All In A Day' s Work And Play

...Continued from yesterday:
     On Monday morning Tom's and my L.A. workcation officially began, and we established our school-day routine.
    The day usually started around 6:30 am,

...with break-fast,

...then a bit of the week's homework assignment if there was time,

     I brought along with me the little figurines I sometimes use with my very young piano students to get them to do repetitions,

...then each time my grand daughter wrote out one of her words she was allowed to move a figure across her page.
     

     A spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down.

     Then  Grandpa would walk one to school,

...while the other had a bit more play time before preschool.

     Then at pick-up time Tom, Pinky-Poo and I  would walk back to the school,

...where, the Los Angeles weather being perennially nice, the hallways and backpack hooks are outside.

     After a happy reuniting of girl and dog we headed for home,

...always stopping along the way to check out any new arrivals at the  Little Free Library box,

...as well as to admire the birds-of-paradise.

     Some-times we made pizza after school.

   Once after school  we invited friends over to make pizza,

...and do nails.

   Other times we'd take Pinky Poo out for another walk ,

...back to the Little Library,

...or to show him the school.

   We went out for dinner a few times,

...for pizza,

...or to a homey little diner we discovered called Mandy's.

     After dinner it was time to finish up the homework,   

...and the nightly online reading assignment.

    Usually there was time for a craft,

...and some play time before bed,

...by which time we were usually all pretty tired.
