Fresh air

It was a quiet Sunday today and we were indoors again. Cap spent time organizing some photos and working on his laptop. The kids played with a fair amount of kvetching and some tears. I finished Anansi Boys (slow start, but quite satisfying in the end).

By afternoon the kids and I were playing card games and Cap realized it was a bit too cold and windy for any lengthy outdoor play time (unlike last Sunday).

So, I took the bull by the horns and suggested a trip to the library, which the kids readily agreed to.

A week or two ago, I put a notebook and pen into our library book basket (a basket which holds whatever library books we currently have out) so that we could jot down titles or authors, as we thought of them, to look for on our next trip to the library. The kids were eager to get a copy of The Lorax which they had recently discovered through a card game we have at home.

By the time we got dressed (oh yes it was a pajama day) and headed out the door, the sky was looking ominous. And sure enough, it started to snow just then. The flakes, the fresh air, the biting wind, it made us all giddy and we started playing with the basketball, the umbrella and the camera.




We did eventually make it to the library. We ran into Donna and Daniel, we filled our bag with books and dvds. Then we headed up to Cap's office and picked up his old Playmobil toys which included some furniture which looks awesome in its new location, on the second floor of the Playmo house.

Okay. Another way to get fresh air, is by laughing. Go to Youtube and search for Sarah Silverman and Matt Damon. Then search for Beastie Boys and Richard Scarry.

Happy Sunday!
