On Friday night Meadow and I started a game of Monopoly. I couldn't remember exactly how to play so I read the directions. Wow we were playing all wrong as kids. I thought we'd actually play by the rules. Waffles for breakfast this week. Meadow built a house for Theo out Magnatiles. A very fragile home.
