Odds and Ends


Melanie made me and Philip out of plasticine, and once we was no longer new Evelyn played with us.
Nathan finished off the organ repair that Stanley and him started during the visit in December. It required a bit of improvisation, but it now works great!
Melanie, inspired by Matthew's drawing book, did some drawings. And she collected drawing pencils of all the different soft and hardness that she could find, made a case for them and tied them up very elegantly. Now will she remember to draw?
She is never in a good mood during school. Why not?
After the big thaw we had a very light layer of snow again. Hardly enough to go down the hill...but as somebody (still don't know who) dropped off some sleds at our door while we were out, it was time to have some fun anyways!
Oma visited us briefly. Evelyn colored her a picture that I sent digitally instead of mailing.
Matthew did some baking. Or sampling. I'm not sure what he did more of.
Jennifer worked hard at her piano. Her teacher has been impressed with her effort!
I haven't been as faithful with bedtime stories...but they are never entirely forgotten!
We had to take out some toys we hadn't seen in a while just to take care of the "no snow cold weather doldrums".

Lots of good activity by the kids - Nathan with the organ, Melanie with her drawing and her pencil holder, Matthew with his baking, Jennifer with piano and Evelyn with coloring and playing. Great stuff!
