Reading & Rest

This morning J and I went to an activity sponsored by a program called Parents as Teachers. It is for toddlers. The activity was at a Riverside park-very beautiful! So we sat on a bench and different people dressed up according to their book came and read to us. So that by the end we had six or seven stories read to us. It was really fun! And we got a free snack and book. And J sat through the whole thing! After that we walked by the river and played on the playground there.

Later, after we picked up Maile we went to "Chips and Chapters" At the library. Every body got a little bag of chips and the librarian read the first couple chapters of a book- to be continued next week. M really enjoyed that and J even sat and listened the first twenty minutes - thanks to the chips!

After that we had to go pick out a new microwave. Sadly, ours didn't wake up this morning. It has been on the brink for at least a year. The button to open it broke and then fixed itself, then it would only run for eight minutes max - if you cooked something for that long it had to rest for the rest of the night. Then the other morning it wasn't working but came on by lunch time. I thought that might be the case today but no such luck. Goodbye not-so-trusty microwave. You got me through a lot of leftovers, popcorn, and bottles. I'll not-so-much miss your melted spot where I left a bag of popcorn in you for about four minutes too long. You served me well!














Finally, we had a gift sent to us to celebrate M doing so well at school and so we had to go get Mexican for some cheese dip. It was yummy! Thanks for the treat!
