It's off to school they go! Yesterday was the first day back to school for M and M. While M isn't living with us full-time anymore, he is coming to our house in the mornings often and dropped off here everyday after school by the bus. So, this morning I was able to see both kids off to school for their first day back. K came home and said she really likes her teacher. She said she is … [Read more...]

Kenzie and I have been playing games a lot lately. We started with Hyper Slide, moved on to Rummikub, and last played Jenga. We also threw in some Othello, Mancala, and Candy Land (with Johnny). I never was a sit-down-and-play-games type person. I enjoy them when I do, but it never was something I was overly interested in doing.
