- Daddy's pants.

- [Kendra] No, those are mine, dude.

- What, they are?

- [Kendra] Yeah, how come you decided to wear 'em?

- Because I wanted to.

(soft music)

- The things he comes up with to do just crack me up.

Elise is working on patterns for math this morning.

Isaac is making a map of which state?

- Alabama.

- [Jeremy] Well, what's your name?

- Caleb.

- So today is one of those days when I feel

literally pulled in 100 directions.

I just tend to feel a little bit overwhelmed.

There's Laura.

(Laura yelling)

Are you working on your math?

- Yeah.

- So Caleb and I are doing some Lego math today.

- Four.

- Four and how many is this one?

- Two.

- So four plus two equals how many?

- Six!

- Good job.

(slaps)

Which one of these is the biggest number?

- Zeew-puh!

- What number is this one?

- Seven and this one is.

This one's six.

- Oh, this one's six, huh? - This one's four.

- Which one's the same age as Isaac?

- Pshew!

And how big is dad?

- Can we make one as old as dad?

- Yeah, look!

- Do you think we have enough DUPLOs?

- Yeah, we needs to do, we can different colors.

- Okay.

- Five.

- Six.

- Seven.

33.

- There it is.

So, we've got one for dad.

- Chyeah!

- And we've one for Isaac.

It's our DUPLO family.

- Now we need to go get mom.

- Mmm, how tall will mine be?

- Uh, I don't know.

- How old am I?

- 22.

- 22.

(laughs)

- [Kendra] You did it, Lise.

All by yourself! (clapping)

(electronic melody) (giggles)

I made myself a big plate of leftovers from last night.

What are you looking at?

- A bite.

- [Kendra] What do you want a bite of?

- That.

- [Kendra] He wants a bite of my food.

They all have.

So, I love that they walked up

and they're like, "Mom, that looks so good!"

"We need to try it!"

And so I gave them all a bite with the kale

and the broccoli and the mushrooms and the pesto

and they're loving it.

So, every day Elise and I review these flash cards together

and so, I'm always trying to think of ways to

make it interesting that we are reviewing them

and so, today I told her that she could choose

the location for where she wanted to review them

and I was like, "We can review them in my room,

"we can review them on the stairs."

And Elise said...

- In the car!

- [Kendra] So, here we are in our car.

You ready to review?

- Don't forget to buckle your seats!

(laughing)

- [Kendra] Are you being silly?

(growling)

(laughing)

All right, so Elise, what are you cookin'?

- Eggs.

- Eggs, so Elise is doing her sight words today

with this fun activity and please note,

it is not plugged in at all.

So these are printables that I found online

and I just knew that Elise would love this.

You know, when you're reviewing sight word every day,

you really want to keep it fun

and engaging and she loves cooking so,

let's see it, Lisey, pick one to read.

- With.

- [Kendra] With.

Flip it on over.

Uh oh!

(laughing) Good thing that wasn't a real egg!

- Yeah.

- [Kendra] Good work.

- This one's actually green!

- [Kendra] Did it work out? - [Isaac] Yeah!

- Well, it's been really pretty here the last several weeks

but it's kinda cold and cloudy out today

so Isaac and I are playing next to the fireplace.

It's probably one of the last times this year

that we're going to be able to use it

but, it kind of feels nice to just cozy up

and Laura is finally napping and just enjoy time together.

So what happens in this game is

Isaac is trying to guess my code

that I've got right here.

- Sgedi.

- [Jeremy] Sgedi?

- [Laura] Yes!

- We're using the leftover green noodles.

- [Laura] Green noodles!

- [Kendra] Green noodles!

- Yes! (claps)

- Why are you putting eggs on top of that?

- Because that's what I'm making for dinner.

- [Caleb] Leftovers are gross.

- You think so?

I'm making green noodles and eggs.

When I lived in Austria, my host mother

there made this for us and you use

noodles that have already been cooked

and you just add eggs and scramble them in

and then, we're gonna add some tomatoes and some spinach.

- [Caleb] Oh. - And some cheese.

So, Isaac has been waiting for Jeremy to get home

so they could review the brackets.

- Oklahoma won.

North Carolina won.

Syracuse beat Dayton.

- Ohhh, I chose Dayton!

I have that. - Oh, dzzsh!

Dzzsh!

You had Dayton going twice.

- And you have none! (laughing)

- I picked Syracuse.

'Kay, Michigan State, boozj!

- Dad, that's yours.

Boozj!

Bzzj! - Hey, I'm lucky, dude!

- Ohhh!

It's a lot of fun to do this with Isaac.

(sizzling)

- [Kendra] Laura, what are we makin'?

- [Laura] Popcorn.

- Popcorn, do you like popcorn?

- Uh-huh!

(popping)

Popping!

- [Kendra] It is, it's popping, huh?

(popping) - [Laura] I want to eat it.

So yucky.

- It's not so yucky, it's so yummy!

So we're doing something I've never tried before.

We are making popcorn balls

but we're making 'em marshmallow-based popcorn balls.

It's kinda like Rice Krispie Treats.

(rustling)

Oops.

- [Caleb] Popcorn next--

- Ahh, it's stuck all over me!

(laughing)

- [Jeremy] What did mom put on your hands?

- Lotion. - [Jeremy] Lotion?

- It feels like lotion.

- [Jeremy] What is it?

- Butter.

- [Jeremy] Butter.

- [Kendra] Everybody's gonna make their own popcorn ball.

All right, Laura, do you have butter on 'em?

- Mmm-hmm.

- [Kendra] Are you gonna make a popcorn ball?

♫ A popcorn ball that will smell so sweet

(upbeat music)

- [Caleb] Oh, yummy.

- [Elise] Ready for my hand.

- [Kendra] Here you go.

- Now, can I eat it?

- [Kendra] Yes, everybody can pick one and eat it now.

- [Jeremy] Is it any good?

- Mmmmm!

- Come see, so this is New York.

- Woah, I never saw those in my whole life before.

- Where's the Empire State Building?

- All right, so this is called the Brooklyn Bridge.

- (gasps) Wow!

Wow.

- [Elise] I wanna see, I wanna see closer.

- [Kendra] I know, me too, Lisey.

We'll have to go there.

- So today, Kendra discovered the 3D flyover tours

that Google has of different cities.

- Oh, this is, what's that building called?

- Empire State Building.

- You're right, Empire State Building.

- That is humongous! - Look how tall that is!

- This was the tallest building!

- No, Willis Tower's taller.

- [Elise] Oh.

- [Kendra] What city is Willis Tower in?

- [Isaac] Chicago.

- So, someday we're gonna go into a skyscraper?

- Someday I hope to take you guys,

(gasps) there it is!

There's Central Park!

I'm such a nerd.

I'm absolutely loving this.

- [Jeremy] Didn't you guys look at

a bunch of other cities earlier today?

- Yeah, Dublin. - We looked at Dublin.

- [Elise] I haven't saw Dumb-lin.

(laughing) - Oh, and Cork.

Golden Gate Bridge. - [Elise] Golden Gate Bridge.

- [Isaac] It's a very long bridge.

- [Jeremy] How are they getting all that video?

- I think it's a bird flying and videoing.

- [Jeremy] So, did--

- How in the world did they get a bird to video it?

- [Jeremy] So Google just trained some birds

to carry around cameras to get the footage?

- Uh, actually no.

(whooping)

- I want milk now.

- Do you want your milk?

What did you just put on my face?

Can you say good night?

- Good night, J House out.

- (laughing) Good night, J House out.

(soft music)

- [Kendra] It worked!
