Good Things from the Break

fleaI go back to work tomorrow; the kids start school Wednesday.
They have written 3 thank-you notes with little fuss. Casper's are somewhat routine but still decent, and Dillo writes his name and the name of the gift-giver (which I spell). Dillo's writing is adorable - his es are backwards - and he has developed in figural drawing, too, with round eyes and smiles and bodies and limbs. He still prefers drawing rockets to people.
We are almost finished with The Hobbit - read two chapters this noon in the sun on the porch, with the kids swinging in the hammock. I'd like to finish tonight. Dillo only partly follows, but likes to pretend he is little Bilbo with his sword Sting.
I didn't get much accomplished, and was stressed out by unstructured days in cold weather with the kids, but it was okay.
