We have been going to the library regularly after school so the kids can get their homework done without distractions (TV, fridge, etc.).
It has been a good thing, except Sophie doesn't have enough homework to keep her busy for the hours that the other two kids require.
So yesterday, Sophie and I got the big kids fed and settled, and then we took a Nature Walk in Central Park. We took a camera so Sophie took pictures of her favorite things she found in nature, and I was able to take pictures of 'Sophie's nature'.
Here are a few of Sophie's photos. She loved the flowers the most.
It was fun to be able to have a little one on one with her.
On a different note, now that the kids are off to school, I wanted to try this easy oatmeal recipe for my breakfast that I found on Beauty That Moves blog. If you like oatmeal, banana and chocolate, you'll love it!
Chunky Monkey OatmealIn a pot, mix 1 cup water (or less) with 1/2 cup oatmeal (not instant) and 1/8 - 1/4 tsp. cinnamon. Bring to a boil. Simmer a few minutes and add 1 chopped banana, 1 T. brown sugar. Remove from heat and add 1 small handful chocolate chips, 1 small handful walnuts and 1 dallop of vanilla yogurt. I like a little milk in mine too. Bon appetit!

mmmm...I'm definitely trying that as soon as I get me some chips. Looks like dessert disguised as breaky...LOVE it!
what a good idea with taking the kids to the library for homework. I am perpetually guarding the fridge becuase Lia is "hungry" about every 10 minutes. I will have to try the outside-the-house idea.
I tagged you. Go to my BLOG.
