...are three things that we can live without, apparently.
On friday our kitchen sink clogged up, enough to need a plumber. Well, it took until tuesday to for the plumber to come. Now, that's of course inconvenient for washing dishes (the dishwasher couldn't run. We hand-washed dishes in the bathroom.) But the real inconvenience, which is perhaps also the reason for the clog, is that our washing machine is hooked up to the sink. Mountains of laundry filled our hallway (the only room in our small house for it). I suppose we could've used a laundromat.
Secondly, the baby's first tooth arrived this week. Ok, so we'll of course still feed her baby food, and she was eating table food even before the tooth. Some of her favorites? Canned green beans, chicken, rice, and crackers. It sure is nice that she can feed herself some of the time now.
Enjoying some crackers!
It really is there, it's just hard to see.
And finally, we've been trying out no tv/video games during the week. It's been quite successful. So far Z has read Mouse Tales and The Frod and Toad Treasury by Arnold Lobel and another book called The Seven Treasure Hunts by Betsy Byars that we picked up at the Friends of the Library bookstore. She also finger-knitted bracelets and necklaces for the whole family (exc. baby). All this in her free time. Ok, I'm done bragging.
All of us with our finger-knitted jewelry (this is where I learned to finger-knit, it's easy!)
