This week is our April break-Aidan and I. Here are some photos from the beginning of the week. We spent Monday at an arcade with LB and RB, went on a picnic Tuesday at the park with LB and BB, spent yesterday in MD's offices-Aidan had a regular appointment but also has an ear infection, I think-they can't see his ear for all the wax. He has been sick for a few weeks, though, so I'm hoping that they can see it today. I, myself, am already on antibiotics for an ear and sinus infection, and it took a few weeks for that to show up. So hopefully he'll get some real relief soon.

I got a couple of place mats at the store for Aidan to practice shapes and letters. They're two sided and use dry-erase markers, so they can be wiped clean after each use. I had no idea that Little Baby would enjoy using them too!       We've been learning, too; don't forget to check out our "Second Time Around" page.
Aidan loves to cook and Little Baby loves to play house, so you put the two of them together and you have a mess, not to mention a good time. First they colored Christmas pictures, then they decorated the tree and the living area, and then they made gingerbread men and a gingerbread tree. After that they walked to my mother's house to deliver some of their cookies, came home and had hot tea together (it was about 0º outside with the wind chill factor).      I'm not a knicknack person, except for papers and books-I have reams and stacks of those. Although I do have some knicknacks and figurines, if there is no nostalgic or personal value to them, I toss them. Christmas is my one exception, but even then I find that almost everything has some memory attached to it.  One of several Christmas decorations made by my second sister, Kate (1948-2004)   G loves Christmas, knicknacks, decorations, Christmas (did I already mention that?), and dogs. So when I was at a fair a couple of years ago, I couldn't resist getting this little thing for him.   My niece and her mother (1951-2005) made this for me several years ago. It was accompanied by a beautiful wreath made of straw that was stuffed with little squares of this plaid fabric, all cut with pinking shears, and accented with gold. My niece was probably about 10 years old at the time. The wreath has long since gone, but not the ornament.   Pretty Baby had a collection of fat-bottomed soft snowmen, and she loves the Misfit Toys so much that we bought her a collection when she first moved out, then bought some for ourselves. So everything in this row reminds me of her.
