Tidbits from the Week

--On the mornings that I drop R and RUS off, R and I have about half an hour together that we spend walking a bike trail near her school. Yesterday she told me that her best friend at school offered to share her money with her for pizza day, which is every Wednesday. We had to have the talk about how we don't share money and I promised her that next week for pizza day we would send money for her to buy a slice.

--I still absolutely LOVE the laptop lunchbox that J bought for me, actually, but which has become R's lunchbox for school.

--It's so much fun picking RUS up from school because it's so obvious that his teacher loves him. Yesterday I was carrying him and she came over to say goodbye and they just had the cutest conversation filled with smiles and mutual adoration.

--We went to an annual arts festival last weekend with Grammie and had a lot of fun browsing. They bring together really accomplished artists of all kinds and stripes. Then we went up to the zoo. Here's the only picture I took, of the kids and Grammie stamping animal prints onto little cards.
