Tomorrow is a birthday party and we're supposed to go to a beach party with the halau, but something in the news caught my attention and now I don't think I want to go to this particular beach. We'll see.
