Fun times.

Cooler temperatures have made me dig deep to remember what we do during all the cold weather we're about to encounter.  Here is one thing that will help:  Jake is learning to read!  Go, Jake!  It's my 3rd time through the Sam books, but I love it.  Watching my kids learn to read is one of the greatest things in life. I am so happy for the doors this will open for Jake!  Here he is with Jade, who was helping him, and Finn, who was watching.

We made some playdough, and it has been used and reused about a gazillion times.  Here they were playing chocolate shop.  There were many flavors of chocolate.

Here's Harper with a monster truck again.  She makes very good sound-effects already, and drives stuff around all day.
