It’s school vacation week. This year I am working most of the week, as is Chris, and the kids have exciting plans that include adventures with grandparents. Thank God for the Village.

For more than an hour now the kids have been at the table playing with play dough. Uninterrupted work time to use their imaginations and work together. Very nice start. They are creating a restaurant and making lots of foods. Mostly foods I can never get them to eat but at least they recognize them.

I like that both of them can spend lots of time like this. We can go hours without television. Hopefully today will be one of those days!
