Today, Friday, we went to Leed’s Farm. This is the second year we’ve gone to Leed’s on COTA day (a day off school for Central Ohio Teachers). The farm is open to the public on weekends, but only open to school groups on week days with the exception of COTA day. We had a great…
R-girl’s birthday just happened to fall the week we went to North Carolina with Jason’s family. M-girl asked if we could go somewhere on her birthday, too. We thought that might be fun, so Jason scheduled vacation and we dilly-dallied deciding where to go. Last week, we were debating going or staying home and doing…
M-girl, as I believe I mentioned, turned six (6!) on Wednesday. We had her family party on Sunday, a fun time was had by all. She got some fun presents, but so far the favorites seem to be her Red Riding Hood porcelain doll from my parents and Qwirkle, which we’ve played three or four…

(Like the GeoPuzzles in this regard, but it is the whole world instead…
