Gift #7: Pillows and Blankets

Besides the obvious benefit involving comfort and warmth, I am also thankful for blankets and pillows because of their entertainment value. The kiddies had no school today, and I had lots of laundry to do. We were in short supply of fun, so we built a mountain/ramp/trampoline.



Chad wanted a picture of himself flying. Instead, he got mostly blurry images with his head chopped off. And many landing images.



He was not impressed with my photo skills.

Gift #6: Valentines

Honestly, it's not my favorite holiday. I suppose I'm not much of a romantic (excluding my love of all things related to Jane Asten and BBC Masterpiece Theater). I think the best way to celebrate, is to do so on an elementary level. Cards, boxes, conversation hearts - I like it simple.

These are the cards we will be sending out this year:





Nice 'staches, right?

Gift #5: Wind

I took this one while flying the kite. A bit shaky, but I loved the expressions.

Sometimes, you just have to go with the elements.
