Blog header

Like my new banner? I read a great tutorial from Sarah at Clover Lane. She’s so smart! I’ll be on the lookout now for free background paper for future headers :)

Now if only Picasa had guidelines so I could line my pictures up! As a past Photoshop guru, the imprecision of Picasa drives me nuts!

A quiet(ish) day

We had a really nice day today. Alan went back to work, but Lex had the day off. Rosy left, Amanda came to work, but the kids and I just chilled. I turned down invites places and canceled company plans and I think it’s exactly what they needed. We spent a lot of the day doing this:

Eve won Sorry

Eve won Sorry (I think this was actually yesterday... I lose track!).

Apparently Lex won Double Sorry, but I didn’t get a picture of that.

Solar boat

Lex built the solar boat today.

Trains

They spent A LOT of time with these trains today. By the end of the day they were playing together nicely, like they were actually friends. Like they should! It reinforced my plan-canceling day.

Snowman

Lex's homework this week was to make a "Family snowman." He came home with paper plates and needs to return with a snowman. I think the "family" part meant we all got to help. Eve and I let Lex lead the way and we all worked together.

Overall a very nice day. One that ended with two happy kids in bed and asleep by 7:30pm! Now let’s all hope that everyone goes to school tomorrow, happily. I hear rumors of a snow day though…

Swimming

Rosy came swimming with us this weekend so I finally got to take some pictures! Yay! It was Saturday afternoon and the pool was PACKED, but we all had fun. Check out my little fishes.


  

  

Ok, that last one isn’t really swimming, but it’s close! Lex built the solar powered boat today and we put it in water. I think we need a stronger light source (What?! Stronger than the sun in VT in January?!?) It was fun anyway.
