Grandma and Grandpa got home from Australia on Thursday, so we went to the airport to pick them up. We didn't have to wait long, but there was a train to play on so it wouldn't have even mattered!

A friend dropped off a bag of hand me downs today for Ellie. It was full of stuff Ellie loved. (And love may be an understatement there). Included in the pile is a strapless hot pink and orange shirt that Ellie has declared "perfect for Mexico!"

Rowan's very favorite errand of all (and believe me, he loves each and every one of them) is the "PTO bank". They always have a sucker for him. And because he's not the first child, he gets to enjoy it. At home. Sitting. Right beside me.

We don't very often order from the kids' school book orders, so when we do, the selection process is intent. Conor uses a "circles and heavy xs" method, while Ellie usually has some sort of 3 star system.

Each of us got a knitted ornament from Sarah on our presents this year. I wasn't ready to pack them away, but they look so nice on the wreath in the front room. I could use a few more though...

Rowan got a "laptop" for Christmas. When the big kids play on the real computer, he gets his out as well. We hear the computer voiced "R" a lot, because "R is for Woah-wee".

Snow day #4. So far school doesn't get out until June 2nd, which seems awfully far off. Rather than throw away the old box of Fruit Loops that no one seems to have ever liked, we strung them to hang them for the birds. So far it seems that the birds don't care for them either!
