Eating at snack at Dad's desk at work

This week..

-- was uncomfortably scheduled. T or I had something every evening (CPR recertification, staff meeting, youth group, dinner with friends, etc). It left little time to hang as a family. We spent the weekend with little plans which was such a refreshment! We started a little project turning an un-optimally used closet into a simple desk/office space. We found a home for all the misc linens that were stacked on the floor, painted an accent wall, and have stained some wood that will be the desk. Should be an attractive and functional space!
-- Elle rediscovered her love of pretzel sticks and can eat her weight in them if you allow. She also loves to "play" a Sesame Street game on the computer where she points and giggles at all the images and you have to play the game for her. She has a new puzzle board covered in hooks and latches that she mastered in one evening. It probably holds her attention longer than any other toy has before. She is on a highchair strike and is very particular which chair we each sit in at dinner. She desperately wants to help with every step when we are cooking and stole the cut carrots off the cutting board to put in "her mixing bowl" then covered them with a random spice from the drawer! She is a ball of energy who keeps us smiling!
