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 this time. Waffles for breakfast this week. Meadow built a house for Theo out of Magnatiles. A very fragile home. For some reason the kids love to climb on the old compost bins in our yard.  

A week removed from Brooke's surgery and with our new-to-us Yuba Mundo Lux nearly assembled we were ready for an adventure. Also all the snow had mostly melted and the roads were finally clear.

In the mornings Meadow has started going downstairs right away to play instead of coming to our room first. Brooke caught her in the act.

Sometimes Meadow is cranky when I make breakfast. I don't blame her. I would be sad if the counters were 2 feet above my head and I couldn't see what was going on. I brought over a step stool for her to stand on so she could watch.
