Helpful Kids

So today Izarra didn't want to go to school. She said she was too tired to go to school. So I told her she can stay home tomorrow so she can rest, lol. She agreed and unwillingly got ready for school. Frank dropped her off while I made breakfast for Anthony. After Anthony ate we needed to go to the storage to find something.

We ended up not needing it but I did grab some of Izarra's books out from storage. We are short on books for bedtime, so when I seen them I knew to grab them and bring them home. Anthony saw her old dog toy and wanted it so of course I gave it to him and told him ,"doggie needs a bath." and he got super excited and yelled, "Bath Time!" Later it was time to pick Izarra up from school so off we went. She said she had fun and learned all kinds of stuff. Apparently they have apples everyday at lunch.

Getting the books and dog off the car.

Using her little muscles!

Got home, made Anthony some lunch. Izarra ate at school right before she comes home. We let the kids play outside for about an hour and a half. Anthony and I checked the mail and we got a lot of mail today. I forgot to take his picture carrying the little boxes! We got some dog treats in the mail, so they were giving out treats to all the dogs. After it was already time for Anthonys nap. Frank left to run some errands and Izarra and I took Anthony to the room to take his nap. We waited about 5 minutes and he was fast asleep. While he was taking his nap Izarra and I snuck out of the room and started cleaning the kitchen. Then it was cartoon time!

About two hours later he woke up and joined us in the living room to watch some cartoons. He was still a little cranky but nothing some cuddles could fix!  Apparently I was wrong!
Izarra wanted to help me make dinner, so I had her season the chicken. She helped me and then washed her hands and went back to the living room to watch cartoons with her brother. So, I was in the kitchen finishing up with the chicken and I hear Izarra picking on Anthony. I went and told her to leave him alone. They were fighting over the couch. I told them to be nice and of course kids don't listen. I went back to the kitchen and  hear Izarra screaming bloody murder. I ran and asked what happened, Anthony hit her. So I send her to her room to clam down and I sit Anthony down in 'timeout'. So she said it was her fault because she kept pushing Anthony. So they both said sorry and gave hugs.

Dinner time came and we were all excited to have a meal by Izarra. It was REALLY over seasoned.  After we were done Izarra offered to wash dishes. She brought her stepping stool thing and got started. She was so excited to wash dishes. I love how happy she gets when I ask her for help. I know when she gets older it wont be the same but I sure am enjoying it right now!
