Multiplication arrays?

I was doing homework with my Tater last night, 3rd grade math.  Should be simple, can't figure out why the boss had so much trouble and left it for me to do with her. (Note, I tutored from 3:20-4:40, ran her to practice, went to the High School to pick up Bean from XC, took him to shop with his Boy Scout troop mates and then went to get Dizzy from practice and arrived home at 8:15--I got nothing done at home, but I did get nearly half of my book read!) I laughed and then looked at the problems.

Hmm, not sure what they are asking.  There is really only one way to multiply and one way to divide.  How you do that is up for discussion but I never did figure out what they were asking for. Had to dig out the Skittles in the cupboard to work out how to divide 24 by 3.
This am was the kid run for me.  Leave house at 7:02, drop Bean at 7:15, Dizzy at 7:25 and had Tater at the Volunteer Fire Department at 7:35 for hot cocoa with the fire fighters before they head to school as a pack for Walk to School Day.  This was the 12th year my kiddos have done it, although the first years were just at the school around the park. We missed a year or two due to rain, but usually dive in for the fun.
Home for a few more before delivering math homework to Tater (oops) and off for a haircut.  The kitties both felt the need to cuddle this am, although Mickey didn't appreciate me snuggling with Bitsey one bit.

I did not get up for the eclipse this am, knowing I had to be up before 6 and waking up when the Boss got home at 2:15 (OK maybe I was already awake for whatever reason), but I have enjoyed everyone else's pictures on Facebook this morning.

Tuesday was a much better day, my voice is mostly back and it's just the last of the crud to  drain away. Hoping for a great rest of the week, sunshine and warm is always welcome!

Be Happy! Be Healthy! Be sure to enjoy the beautiful sunshine!
