  • Fixing and Fixing to

    We're all really enjoying our record streak of 100 degree days. Rone likes it because I've decided to let him start taking anything that doesn't work apart, Cotton because she gets to play Wii (Everybody Dance Now!), and Seph because she gets to play with the curling iron.  None of these things really came up much before getting in the car required a pre-cooling every dang day.

    Seph is also plotting her takeover of the local elementary school. She'll be heading into fifth grade this fall, and is very excited.  We're doing things like buying lunchboxes, and our neighbor is going to take her shopping for new clothes for school, since department stores make me panicky.  It will be a big change for all of us (hello 7am!), but I think it's going to work out well.  Tiny will be heading to preschool two mornings a week, as well, which will give Rone and I some time to work on the things he likes to do--unscrew things and catch bugs.
