Monday, I brought Peyton’s schoolwork home. There were random homemade worksheets with shapes being matched to shapes, and upper case matching to lower case letters. I showed them to Dave, then he put them in the recycling bag we had by the trash can. Peyton was walking around the kitchen yesterday, and stopped in front of the bag. She saw her work, and said, “Who put these in the trash? That’s mine!” She took them out, and put them back on her spot at the table. Dave was home late last night, so I texted him what happened shortly after it occurred. He didn’t believe it and even asked me about it again after he got home. We’ll have to more stealthily recycle them in the future so as not to hurt her feelings.

We got caught many times, too. Mckayla was quite upset digging up her work from the recycling bin each time.
