We've begun our great growing Odyssey! Here the kids helped me plant some bell pepper seeds in recycled soda bottles.
 You can also see our tray of egg cartons filled with dirt and tons of strawberry seeds! Can't wait to see this all start to grow and have a bounty of strawberries, YUM!

Claire is showing off her book
 Then Ruth joined the party
 Everything was civil until the boy hopped in

Making words and playing with letters and sounds
 Claire got jealous I was snapping photos of the older sibs and came stomping over to get my attention. As soon as I turned the camera on her she hammed up!

Playing Sorry with friends: Will was mad I interrupted the game

Brad worked late a couple nights so the kids and I went around the corner to BK. We played for an hour. The weather has been so cruddy that they REALLY enjoyed getting to play on the indoor playground. 
 Is it just me, or do those tunnels look a lot like hampster cages?
 Claire loves fries
The other morning Will came into my room and said, "Mom, it's 6, dot dot, E, L." He was looking at my digital clock. I told him to go away for 30 more minutes...but was also really glad he's trying to read the time and make associations.
