Work and play

 Wouldn't you like your life to have these proportions? One of my children feel this represents their time.

 Oh, to be a carefree child once again! What a life!

 Some of the play:

 Daniel working on his piano practice.

 Jennifer setting the table without complaining or arguing. (certainly a moment worth photographing!)

 Matthew gone bird watching. All he saw was his mother.

 Matthew and Melanie discussing knitting. Needle size changes, projects to make.

 Evelyn received a photo of a cousin her age for her birthday. I rescued it while it was being trimmed to size by miss independent. I took over the trimming so it fits nicely. She didn't appreciate my help. But now Mark is hanging on the wall so she can see him when she is in bed.

 And Evelyn lost her first tooth! When asked about it. No, it wasn't wiggly. I just pushed it out with my tongue when I was in bed. (strong tongue)

 What are the girls waiting for? The plumber! We've never had a plumber come before. And THIS plumber is going to make sure that our sewer doesn't come up into the basement. Then we can flush and wash our hands as much as we like without worries.

 A long time ago Nathan finished his model airplane. Not bad considering all the design he had for it was a photo.

 Evelyn is helping me with my plants. Spring is here and we are making preparations for the day when there is no more frost!
