Grace in small things, December 28, 2016

1. Super fun playdate this morning...sledding and snowman building and trying to drive a play car in the snow and kids crawling under a tree into a little kids-only tree fort...love playing outside in the snow...
2. Got stuck in the driveway going home but my friend's husband and cousin and uncle got me out...they were awesome...
3. Luke: "Mommy, you carrying me is like a hug with walking."
4. Kids got some money for Christmas and had such fun picking out toys at the toy store...they considered pooling their money to buy a bigger ticket item but ended up doing separate things...they were really good about staying within budget...we were talking about allowances today, too...they might be ready...
5. Sis putting together a tea party with her lambs and bear and her new red-and-white polka dot play tea set...
6. Luke starting to engineer his own marble mazes...
7. Luke and Zo, looking at a wildlife picture Papa sent from Costa Rica: "Is that a capybara?" I love that my 4-year-olds know what a capybara is...ah, the power of books and reading to them...
