Why can't Kindergarten be Full Day?

I have totally changed my mind in regards to the above question. I used to think all day Kindergarten was a bad thing, now I realize that I couldn't have been more wrong. After Abbie's enjoyable 3 hour day, she comes home, eats, lunch, we read together, and then what? She makes up games and scenarios to act out. Here are some of them: She made a "toy store" for Scottie (this is where she gets almost everything out that we own and Scott's supposed to pick from the toys), she made a hotel (this is where she gets out every blanket, sleeping bag, alarm clocks, and costumes. We pretend like we live in the hotel and look for London Tipton), she made a castle (this is where she gets kitchen chairs, towels, and Germ X out. I don't really get this game and I'm not sure why castles equal hand sanitizer), she makes me "snacks" (this usually consists of bread with a pile of fish crackers on top). I could go on and on, but I'm tired just thinking about all the crap I get to put away on a daily basis. This is how I found her yesterday, watching Hannah Montana (not on the couch, but with lawn chairs of course)...


I love her imagination, but wonder if her time wouldn't be better spent learning and playing at school rather than making the family room a daily nightmare to clean up! Gotta love Abbs!
