School's out...

Which means things are about to get a lot more creative, crafty, and interesting around here.  Is that not the freakiest thing?!  Claire is so quiet, sweet, compassionate, and then she does things like this.  She cracks us up.

 Claire is the queen of ideas that involve plenty of tape, marker, and making things as beautiful as she can.

Kate is so excited that Claire will be home from school now.

Riley pretty much follows me around or reads books.  But Claire will go off and hide in the laundry room, making a center piece out of laundry detergent and play dough.  I'm practicing my deep breathing, self-calming exercises already.  Let's do this!
