Sophie had 2 days off of school this week- one teacher inservice day and one snow day. Her friend, Emma, came over one day and they made a tea party for Abe and Helen with apple juice, toast and tarts. Even more impressive, they cleaned the kitchen afterwards without being asked. Perfect hostesses.


Sophie, Emma and Abe built a snowman in the field near our house. It would probably take all the snow in our yard to build a snowman this big.


We really like ground flax seed- it's full of Omega 3 fatty acids and fiber and tastes like nothing so we eat it on granola and oatmeal. Becky filled our sugar shaker with ground flax seed and now Abe liberally shakes it on all kinds of stuff. At least it's healthful.


Helen and Brandan cleaned up together after lunch on Saturday. Helen likes to eat the bubbles. Not so healthful.
