I sometimes think that these blog postings have to be earth-shattering and profound, but I realize the normal days are just as interesting as the unique ones. So, here we go, a recap of a normal Monday with the Clarks (and yes, I realize today is Tuesday - I have not gotten the run down from the girls on their school activities for today, so yesterday is as real as I can get).
Emma got a woodchip in her eye at school. They called me saying Emma would not let them look at it, that she was crying a lot, and could I come to take a look? I frantically left work, but in my mind was thinking "Ha, if they think for one moment that I will have any more influence to get Emma to open her eye, they must be fooling themselves! She is the most stubborn little girl I know". She was fine when I got there - no woodchip, just a Nemo ice patch and a laughing little girl.
Lauren and Emma learned about a volcano and colored the flag of Hawaii. I asked Lauren where a volcano was and she said they were in the ocean, then came up and exploded. Emma said her teacher made a volcano and bubbles came out all over the tray.
The girls came home and it was so nice out they played in the backyard...all by themselves. I mean, what harm can happen in an enclosed space?!? They decided to turn the sandbox lid into a pretend pool, and the sand in the lid was now turned to water. Lauren poured "water" all over Emma - ugh. It wasn't even supposed to be a hair-washing day in the bath.
We played Monopolytown (a young child version of Monopoly). I still should not be allowed to play this game - I take it too seriously :-)
Off to bed and there ends the day in the Clark house.

i should have won that game. I think you cheated. -Bill
A wood chip in the eye is much more serious than a styrofoam ball in the ear...
