First, here is Mister Puppy having a snyack--some cookies made by Amanda. Yesterday, we went bowling with Dave and Muriel; this group of "elderly" folks just LOVED Maira and Callum....they went into the arcade with a fistfull of ones and tried to play the machine with the cute little crane/grabber thing until they could win a stuffed animal for each kid. We didnt know they were doing this until they came over and gave both Callum and Maira each a new animal. Callum named his purple dog "Amanda." Just saying. .....
I've written in PILTDOGS (Places I Love That Dont Often Get Seen) before about the basement/den. But we have made some changes, and I think it is a much cozier spot in which to hang out (English Dept meeting anyone??) Callum, for one, absolutely loves it down there now, and he calls it "the cave" because it reminds him of a cave.
We usually dont use the heat down in the basement....but the new "stove" has made it a lot warmer and a lot cozier downstairs....
The fish now live downstairs too. For a long time the tank lay dormant in the kids' room. Now that it is down in the den, it has NEW life, with the arrival of Finn and Annie, Callum and Maira's fish. Callum has put a chair in front of the tank so he and Maira can relax and watch the fish....
