Letter Writing Day


Aunt Linda sent address stickers so the children can write to her more easily. In the excitement over the stickers (and Ilia's prodding mom to find the other letters she'd written) we've had quite the morning of letter writing. It's been a continuous whirlwind of paper, pens, envelopes, stickers, stamps, questions on spelling, looking up addresses, and whirling preschoolers. It wasn't what I had planned for school today, but I think it counts -- what better writing practice and real world experience than writing real letters to real people! Garrick and Ilia each wrote a bunch of letters. Emony wrote a birthday card to her cousin Emma, complete with cake illustrations. Tobin appointed himself the sticker man. Dixon helped by sleeping through most of it. When he woke up Ilia rescued him from the crib. He's sitting on his own now, and likes to practice standing.

Me? I'm hungry. I was planning to fix myself some soup, but with all the letter writing excitement I haven't been able to get to the kitchen. I have a headache, too, had one all night and all morning. That's the only thing putting a damper on my Letter Writing Day Experience.

did you ever see on CSI where they have a recording of something that happened and they take it to the computer techie guy and he separates out all the different speakers and noises? I'm thinking of hiring him. I'd like to be able to listen to everyone who has been talking to me this morning, but one at a time, with all the others muted. I guess my ability to pay attention and weed out background noise is being compromised by my headache. But that really belongs in it's own blog, doesn't it?

Here's a bunch of pix. I can't figure out how to cleverly arrange them today. Maybe next time.



Ugh, after uploading those, they sure look awful! Not sure if it's because I shrunk them so small or if it compressed them to death or probably both. Not much help having pics you can't see. Sorry. Maybe I'll fix this later ... you're stuck with it for now!
