Kids Table

I love the kids table!  Especially when it's full of friends.

Hard at Work, Playing

Elizabeth works very hard at drawing, and is getting better all the time. She did this picture today as a gift for our visitors Joshi and Billi and Jennifer. It shows Joshi and Elizabeth with Billi standing on their heads. Suzanne stands to the side.

Her focus on drawing is also nice for me and Barb, because (sometimes, but not always) she'll spend fifteen or twenty minutes absorbed by her work, which gives us a chance to do other things.

Random Bus Adventure

With nothing to do this rainy Saturday, we decided to hop on a bus and see what happened. (This was mostly Suzanne's idea.  Barb and the girls had taken the car into the shop on Friday and both kids had wanted to take the bus back. But the car didn't need much attention, so they waited and drove back. But the seed of the bus ride idea had been planted.)

What happened is we got quite wet, made an impromptu trip to the PSU farmers market, bought a loaf of bread and a pumpkin cookie, and had a great time.  We also got to field test Suzanne's new winter coat.

Hooray for spontaneity!
