Hardly Working

Katie has become increasingly interested in having her own 'work area' so she can color and cut-out things. She sees me working from home sometimes and I think she wants to replicate the 'importance' of having personal space when she is concentrating on something. (I think she just likes the idea of having a work space that guarantees some level of "you can't interrupt me, I'm busy working") I guess I need to think a little more about the impact of saying that to my kids when I am working at home...

So when Nana offered this little roll-top desk, it seemed like a great fit for Katies needs. She really gets into her coloring and crafts and especially loves her new desk. Thanks nana! This is nana's desk from when she was a littel girl, and was also used by TL and your's truly.

We were up in SB this weekemd. Got to see Nana, Papa, and Great Grandma. Highlights: Natural History Museum, Dinner and Woody's, and Ice Cream and McConnel's.

My favority mispronounced word of the week: Andy saying "Aliens", pronounced "LAY-LIE-ENS".

Oh one last quick story, tonight I'm giving the kids a bath. Katie says, "Andrew, pretend you are a boy in ballet and put your arms like this..." (She poses like a ballerina while sitting in the tub.)

(Andy looks at her confused and then his eyes get big as a new idea enters his brain...) Andy replies, "No Katie, pretend I have a lightsaber, and it's stuck in my back and I'm dead."
