Winter in America

Winter in America

Chess has really captured the imaginations. Even E is bringing some of the strategy into his knights games.

From thinking The Daddy One would be in Texas he actually has a home day today. We have, in various combinations along with Smart Sandals, played magic cauldron, made Chinese lanterns, been to the library for Roman Mysteries, visited the allotment, made the duplo castle, work has commenced on S's history of doll's project and, via wikipedia, we have discovered that Skipper has a twin brother call Todd. It's gonna be a great project.

The fragile balance of time in and time out and seeing friends and being as a family was just saved this week. I am getting better at reading the signs. Thanks to Christina and Muddy Sandy Life for the sign posts towards staying connected.

I'm so glad you found your balance. It's something I have to keep in check all the time. Also, I love the idea of doing a research project on the history of dolls. How unusual! Write sometime how it's going.
