friday chaos

Our morning started off nicely enough. Celia helped me make little apple pies for breakfast with biscuit dough, apples, cinnamon and sugar in muffin cups. It was a great cooking activity for her because she could help with every step,

although she did more eating than helping.

We also had music class this morning. Then, when we got home things started to fall apart. Pita was tired, and cranky, and almost anything was setting her off into a tantrum. We had a very long two hours before nap time finally arrived. Then, it took forty minutes and two tries to actually get her to sleep. Gah! When she finally fell asleep I started the dishwasher and a load of laundry, finished getting dinner in the slow cooker, and did a little cleaning. Now, some peace and quiet for a while. I usually wake her up from her nap so she doesn't sleep too long, but I think today we both need a nice long nap time...
